MART 420 – 3D Animation and Modeling I

Fall 2008
Thursdays 6:30-9:20 p.m.

Instructor: Paul Naas

Homework assignment #7:

Using the techniques demonstrated in tonight's class, create blend shapes for your character's facial animation. Blinks, eyebrows, mouth shapes; whatever you will need to complete your animation project. Make a complete listing of the blend shapes you'll need before you begin (eyebrows – up, down, rotated out, rotated in, etc).

VERY IMPORTANT – Your blend shapes need to be created using a smoothed version of your character as the base. Everything we do to prep the character from here out is on a smoothed version.

You should also delete the modeling history on your character (Edit>Delete by type>History) before you create copies for your blend shapes.

Bring in your .ma file on the date listed on the main homework page for review.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
