Gnomon School of Visual Effects

This course focuses on topics related to advanced facial deformations for characters. Special attention is on the realistic human face and its range of motion. Topics include facial anatomy, expression and emotion, lip sync, and setting up intuitive controls for animation. Soft eyes, sticky-lips, and tongue rigs will also be demonstrated. The goal of the class is to develop a working knowledge of the face, its motion and what goes into a believable facial rig.
