Procedural face rig - simple


These are very simple facial rigs we used for Psyop-IBM project. It was simple
enough to script the whole setup. I made sure the skinning was nice with a nice
fall off to get the basic poses we needed. I also included a animation UI that have
few features , like , selecting controls on left or right side, selecting opposite
control , resetting controls, mirroring controls left-right side. Anything that
would make animating faster for the animators. The build part was written in
MEL and the animation UI and functionality was written in Python.
Guys did really nice job animating these characters. I am a huge fan of Psyop !
I may post a video of how it all worked. MORE TO COME ....
