Mouth Animations
Added 2017-12-29 23:26:19 +0000 UTCHere's part of what I've been working on this december, and I've still got half of the voicelines to lipsync!
I'm pretty sure most people won't even think of all the effort that went into doing these animations when watching the final flash. Maybe like this, you'll appreciate it more? Or maybe just put focus on flaws in the animation. Depends on the person, I suppose. I'm quite satisfied with the results so far myself, anyway.
It's a half-efficient way of animating mouths anyway, before I just used to skew and lengthen/shorten a few pieces of mouth assets, but here I've got a more expressive lipmovement going on, with the teeth and tongue being a single asset moved around to make it look more consistent. I use a mix of tween-editing and frame-by-frame to make the shadow and highlights follow the lips, but boy do they like to fuck up a lot, hoahoa. Feels like I spend most of the time fixing that up!
Anyway, I hope you all had a great christmas, and will have a great New Year's!
