hehe, well-done. It's not easy to make someone smile in only 18 seconds but you pulled it off beautifully. and your female character has a wonderful "Betty Boop" feel that is quite engaging. You've also got a real hold on facial animation, something I haven't been able to tie into very well as of yet.

thanks for the encouraging words. it is mostly facial animation and body language that i find fun to work on. since i did all the voice acting in this animation, i maybe had a clear idea of how the characters would act, and react. when i record the voices i find it impossible to NOT act the part as well. so if it is a somber old man im trying to channel, i take on the face and the persona of a somber old man too. if it is an "over confident", slightly psychotic chick, i act the part as well. LOL i am starting to confuse myself. but it helps a lot in giving life to the 3d characters.

here is the animation in its entirety

very good !

A very impressive first animation. Your characterizations were extremely well done, I really like the girl and see alot of potential in her. (And I'm not talking about her boobs although it would ruin the character not to have Lara and Croft. ) The two agents were very well done as well.

Sweet job.

thank you for the encouraging words! @peterblood @vidi

Hi,

here is a Facial Animation test I did. I used the DUF Face Key file provided by Reallusion, but also added some additional blendshapes for some visemes to make it look more natural.

After applying the Audio file in iClone I fixed the visemes manually and added some more facial expressions keyframes via the FaceKey Muscle Tab.

Doesn´t look bad at all. I think it can be improved even more, by investing more time in finetuning here and there.

Nicely done. I'm trying to get more animation in my characters faces. Problem is... I can't act!!! So it's hard to teach them how to.
