During these two weeks, we have been busy with lip-syncing the head to an audio file. We made shape blends a few times during this term but also deleted them a lot to start over. I now have a small example of the start of my lip-syncing which I still have to change a lot. but here is a sneak peek of the model:
It is still missing a lot of movement, at the moment it is only a part of the mouth that is moving up and down and changes a bit. but as you see in the video there are a lot more things that are moving than only the mouth. this is where we need to use the blend shapes that we got introduced to. These blend shapes give us the ability to give our modeled faces a bit more expression. You have to open the rigg first as far as it goes at that part and then add blend shapes to animate it, these blend shapes are used for a more natural look.
