Character facial animation! Featuring dialogue from the Warcraft 3 Dryad unit.

The project was really fun! This animation actually features the use of both rigged joints and blend shapes in the shape editor to create phonemes and general movements. Blend shapes would establish the initial phonemes, and the joints would be used to create minor adjustments in each frame. Also, blinking was created through use of a sequenced texture with individual textures for eyes open, eyes half-closed, eyes fully closed, as well as a few alterations that were not used in this project for looking in separate directions or for creating certain emotions. Looking forward to the next project!
