Here's a sample of an animation that only started out as a test but snowballed into a final render.
I'm helping with beta as I have with EIAS for decades. ;-) They gave me a model from Mixamo that had facial morphs. I was only testing the face so I used an audio snippet.
I set up the voice recognition in MotionBuilder. Then I animated the expressions and eyes. I also added the body motion from Mixamo but edited the fingers and gesture to match the dialog.
I used Maya for the hair and cloth dynamics.
Tomas and I did some extra researching on caching and I picked up a few new tricks with FBX. Everything was sent to David who is a phenomenal render wrangler.
He added lights and adjusted textures. He even did the camera move. I really like the images he saw. It amazed me that this started out as only a test.
Thanks.
