Leaning towards realism

I've been set the task to get a head modelled, rigged and animated by next Friday, I'm not sure if I can get all that done by then, but I'll damn well give it a shot. I'm following the stop staring method of facial modelling and it seems to be giving some good results and I'm currently working on the eye area.

Photobucket

I'm aiming for a more realistic animation and I've got good reference from a 3d.sk photo set from 3D world magazine. Though I really need some good reference for female singers, I also need to really consider the differences in motion between a male and female performer as well as a multitude of other things. Luckily I kinda get a bit OCD about animation and end up thinking about it a lot. I'm trying to take notice and analyse the way women move, and little details that can create a better performance... though I'm rather reluctant of just staring at women because it's just plain creepy, maybe I can get a mate to help out or just find some suitable video reference.


Other modules:
Creative character animation - I've made a start with animating and I've done an acting video to reference from, it's a fairly interesting performance so here it is.

Getting this thing started

It's about time I started blogging, all the cool kids are doing it.

I'm going to use this blog to keep track of what work I'm doing and keep a note of any work, projects, or other things that crop up. I might even get some interest from people, exciting.
