![]() But by automating quite a significant portion of the lipsync process, artists need to just fine-tune the pretty impressive results this process gives. This is a smart move for Softimage as previously, Face Robot required motion capture techniques to effectively use the facial rigs. The next major feature for character animators is the automatic lipsyncing feature in Face Robot. Subtle improvements such as now being able to apply ICE operators on nulls help a lot in not being locked into specific objects, as the ICE instructions can now live external to an object, allowing greater flexibility in swapping objects. ![]() There are Deformation Effects, Hull Deformers, Verlet Integration and Strand Dynamics. Granted, the creation of more complex rigs could evade the non-technical artists for now, but as a repository of custom ICE compounds proliferates online, everyone will benefit.īesides rigs, standard operators, such as constraints, now have an ICE equivalent and a wealth of ICE compounds - which one used to have to find online - have now been included as part of the package. But now it’s possible to rig models entirely using the ICE interface, thus making the possible transfer of rigs between different models incredibly simple. Previously a sub-section of kinematics could be unlocked but, being officially unsupported, it was prone to crashes and was not reliable. One of the biggest new features is the inclusion of ICE kinematics. ![]() It’s nice to see that considering it has only been six months since the past Softimage release, there is quite a spate of new tools and enhancements added into this year’s version. It’s that time of year again when we artists are rewarded with an update to the preceding year’s software package and we expectantly wait to find out what new improvements have been made and which bugs have been eliminated.
