Дополнительный модуль от компании Anzovin Studio
предназначен для создания мимики трехмерного персонажа. С помощью этого
модуля настройка оснастки персонажа выполняется очень быстро. Для
настройки выражения лица The Face Machine использует
вспомогательный лицевой виджет, помогающий быстро настроить мимику.
Интеллектуальная технология распознавания лица персонажа позволяет
программе безошибочно определить верхнюю и нижнюю губы персонажа, а,
следовательно, и выполнить настройку анимации лица. Модуль существенно
экономит время, потраченное на расстановку весов модели.
The Face Machine is Anzovin Studio's new auto-rigging tool for Maya,
but instead of rigging bodies, it rigs faces! Like The Setup Machine,
The Face Machine (or TFM) automatically installs a high-level facial
setup and does intelligent point weighting. TFM supports both box
controls and direct controls that allow the animator to simply grab the
face and deform it into the exact expression desired. Since it's based
on direct deformation, rather then a set of pre-defined blend shapes,
TFM rigs can produce any expression you can imagine with unparalleled
ease. The Face Machine makes rigging a face fast and easy.
Fast Rigging
Like The Setup Machine, The Face Machine uses a simple “face widget” to
rig your character. Just fit it to your mesh and hit rig!
Intelligent Auto-Weighting
TFM’s intelligent weighting technology is capable of automatically
recognizing the difference between an upper lip and a lower lip on most
faces, cutting down manual weight cleanup time to a fraction of what’s
needed for other influence-based face rigs.
Integrated Interface
A special schematic window, embedded in each TFM character, allows you to select facial controls with unparalleled ease.
Direct Control
Just grab your character’s face controls and start posing! The Face
Machine eliminates clumsy blend shape sliders and puts you in control
of your character’s expressions.
Custom Box Controls
With its simple box control creation interface, TFM makes multidimensional sliders a snap to create.
Pose Saving and Recall
TFM allows you to easily save a pose into the characters very own
personal facial pose library, either locally for your own use or on a
server for use by a team of animators. The library interface comes
complete with thumbnails for easy pose referencing.
Auto Deformation Manipulation
The Face Machine's rig gives you control over fine-tuning every aspect
of your character's face. Auto deformation values can be easily
adjusted to allow for even MORE detailed control of your poses.
