The Bane of my Existence. They Haunt my Dreams.

We had our 1st cut review today. Surprisingly, despite a lack of animation so far, my new animatic went down quite well and even converted a lecturer who previously despised my film to actually liking it. Which I did find a bit odd, but in a good way.

So yes, back to Blendshapes. Yet more. And more. Even More. Halp!



What you see right there, are 40+ Blendshapes for the character's lips alone. All emotion and phonemes. I was up from 9AM till 4AM two days in a row to get them to where they are now.

Right now, I'm doing some others which should hopefully be easier as they are just for the eyebrows/forehead and some squash & stretch in the face.

I've taken time off work as holiday so that I can work on my film - so I plan to have Doug ready to animate Sunday/Monday.
