Daily Rigging Life #2

 Facial rig:

- Simplicity is the key. A key joint on key component, and pre-bind matrix + hand-sculpted blendshapes. Then how do we capture accurate blendshapes? This is very difficult, should take note.

The first thing that comes to mind is that, bind a duplicate of the geometry, skin it, and deform it. Then once you reach the optimal deformation, move the individual joints and duplicate the deformed mesh. Since they are all sharing the same vertex IDs, it should be easy breezy

- For most accurate deformation, sculpted blendshapes is the best. Nuff said. Blending between puffed cheek from smile expression to eye squeeze, flawless.

Attitude:

- Determine. Determine. Don't forget where you wanna go. Work hard for it. This is part of the process, don't doubt it. 
- Focus. Focus and focus more.
- Take some time to rest, take more time to invest.
