Basic of lip sync

-->

Wide/Narrow and Open/Closed analysis for essential of lip sync

why : narrow - wide 

are  : no change

you  : narrow

here : narrow -wide-narrow

why  : closed-open-closed

are   : closed-open-closed

you  :closed-open-closed

here  :closed-open-closed

these are analysis will be the foundation ,before we make a complex animation

reference for lip sync

Before you start modelling u must

1. get a reference image , get a reference face image

2. Get a good reference image

3. after model a mouth , now modell a nose

4, snap a nose and a mouth 

Modelling human face part 3 (snap nose and mouth)

-->

1.  we have to snap nose to the mouth

click the nose then shift select the mouth and choose mesh on upper menu, mesh --> combine

and then select the vertex of nose and vertex of mouth will u merge

we can merge that 2 vertices  on edit mesh an choose merge

and here is result after we merge that we need.. and walla ..done.. we can  make mouth and nose easily

Modelling human face part 2 (modelling a nose)

-->

1. We make nose from a plane.. and insert edge tool and change edge like this

2. With move tool ,in the center edge move to front , and change like this.. just  like this

3. and if we want increase a edge on upper menu choose edit mesh --> insert edge tool

4. and this is the important thing.. make a hole of nose and let picture talks

we use insert edge tools, snap tools, move tool , and rotate tools

and this is the nose

Modelling human face part 3 (snap nose and mouth)

Modelling human face part 1 (modelling a mouth)

If you want to learn about modelling face and animate face , i recommend to you to learn "STOP STARING" BOOK

in this tutorial
First thing we model a mouth ,
it's just topology , u can make this for your own model,, and modify a little to make like your own model

then increase the edge like this picture

increase the edge to make a upper lips 

in the upper lips insert edge tool to that blue point .. and move to inside

rendering outdoor lighting in autodesk maya

-first open your scene with autodesk maya

-second go to window --> rendering editor --> Render Setting --> . Render using Mental ray
upper tab there is common , passes, Features, Quality, Indirect Lighting, Options
Open Quality tab , click Quality Presets choose Production

- Third then we make a sunlight. to make sunlight go to create-->Light-->Directional Light

-Fourth In the attribute editor of Directional Light scroll down and find Raytrace Shadow Attributes under the 'Shadows' section. and set like this picture

utes under the 'Shadows' section.





-Fifth and set final gather like this picture

-sixth
and walla , click Render.. u will see ur scene is beautiful

tutorial skin material in maya with photoshop

IF we will give our model with human skin texture
we need
skin sss color map.jpg
skin sss color epidermal map.jpg
skin sss color subdermal map.jpg
skin sss color specular map.jpg
skin sss color bump map.jpg

i don't make color map tutorial, because this is default, this is material u can make it from your own skin or your friend'skin

skin sss color epidermal map
hue/saturation
hue =0
saturation =-39
and save it to skin_epidermal_map

skin sss color subdermal map
make a shape on eyebrow or make a selection of eyebrow
-click color balance
set midtones checklist preserve luminosity
click on right "add layer mask to selection"
-don't forget to make a selection of eyebrow
click brightness/Contrast
Brightness  -47
Contrast  +48
click on right "add layer mask to selection"
-click hue/saturation
Hue =0
saturation = +37
Lightness = 0
ok
and save it to skin_subdermal_map


skin sss color specular
convert the image to grayscale
click image -->mode --> grayscale
choose brightness/contrast
brightness = -150
contrast = +58
choose brightness/contrast again

brightness = -91
contrast = -2
click brush  master diameter = 60px hardness 2%  opacity 41 % flow 42%
set color to white
paint like this

set layer 2 opacity 10 %
and save it to skin_spc_map


and here is the setting

facial rigging in maya (part 2)

1.  PARENTING THE MODEL TO HEADCONTROL (nurbs)

First time we must parenting headcontrol to hair.. and eyeGRP. and teeth up also teeth down

Fisrst select headcontrol and shift select hair and press P

second select eyeleft and shift select eyeright then press ctrl+G or group it.. rename the group -->eyeGRP

select headcontrol and shift select eyeGRP and press P

third select headcontrol and shift select upper teeth and press P

fourth select headcontrol and shift select down teeth and press P

then if we select headcontrol your scene of 3D must be like this picture

2. TESTING THE RIGGING

if we change the number of jawX in headcontrol attribute must be like this

3. TESTING THE RIGGING WITH ROTATE THE HEADCONTROL (nurbs)

and if we rotate this nurbs .. so we can see like this picture

sample RGB values for sunlight

here is the setting values for sunlight


sunrise or sunset R= 182, G =126, B= 91

sun at noon R = 192 , G = 191 , B = 173

Cloudy R = 189 , G=190, B=192

facial rigging in maya (part 1)

facial rigging in maya (part 1)

-->

1. first time choose
animation tab in the left menu
choose skin ..
klik joint tool 
grab that from the neck to base head like this picture

rename that 3 point of joint tool with NECK, HEAD,and HEADTOP

so in the future we can manage that

2. make another joint tool to move the jaw

3. then klik skin menu on top

choose ikhandle

klik that ikhandle from neck (jointTool) to head(jointool)

4. make a nurb circle to control the neck

freeze transformation and delete by type ->history

rename that nurbs circle to headcontrol

click nurbs and shift click to Head (joint tool) choose constraint and chose orient menu.. in the constraint orient menu ..checklist the maintain offset then add

so you can move that ikhandle with nurbs that we rename it (headcontrol)

if you confused feel free to contact me in twitter

5. in the headcontol (nurbs) make a new 3 attribute

    First click the headcontrol and choose modify menu on top -->then click add attribute

    second follow this pic

   then choose add

in the menu of headcontrol make sure there is 3 new attribute jawX, jawY,jawZ

6. then click window menu on top -->general editor --> connection editor

click headcontrol then in the connection editor click reload left scroll down to find jawX, jawY,jawZ

then click jaw(joint tool) then in the connection editor click reload right scrool down to find rotate x, rotate y, rotate z

in the connection editor click jawX then click Rotate X

click jawY then click Rotate Y

click jawZ then click Rotate Z

then click close.. nothing happen ... but if you change the number of jawX,jawY,jawZ in headcontrol

u can see that Jaw (joint tool) can rotate.

and this is it... this is the initial setting to facial rigging..
