Assignment 7 & 7a: Early speech model

24 03 2009

For the final facial animation, I am thinking of using dialogue something along these lines:

(In answer to ‘What happened to your body?’): Oh….well, I was a magician’s assistant.  Y’know that trick where they saw a woman in half?  …Er.    He missed.

Images of early model: The mouth especially needs to be redone, as the shape is good, but the geometry isn’t quite right for ideal speech.  The nose looks okay in profile/quarter view, but in full face seems overly wide or flat…which is probably a result of not having it right in the reference itself.  There are also a few odd polygons around the eyes and sides of face that need fixing, but some will be altered/hidden by the addition of ears and hair and may not matter too much.
