Stop Staring: Facial Modeling and Animation Done Right, 2nd Edition
Jason Osipa
ISBN: 0471789208 | 2nd Edition | PDF | May 7, 2007 | 368 pages | 11.55 Mb
Lips, brows, frown lines–they’re all in motion in an expressive face. Stop Staring analyzes facial structures and movements and shows animators how to enliven the faces of their characters. The author, whose own handsome head (in modeled form) graces the cover, is an experienced animator currently working on The Sims.
He writes with a dry wit and a confidence born from experience. The book is friendly but also loaded with content and precise in its directions. “I am by no means God’s gift to animation, but I do pretty well at making a talking head look like a living one, not just a set of gums flapping.” This is not a how-to manual, but a richly detailed guide to achieving the right movements for a given situation and emotion. The companion CD includes all the pieces readers will need in order to work along with the text: models (both realistic and stylized ’toon characters), lip-synching samples, finished Quicktime movies, and even a copy of Maya Personal LE. (More info and some movies can be found at jasonosipa.com.)
Readers move from “Getting to Know the Face,” to synching audio, working on the mouth, eyes, and brows, and rigging. Osipa has created a methodology for facial animation that gets results and makes the process fun. The book can be used as a step-by-step guide for learning new skills or finessing techniques, or as a reference book for troubleshooting specific expressions (for example, “happy eyes,” “frustration,” and “sneers” are all in the index). Although the projects are presented using Maya, the concepts involved pertain to animation in general.
