It’s been a while since I’ve made a short and sweet animated gif. And yes this animation test come with a purpose. Same with the render I linked above, I wanted to try out animating the revised mouth rig from a fresh start to get a feel for how it works. And while I’m at it, keep practicing weight-shifting based animation. I personally really love animating like that too, it’s so satisfying to pull off once it looks just right. This animation also took less than 24 hours to put together. Feels good to get animations done like this again.
Also random fun fact, there are a total of 6 eye darts, and 3 instances of the iris and pupil changing size in this animation.
