I have something you can almost call a problem. I´m giving privat-lessions in 3d-graphics, and today I had an interesting client.
He didn´t know anything about 3d, well, he was the kinda guy who got all the programs, but he never really tried them you know.
But the fun thing about this guy, was that he has decided to learn one of the most complex parts of 3d, without knowing the basics. He want´s to be able to record his face, talking or whatever, and then transfer the expressions to a 3d-face. He is so determined to understand this, even if it is impossible for him.
The reason why he wants to learn just this bit, is because he saw some clip from a face robot-tutorial and fell in love. So I felt after our first meeting today, that I hadn´t explained good enough how this works, so he asked me to do some research of how this could be done.
So if I´m right, and this is where I want you to back me up, or explain me wrong,this is how it works:
1- You must have a some kind of “face-suit” that can record tracking data into your computor, from a real face(wrong or right??)
2. you must have a rigged face with a rig that I can apply this data on to(how would this be done?)
is this how it is done? Or how does it work? Would a program like face robot do any difference(I can´t find any information about that program, except from some crappy videos in youtube, does it even exist anymore??)
hope it makes sense!
