Shrek 2 Facial animation system expresses subtle and complex expressions

2021-10-18 09:27
In the past, CG characters were always hard to escape from stiff movements and false expressions. This can be said to have been greatly improved in "Shrek 2". The "facial animation system" developed by DreamWorks is the hero behind the scenes. Its complex layering system can express the inner emotions conveyed by the characters' facial expressions.
The modeler first creates a skull for the character on the computer, then adds a piece of muscle, and finally skin. After skinning, the facial skin echoes the muscle control handles, allowing the animator to capture the desired expression. Shrek’s muscles have increased a lot compared to the first episode. There are 218 pieces on the face alone, and a controller called "megacontrols" is also applied to make complex expressions such as clenching the teeth and making subtle changes to the entire face. Achieved.

    There are still a lot of ironic fragments, but the sense of humor is not as natural as the first one. Maybe I have too high expectations for it. In fact, it can be four stars.

    "Stop living in fairy tales from now on! She is a princess, and you are just a monster!"...The fairy taught Shrek. But this is a true lie. That's why Cameron's piece of horses enter the lobby and dances with roses. Of course, this is only one part of the chain of banter, from the sea tides of the loyal souls in troubled times to the hanging from the heights of Mission Impossible, the list is endless. https://www.bilibili.com/video/av12190535/
