Apr 23, 2010 - amazing facial rig O_O. Just wondering, when you create blendshapes, are u creating a blendshape of the whole model (body+head) or do you have the head as a separate piece of geometry?

crayfish86 Says:

Apr 23, 2010 - @identikal Only a separate head ;)

cpsstudios Says:

Apr 24, 2010 - Crayfish, first off, you're the man! Question, are your corrective shapes based off of separate blend shapes of the head for the expression (if so, how) or are your corrective shapes based off of bone rotation for minor skin deformation tweaks? Can you have corrective shapes (connected with blend shapes) after duplicating the head for blend shapes? Hope that wasn't too confusing...

Apr 24, 2010 - Wow! Great rig! Is there anyway to get a hold of that rig? I would LOVE the chance to animate it!

Apr 26, 2010 - can you explain what exactly is a "fix blend shape"? how do you do that? I totally have no idea what a "fix blend shape" is, google result not available. But I know it's something to fix the "shit" happened when some blend shapes activated with other blend shapes. thanks for your time..

crayfish86 Says:

May 24, 2010 - @eric86wong Yep, so... when you activate a blendshape "A" and a blenshape "B" in the same time, it could have some vertex collisions (ugly looking shapes). a "Fix blendshape" will be a special blendshape which will correct this collision beetween "A" and "B". It will be activated only when "A" and "B" are activated in the same time. You'll need to create a "fix blendshape" for all the collisions

crayfish86 Says:

May 24, 2010 - @west26cali Sorry... this is copyright rig :(

crayfish86 Says:

May 24, 2010 - @cpsstudios Each blend shape is a separate head. Same for the corrective blend shapes. Each time you need to correct a vertex collision between 2 blend shapes, you will need to duplicate a new head to create your corrective blend shape.

west26cali Says:

May 24, 2010 - @crayfish86 No worries. Its a great rig. Looks great and its controls look like it would be really easy to animate. Great stuff!

May 29, 2010 - This is amazing! I've only recently been getting the grasp of what the basics of facial rigging are. But I know that I still have so much to learn... I really wish they taught me some of this while I was in school. At the time I was just happy to be learning what I was learning, I didn't even think about the complexities of face rigs... I hope I could get the chance to pick your brain about this one day!

Jun 2, 2010 - Amazing facial rigging !!! Is there any video of this litte girl in a movie? I want see she in action :) For this guys want learn how make something like that i suggest Digital Tutors Facial Rigging in Maya ;)

cpsstudios Says:

Jun 9, 2010 - @crayfish86 Thanks for taking the time to just respond! I really appreciate that. Just to clarify, how to you make a corrective head from a duplicate used for blendshapes. I'm confused on that one. Also can you use zbrush to create blendshapes and bring 'em into maya? Once again, thanks and you're the man!

cpsstudios Says:

Jun 9, 2010 - @hinoyele Do a search for "Mon Ami Charli"... you'll see the short with her in it. Cheers!

Infernalrobot Says:

Jul 20, 2010 - I've got a quick (potentially stupid) question, what are you using to warp your CV curve version of the girl's face? I got fed up and actually rigged my GUI with joints to get the same effect you're getting. Are you using cluster weights on the curves and parenting them to the controls?
