Lip Synch WIP


#1

Here’s a WIP lip synch I am currently doing using Faceware. I’ve done a 1 day pass so far…further refinements coming soon. It is a line from Point Break. I rigged the face, blendshapes come from photogrammetry scans from a Vancouver shop - Pixel Light Effects.
Comments and critiques welcome!

The deformations look really good! The mouth is coming along nicely but I think you should focus on the eyes/brows. You need to clarify the emotion and attitude the character is feeling during each part of the dialog. There’s almost too much going on there and you should simplify. I also think that for “I have no idea what a blind man” needs to feel more emphasized - more head rot might help with that, like maybe some slight side-to-side.

I think this is excellent - the only thing that jumped out for me was the cheek deformation on the ‘TW’ sound -
I thought it was too extreme and it preceded the sound - ie the morph blend start was a little harsh.

Thanks for the comments! The head side-to-side when saying ‘no’ is a great idea too. Update coming soon!

It’s been a while… finally got to refine the animation.
