Title: Artwork for singing faces for matrix
Post by: Robocrash on March 01, 2016, 10:46:05 AM

Is there a good source for phonemes(sp?) for animated faces for a matrix?  First year with a pixel tree and I'd love to put a singing face on it.

Thanks
dave

Yeah if you look at the files in the Facebook link there is one I posted called MouthShapes.zip which has most of the phoneme mouth shapes we use.  I got them from the Papagayo source files.  You can overlay them on top of almost any image you want to create the different mouth movements.

Google search for "animation mouth shapes" and you'll get led down a path of many variations. Plenty to keep you busy!
