Description A short animation I made to test the facial rig I built for this character . It loops twice to fulfill the 10-second minimum time limit on film submissions. The audio is a clip from Firefly, the eye shader is freeware by Staffan Linder. Built and animated in Maya, rendered with mental ray.

The lip sync is really well done. For the facial expressions and animations are you using morph targets or are you using a rig?

Thanks I used blend shapes (which I believe are equivelant to morph targets) for the facial animation, and the head itself is bound to a rig.

Well done Brian. I still really like the model and textures. I was never any good at animation, but this looks very well done. Keep it up bud.
