LipService

This subject might not be really relevant to my project, but I wanted to share something which looks pretty awesome. A class mate linked it to me.

An Autodesk Maya plug-in , called LipService. It is a friendly and intuitively organized, powerful multi-resolution subdivision surface sculpting, rigging, paint and animation system. Just check the video!

Perhaps it is a little pricey but I can imagine that for the CGI in movies and game trailers, this can be pretty helpfull.

The Project

The aim of the project is to find a solution for the changing topology and rig of a character during a transformation animation real-time in a game.

The transformation animation for this project is a humanoid character model that can transform into a monster character model. To be more specific it is a human character with two forms. The first form is a bipedal werewolf, so the human character can transforms into a bipedal werewolf. The second form is a quadruped werewolf, this means that the bipedal werewolf is able to transform into the quadruped werewolf.

The quadruped werewolf model will have changed topology, with an increase of geometry (fur patches, tail, claws) and a reposed or different rig after the transformation in comparison to the human model.
