If this is how it looks raw, it'll look fanastic tweaked.

Keep in mind that since your using an un-realistic face, the facial reactions are gonna need to be slightly over the top.

Great work mate!

[darkxaur]

Do they speak Pootis in whut?

[pkt9091]

Is that Heavy's face on the tongue????????

o_O

[cepomwa]

also why do you used pftrack for?

[xcloudx01]

@cepomwa Track the motion of the markers on my face in several cameras, which gives you a 3d version of the markers that you then use to drive the face

[cepomwa]

@xcloudx01 and then you translate thoses in 3Dsmax as dummies or bones right?

Could you at least give me your assets? Where did you learn to do it? where can i learn to do this cuz I'm searching for a way to do DIY mocap.

I just don't get how I can do this once I recorded myself with pingpong balls...

And I'm sick of animating in the old way...

[cepomwa]

Can you replace PS3eye cameras with simple webcams?

[caqtv]

I'd say keep the face on the tongue. It freaked me out.

[Thunderhead38]

Lips need to close more often...

I feel like his mouth has been numbed.

That's still impressive, though.

[Spreewaldtopf]

meh

[Lukc87]

YaY Boondocks

[CaptainTrollzor]

@Lukc87 Nope, Pulp Fiction...

[Spartan007George]

@Lukc87 boondocks referenced pulp fiction

[castro619a]

@Spartan007George hahahahahha

[CrisRowlands]

This looks rediculously similar to the facial motions used on The Incredibles :P

Thats not a bad thing, it just makes me think of it.

[THEBEEDOOBOP]

Wait, wha-

[TheSabbath98]

Pulp Fiction :D

[DocWolph]

SLJ enunciates very strongly and this did not look it. The whole sequence it was not convincing and just looked strange.

Morphing Phonemes for every basic vocal sound and timing them to the voice track is usually the best way w/ cartoon characters.

You may need a much more detailed Facial rig and/or Mocap data. You might want to look into Kinect software, some animator software designers are working on. Some work really well.

I'm sure you've come along since this one...

[Henbot]

cool but sometimes it seems out of sync, you might want to tweak the audio

[gmoderki]

It's good but in most cases the mouth doesn't close all the way :c

[Cartoonothing]

Hard to believe he eats Sandviches with that mouth.

[dark13death]

u can see the rusian expresion in his pootis face

[bobba515]

his eyes are too wide open

[AbbanEllihud]

the way his bottom lips move makes him look like a velociraptor.

[invadercatty]

this is what it would look like if tf2 was a movie :o

[JamesLikesJam]

It's kinda scary

[umidkagoodname]

this is freakin delicious



[pannfredrikaka]

High poly.

[metrocop1000]

Should have been the demo-man.

[Guatin12]

I Just love it.

[SuperJoF]

Pause at 0:12

there is a face in the Tongue

[basher40445]

@SuperJoF Heavy weapons tongue.

[2Dtube1]

"Describe what Marsellus Wallace looks like!"

The best motion capture in the whole video.

[Jaffersin]

Heavy is best bulldog. Twenty thumbs up and an accidental backhand compliment.

[BritXtreme]

No audio.

Lip read.

Challenge Accepted.

[Yazora]

reminds me of a bulldog XD

[TheButler414]

I think if you moved the lower jaw slightly less and let the upper jaw/rest of the head move a tiny bit more, it would look more realistic.

[polarity1]

@TheButler414 >Upper jaw

wat.

[GigaBowsers]

not the best animation, but i gotta say, this really makes heavy look like samuel l jackson. and that's a good thing.

[ABNSpaceCadet]

Reminds me of the Warcraft 3 speaking animations for some reason.

[Raiown]

Needs a little work



[517342]

This is the very definition of Uncanny Valley.

[Presidentsmartass]

Looks pretty fucking awesome

Subscribed

[MetalgearAWSOME26]

[shreddedbeats]

[GangGarrisonIdeaBase]

[thunderBOOM23]

@GangGarrisonIdeaBase are u stupid or what? read all the fucking comments

[sjl0523]

[EdgarFroez]

[OddworldCrash]

DOES HE LOOK. LIKE A BITCH - what? - BAAM!

