I am a Technical Director with strong interests in both tech and art. My life evolves round VFX, photography, software engineering, tools programming and generally anything that looks / sounds cool.
I have done a variety of CG programming, including fluid sims, muscles, soft/rigid bodies, raytracing etc. These knowledge complement the visual works that I do as a TD in VFX.
I was interviewed by The Straits Times in May 2014 for my VFX work in X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Well, it’s hard to explain everything through comments here, but the basic idea is:
- blendshapes for different parts of the face
- smooth binding for the jaw + lower mouth area
- create the face interface (made up of simple NURBS curves) and then set driven keys for the face controllers to activate the corresponding blendshapes
have u ever try Face robot . I m doing a project related to this. It will be published soon.
Nope I have not tried it but I’ve seen demos and it looks really cool. Looking forward to your project!
