Theres more to animation then just walking and running, jumping and climbing stairs. Speach is an important part and the best way to show someone is talking is to animate their mouths (obviously). This is where lip sync comes into play.
Now its not as hard as I thought it was going to be but that being said it is still a litlle difficult. In short we take our original model, copy him (so now we have two of the same) and change the copy to make a smile face for example. What we can then do is blend the original into the copy using a slider. The more you move the slider the closer it gets to the changed copy. We have to make lots of these copies. I think I ended up making 20 or so. One for every shape the mouth makes when talking, smile, frown, sad, blinking ect. It is probably a little hard to grasp but tell you what ill make a video and post it below along with the clips I had to do for class.
These first two are only head and mouth movement.
This one is a full body animation with lip sync.
So.. I was having a problem with recording the screen but Ill get that worked out and posted later.
