Afterward, we will take all of the expressions sculpted in Zbrush and implement them to the face rig. Face deformations will be made by shape keys driven by the bones. Moreover, we will use high detail information made in Zbrush to create Dynamic Wrinkle System in Eevee (it works in Cycles as well).
Then I’ll show you how to make your animation work way more convenient, by creating puppeteering systems for a more intuitive animating process.
In the end, I’ll present to you, how to prepare your rig for the export to Unreal Engine. And how to set up the Dynamic Wrinkle system in it as well.
I hope you’ll find it useful and I wish you a good day!
What’s inside?:
Video Tutorials:

• • 01_Introduction- Small introduction, Facial Action Coding system, and tips on organizing work.

• • 02-08_ShapeKeysSculpting- In this series of 7 videos, we will go through the process of sculpting all the necessary shape keys/blend shapes/morph targets for the rig.

• • 09_BasicBoneRigging- Introduction to basic bone rigging.

• • 10-11_ImportingShapeKeys- Two videos dedicated to importing shape keys and implementing them to your rig (there’s a lot of them :D).

• • 12_CorrectioveShapeKeys- I’ll show you how to sculpt corrective shape keys, to fix some of the deformations made by the bones.

• • 13_BonesAndDriversSetup- Here we will make shape keys to be driven by the bones.

• • 14_WrinkleMapPreparation- We will prepare all the necessary wrinkle maps in photoshop.

• • 15_VisualControlersSetup- I’ll show you how to create handy visual controllers, helpful in controlling things like letter shape keys or full expressions.

• • 16_EeveeDynamicWrinkleSystem- In this video, I’ll show you how to create the dynamic wrinkle system in Blender.

• • 17_EyesShapeKeysAndFacialHair- I’ll teach you some tips that will make eyes animation look way more natural, and how to manage facial hair in the rig.

• • 18_FaceRigPuppeteeringSystem- Here we will create handy puppeteering systems that will make your animation work way more convenient.

• • 19_FaceRigPreparation- I’ll explain to you how to prepare your rig to export to Unreal Engine in order to make it painless and stress-free.

• • 20_UnrealDynamicWrinkleSystem- In the last video we will create the same dynamic wrinkle system but in Unreal Engine.

Files

• • Blend file including the final scene with the mesh, rig, dynamic wrinkle system, light setup.

• • Textures: All the maps for Dynamic Wrinkle system, hair textures, shirt textures, mouth textures. (There are no face textures)

Blender Create 20 Objects Exercise Class by Joe Baily — SkillShare — Free download
Welcome to this special exercise class for learning 3D modelling using Blender. This class is designed for absolutely beginners who want to begin creating new objects as they learn the various tools that Blender uses. It is an ideal class for those who would rather not spend three plus hours on learning how to move in 3D space and where to find all the tools that you may or may not want to use as we dive straight in with the creation of different objects using tools and modifiers alike.
The class is divided up into 4 smaller sections of around 5 lectures each, not including the 1st and last lectures of the class. Each section focuses on a different ”starting point’ of 3D modelling. In the 1st section the focus is on learning how to manipulate the default cube into different shapes using tools and modifiers.
In the 2nd section we expand to using over primitive objects as the base for new creations using the likes of the UV sphere, Cylinder and Plane objects.
In the 3rd section we expand even further to using different object types to the standard mesh object. We create objects using paths, beziers, volumes and text objects.
In the 4th section we introduce the standard workflow of creating variations from a base asset, like a table. We use the base asset to create variations of an object using tools, modifiers, reference images and materials.
While this class is recommended to absolute beginners, it is advised that you are at least comfortable with moving around in 3D space using Blender.
We hope that you enjoy the class and learn a great deal.
