Week 8

Week 8

In week eight, I'm continuing working on applying meta rigging to the adult female model. Once completing the female model, I move on to the male model. The character's right hand is having issues because it failed to identify the rigging while the male model was being rigged. I searched YouTube for answers, but I was unable to locate any that solved my issue. The second thing I did was start again by erasing all of the rigging. 

After that, on Tuesday, I was brought into a meeting room where I was given a task by the company to research auto lip sync and find any plugins that support it. I spent three days researching and testing different errors for the auto lip sync plugin and add-ons.

My problem is that all of the add-ons and plugins require a mouth phonemes library chart. I tried testing any plugin software that I came across. It cannot be used, despite my repeated attempts to make it. Additionally, I attempted the bake curve, but it didn't work with the model, possibly because it wasn't created by me. I was at a loss as to how to modify it.

I also voiced my concerns over the prior facial rigging and requested that the meta rigging be used to see if the phonemes chart and plugins could be applied with it. They insisted on using armature rigging, therefore it was rejected. In conclusion, I continue my research on auto lip sync.
