Re: Source/TF2 Facial Animation
Awesome animation. It felt very similar the the incredibles, especially the teaser and character introductions. I'm only curious to how much of this was actually hand animated, because it's easily possible to create a rig for any game that supports morph targets that allows this much detail. he question is how much easie… -
Re: Source/TF2 Facial Animation
[ QUOTE ] actually source has a very versatile face system. I believe all the expressions and phonemes for lip syncing are done with blended morph targets.

Re: Source/TF2 Facial Animation
(salivate) As excellent as that demo video was, what really gets me stoked is the knowledge that they are going to be updating the Source SDK when Team Fortress 2 comes out. For anyone who hasn't been following Source development, last October Valve made their SDK compatible with the Visual C++ Express compiler. That… -
