This is the rendered output placed over an exterior video. Not perfect but the challenge was to complete the set up from nothing and build it over a 90 minute meeting that was live streamed. Below is a copy of my original event post for an explanation of what I was trying to do. Cooking show – face capture, motion capture, character morph, and lip sync So my wife is 7 months pregnant with our 4th child. This far along means that sleep is quite difficult for her and by extension me. Because of the sleep deprivation and impending deadline of not being able to work on projects at my leisure, I foolheartedly claimed that I could do a demonstration of 3D animation for the local filmmaker group that I am a member of – Nebraska Independent Film Projects (NIFP). In my sleepless haze, I thought to myself wouldn’t it be fun to live stream this crazy idea as if it were a cooking show and have the audience choose the character the actor would morph into as the “secret ingredient”? Why not!!? After all, I have 90 minutes of meeting time to fill! I have managed to convince a few other deranged individuals to go along with this crazy plan and now we are going to live stream this on our NIFP Facebook page on Aug 15th 2019 starting at 6:30pm Central Time. Please join us through our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/nifp.org/ to see if it ends in triumph or tears! I for one am hoping for both! Use FaceGen Artist Pro to create a 3D digital stunt double Capture motions using a Kinect 2 and Brekel Pro Body v2 Convert .BVH file from Brekel Pro Body 2 to aniblock for Genesis 3 figure Capture a sentence or two of dialogue Apply lip sync to the animation using AniLip 2 Apply the chosen secret ingredient morph the character Add an appropriate background to the scene Decide what if any “extra” details (proper Iray lights, blinking and eye movement, and emotional expressions) can be added in the final minutes Begin the render in Daz Studio to have a completed animation within 24 hours
