Update: EP9 Facial Mocap, Game, Poseviewer, Posters
🕑 Added 2023-10-13 08:39:37 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
we hope you had a great week! Let's get right to it:
EP9 Facial Mocap:
A little info about the Facial Mocap Workflow.
- First thing is, we need final Audio. In this case, Marie recorded Temp-Audio for the other Voice Artists to dub, and for me to create the animations before the final Voice-Overs are even here. We will then just replace the audio file.
- Second is to record the initial Facial-Mocap in Maya to a template Character (that one works with the Rig I have). You can see here, that it is very rough and needs polishing.
- Next I transfer that rough animation to the final Character and do a polishing Pass
- Last but not least, I export it to Unreael and check if it looks good. If I need changes, I will go back to Maya and polish even more.
I have a very streamlined workflow for that which allows us to have more dialogue in the Episodes since EP7. Before that, I had to animate the talking and all the nuances on the Face by hand, which was a LOT of work. It's still quite some work to get a final animation, but the time was cut by at least 60-70%. Which is great π
Here is also a VIDEO with audio from that Shot. Please note: not final lighting and still Temp-Audio from Marie!
GAME:
We have several things that we are working on right now.
- New Locomotion: Tests look very good and we also got a first draft for Swimming - Remember: those are not final graphics or animations! We are just building the framework right now. We actually had to re-do the whole system because of issues with the previous one. Was definitely the right thing to do and everything works a lot smoother now. Here is a VIDEO-LINK with a first test.
- Front-End: Menu, Character Selection and so on.
POSE-VIEWER:
Coders working on Cumshot-System update. Once that is out of the way (and some other minor fixes) we can continue with the update.
Commission:
Last but not least I created four commissioned 4k Posters for you to enjoy HEREπ
Have a great weekend!
All the very best,
PM&Team

PM the locomotion test is insane. Any game/ video with this is going to be phenomenal
