Mixamo character animation makes it easy. You could photogram your own face, drop it onto the body of a Fuse character and then add mocap data in Mixamo. It would have been overkill here but exciting times ahead if fuse could also sync into photogrammetry techniques too. In theory there’s no reason why we couldn’t have pre-modelled the footballer’s faces thus giving us an extra level of detail to create our hand-drawn animations from. It will be exciting to see Mixamo and the link with Fuse software develop. It’s obvious to see here how it was used on this animation.įor this Bundesliga winners video, we created a generic footballer character in Adobe Fuse and uploaded them to Mixamo. We then use the animatic to help get sign off from clients before launching into hand drawn animation.
Mixamo is so quick to use we’ve been using it to create animatics too. We downloaded the newly rigged characters from Mixamo as FBX files and pasted them back into our scene files. Would love to hear some thoughts if anyone is regularly using these systems in Cinema.Once uploaded there’s so much mocap data to get your hands on. A typical example of what I might need to create is a cartoonish CG animal with facial expressions, jiggly flesh and fur dynamics. Some of the excitement around IBC revolves around the anticipation of a new Cinema 4D release. I have beginner-level Houdini knowledge, would I be better off learning to do it in there? Might be overkill for my current work (fast turnaround commercial stuff). Cinema 4D SeptemC4D R23 Smooth Moves Watch on Animation, Character and UV Workflows, Magic Bullet Looks Integration and New Scene Nodes System Among the Many New Features. I have a couple weeks free and I want to learn as much as I can about the topic, but if C4D is just no good for characters then I don’t wanna waste my time. I know there have been improvements recently to the rigging system, and I’m basically wondering how good the overall toolset is now? Almost nothing about the muscle system and how it works with skin and joints. Other than what’s in the manual, the only C4D based resources I can find are 5-7 year old tutorials.
I need to start learning this stuff though because not knowing it is costing me too many jobs. Until now I’ve avoided doing anything related to character animation.
