I'm currently working on a final year project that will focus on facial animation. One of the key areas that I have been interested in is using a muscle simulation to be able to achieve realistic results and being able to prove the benfits of this system against just using blendshapes. e.g. Preserving volume in models.
From looking around the site and online there is a distinct lack of examples on using this plugin for this purpose and have only found one Ziva LIVE demo that touched on how this could be used for facial animation.
So some of the questions I have are:
- Is this plugin right for my use case? If not what other solutions would you recommend to achieve these results?
-If so-
- Can this plugin be learnt within a 4 month time frame and end with good results?
Thanks,
Aaron
