As the only book of its kind to provide current, focused, practical, detailed, and thorough information on the difficult art of facial animation, this new edition takes a variety of models from conception and modelling to rigging and animation.
Fully updated for today's trends and techniques, it includes coverage of new tools and software that have emerged since the previous edition. It features new squash-and-stretch deformation and blend extraction techniques, more models, and revised, professional-caliber art. The CD-ROM includes the Maya Personal Learning Edition, models, textures, tools, lip-synch samples, and completed animations.
Foreword by celebrity animator Jason Schleifer, whose credits include Gollum in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
