This week’s class was very interesting. We looked at mouth shapes and needed to make a short animation based on a video. Because there is no facial binding, we need to use the blend shape to create different mouth shapes and allow movement of the face muscles, eyes and eyebrows. With these steps, we can make the avatar animation be more natural. Furthermore, we need to import the video and audio into maya to make the animation fit the reference better. Then animate each frame according to the speed and content of the reference.
