It all seems to be coming together nicely so far with a couple of Addons that have been helping, namely AutoRig Pr0 and Faceit. The results have been great, I just need to make sure that the face rig created after the body rig, follows the head bone, or thereabouts. I reckon all in it took about 4 hrs to understand it all well enough to get a fully rigged working character. Now, a little clean up with mixing them together and then onto mocap with an Iphone. All in, I’m hoping to create a functional way to both create quick and highly expressive character design face gestures, and hopefully some automated lipsync that actually looks good…
Markers being placed…
