THE END

When I see the result, I feel character design not a very big problem to me. If compare to facial expression, quite difficult to me. For me, I think I need to explore and study more about facial expressions.

Based on my experiment, eye and mouth moving still ok but the bad thing is face muscle. I din’t move my face muscle when turn to another expression like happy, sad, angry, frown and surprised. 

When I start doing my facial expression, everything is moving smooth. This is because I follow up the tutorial. 

After blind skin, I use component editor to control the vertex. All my vertex run off and make my whole modelling look weird. So, I look for the solution and find out that I forgot to open UV. Plus, freeze transform and delete history before start rigging.

Actually I very interested in drawing and rigging. Rigging actually quite fun and enjoyable to me. Character design also one of my intertest. Character design is the beginning part in job so I am the one who set up the character of  movie or animation. Everyone follow my design to develop but also the stressful job too. 

Future in study, I think I will analyize more about rigging part not just using blend shape in maya.

Advice

No idea want to write what....so i share my experience , advice and problem that i faced when i doing facial expression...

First i follow the tutorial to do my facial expression.. Then i put joint and blind skin , i need to use component editor to control smooth skins...After i done , i moved the controller....All my vertex run off , i have no idea about this...The reason is i forgot to open uv~ After UV opened , everything is solved..

One more important thing is must ' freeze transform ' and ' delete history ' to ur modelling before you start rigging...

I use blend shape to do my expression...keep the original facial and duplicate from it~  Use the copies to do others facial like ' happy ' ' angry ' ' sad ' 'frown' etc... Select all facial that you do and select original facial then go create deformers ' blend shape ' ...

I think blend shape is the most easy for learning...if  want to do more advanced , also can look for tutorial from website...

STRESS

After i done the show reel , i realize that i forgot to do the face's muscle moving when change to another expression. During class , i show my 1minute show reel to lecturer.. Lecturer also tell me that i din't do the face's muscle moving. Opps...paiseh~~

The feedback about my 1minute show reel was right and ok.. just need to add on the face's muscle moving and do a short video about facial expression testing...

Next week need to submit the video , proposal and report...so , must complete these three assignment~~ And write the blog...Blog very important to us because blog got 10% mark = = so write something better than write nothing~

Today class assignment is learning and hearing the environment music...is a fun and enjoy assignment because can go out and drawing~ In this lesson , i learn some basic about music and figure the sound...At least it can help in future~~
