Hi all,
As part of the on-going learning process and the development of Marie, I have had my first attempt at trying some lip-sync animation. I am wondering if I needed to push the morph targets further or if I need some more/other expression or mouth targets. Plus if I do, I am not sure that I have the low-poly detail to really do all the animation. Its a pitty that there isn't a whole range of low-poly images showing Gollum in expressions and lip-sync movements. With luck the new 4 DVD set for "The Two Towers" will have a lot of stuff about Weta Digital and how it was al done :)
The video is around 400K and you will need Divx 5.1 to watch it.
