What You Will Learn
Blend Shapes are modified versions of geometry (facial geometry in this case) that illustrate a particular muscle movement or facial expression
Learn to move Blend Shapes back and forth between the two programs
Software required Maya 2015, Mudbox 2015
There are different ways for achieving these expressions, and one of these is to use Blend Shapes
There are lots of ways to create these shapes and Mudbox is one that works very well
We can then animate transitions between these shapes to get facial animation
We'll create a library of smaller shapes and then combine those into an overall expression
We'll end this Maya and Mudbox training by exploring the use of the Pose tools in creating these shapes and learn to set up Blend Shapes made of multiple objects
We'll learn to create shapes from scratch using Sculpt Layers and Sculpt Layer Groups
When creating characters for animation, facial expressions can be an important part of the performance
