So i just wanted make music animation from Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You. Time stamp is 3.07 - 3.30



Here is model test:


I couldn't find curly hair model on Smart Gallery so i created it in blender. Here is CyclesX test:


And here is Eevee test (Added a point light to simulate cycles light and changed shader hairBSDF to diffuse + glossy.):


Maybe i can change shader to better alternative for Eevee if i use Eevee.

I think I'm going with Eevee because CyclesX takes longer than Eevee on Cpu (I don't have compatible gpu with Cycles).
And I'm going to add hair after facial animation.

If you ask why are you using CyclesX, because it is faster than old Cycles (There is some time difference despite it is nearly empty scene)

CyclesX:


Cycles:

I was working on viseme and expressions in IClone but when i export viseme settings above 100 it works in IClone but won't work other programs.



Then i changed viseme settings to 100 from 200 and i changed experssions. Now it is looking like that:
Without expresions (only viseme):


Viseme and expressions:


And I exported animation and model then İ imported in Blender. Now it looks like that with hair:


This is the rendered view:


After those viseme and expression things, there is no time left. So I'll continue with making environment.

Finally, environment setup was completed. Actually it was easy but because of my laziness, it took much longer. But now it looks like this:


Character and environment:


Here is compositing, i hope it works when rendered:


When I test a frame render, it takes about 15 seconds for each frame. That means I have 515 frame and it will took about 2 hours and 20 minutes in Eevee rendering. But when I test with CyclesX it takes 50 seconds for each frame so it takes 7 hours and 10 minutes in total. So I will definitely render it with Eevee.

And here is some scene views:

So, render and video editing are completed. Here is results:

And here is the result:
