This week we refined the animation of lip sync and set up the camera, texture, light and took the render.
Conclusion
This whole facial rigging exercise was very beneficial. We explored sculpting, rigging, weight painting, phonetics, and blend shapes. This exercise helped us to explore the muscle study of the face. We learned how the movement of one muscle or bone influences the other part of the face.
This week in the animation class we were supposed to work on the body mechanics shot that we planned the previous week. I started the animation by doing blocking first by keeping the reference in mind. After that I started adding in between keys to make it smooth.
Challenges faced
The most critical challenge I faced was timing and spacing. In the first pass my timing is very slow and it does not feel like character has put so much force to jump over the wall. I assumed that I have to add some pushed poses and anticipation in the character.
