Final Animation - Finally!

Here it is! Of course there are still some things I wish I could have finished before I turn it in this afternoon. I would have liked to do some experimenting with fur on the beard and eyebrows. This has been a great learning experience.

And, as for you Publick, this horrible Monarch impression is the price you pay for not replying to my email. This voice could have been yours!

Final Animation - Surfacing and Materials

First pass with the new textures. I ran into a little problem with the UVs and got this CRAZY result. It's like The Mighty Monarch on drugs:

I found the problem! I forgot to delete the non-deformer history in the model file, which got referenced through the pipeline, and just wrecked havoc all the way down. When I deleted the history (to fix the problem), I lost my blendshape node.

Don't worry though! I reattached the blend shapes, and the animation I made transferred to the new node, no problem. BUT! I used the old blendshape node to drive the teeth and tongue, and all those driven keys were lost. I did a quick repair, and the teeth are looking a little funky, but it's not bad!

Animation Assignment 11 - Developed Action

First pass for eyebrows, eyeballs, and head action.

Animation Assignment 11 - Lip Sync and Animation

Lip sync is looking all right for the first pass. I still have to add eyebrows, head motion, and eye motion to enhance the "acting" in the scene.
