Class 4 session 01: Facial Video reference

For the next two weeks we'll be refining our existing shot but this time just the face. The setup they have at Animation Mentor is impressive, its something like this:

We have an actual Maya shelf from the school that contains various tools, for this term we have a new tool that replaces the character's face with a new one that has all the controls for it, including a complete face library, it keeps the original animation intact. This sounds very simple to describe and to make it work is even simpler. Adding a complete face rig its just a click away, no need for anything else thanks to the technical artists.

Animation Mentor is putting a lot of effort on the technical side, giving us the right tools so we can animate instead of trouble shoot technical issues. Hats off to the school.

Here is my video reference.
