Re: Facial Animation For Games!
Thanks for the link, Cheese, I've already read all that stuff though Now that I think about it, do companies care much for how a person poses a character's face for their portfolio? It just seems like morph targets are eisier to do since you just move the verts around, where as it takes more know-how to set up a facial rig… -

No standard really AFAIK, though XSI generally wins in the animation dept. Maya and Max are more widely used by game developers, and they have similar rigging controls available in each, they're both fairly robust. -
Facial Animation For Games!

Re: Facial Animation For Games!

Another one i think is called character creation in maya. The modeling portion is ass,but the face rig is pretty nice. Our engine has a bone… -
Re: Facial Animation For Games!
we use maya at work. I used to hate it because I was brought up on max, but I love maya now far more than max. I think max was just easier to learn for me. Maya is a lot more under the hood kind of stuff. But it really doesnt matter what program you use, whatever works for you and gets the job done I would think