[OddworldCrash]

[jayloonar]

[TwoFriendsPlayGames]

[xXJesajaXx]

[TheOctobee]

PAUSE reeeeeallllll close to 0:12, it looks like theres a face on heavy's tongue.0_o

[thunderBOOM23]

[philjt7474]

[Loldudex6]

[AvitalzCartoonz]

HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING.

[towndrunk23]

Hint: You don't want to say what again.

[tzalinae]

Pulp Fiction :)

[MrWafflesthefish]

Heavy is a dog.

[escapeephil]

this rig needs to be able to do 'w'

[RAWowner333]

it seems when he had more than a few words to say in a sentence, it just looks like the lips stop moving :\

[CATBOXMAN]

"One more God-damn time" worked really well there, this is awesome!

[bicoastalskate]

samuel jackson :D

[R3ACT25]

PULP FICTION!

[darkxaur]

They speak Pootis in what?

[Dihgal]

>watched video

>read description

>"Ignore the fact there's a face on his tongue"

>spend time-rest rewatching tongue

[loluntilmypie]

0:14-0:15 was perfect.

[titananimations]

Is this an in game feature of TF2? (I don't own or play it) I just see Demo man animations everywhere. Wonder how one would get a hold of a rig?

[xcloudx01]

@titananimations rigs come with the source sdk

[1pnoe]

@xcloudx01 Hey :) can we be expecting some new videos form you in the weeks to come?

[Hazzard67]

@titananimations You...You don't have TF2? Its free.

[koke76]

Which Software did you use to do facial mocap? great job!!! regards

[TheShadowofLight]

amazing

[MexicanJudge]

lmfao

[TubeofDestiny]

awesome :D

[pivotnaza]

TF2 THE MOVIE : coming soon.. BUT STILL IN DEVELOPMENT XD

[FuremsSolace]

Is there a face on his tongue when he says "what"?

[Crazymecrazy12]

@FuremsSolace yup, his own face xD

[noobeatsyomama]

His teeth and gums should move with his lips a little more.

Overall really cool.

[Deijo181]

lol reminds me of a dog



[DVON2211]

Be afraid, be Very afraid!

[LamentOfInnocence1]

A - Truth

X - Doubt

Y - Lie

[twinklecannon]

Work on the edges of the mouth.

[TheFire259]

WHAT........nothing happened

[Shrapnelization]

If they only made a TF2 movie like this - Don't care if it's underground or considered indie - I WANT ONE!

[ThemOldaBoys]

His lips don't touch much.

[Gumrap]

@xcloudx01 Still they have fixed a lot of things with the Kinect for motion. It's very accurate. And this really didn't look that good to me. Like you said maybe it is just because you were testing it. :P

[baryon15]

how u make this in gmod?????+

[omegasupreme101]

@baryon15 This isn't gmod

[baryon15]

@omegasupreme101 yes, team fotress 2 and half life is made in source (AKA gmod)

[EGWorldOnline]

Meanwhile in solviet russian

English Mother Fucker!

[SuperSoupy]

Cool you've got a blockout nailed through the mocap but you need to go in now and start playing with the keys. Unfortunately there's no 'do the rest of the animation' button so now comes the hard part :-)

That's a great job of getting mocap onto a face rig though for sure!! My I ask how you did this?

[KatyKatetheLeeKaylee]

THAT IS SOOOO COOL!

[nanaicv]

What's the name of the software you used??

[SuperFlameRing]

In the original cartoon the sound was taken from, the character speaking was white!

[WowOmgStudios]

Insert

(Samuel L Jackson [Black] badass:Heavy [White] badass)

racist joke here

[Jaden964]

Your test failed

[dickcheese5150]

look quite shit lip syncing if you lip properly then that would be awsome

[grobsom]

L A Noire

[SteamGrace]

This IS a tasty sandvich!

[EvilBlueWolf]

dude cloud you need to do the doctor weird snake scene

[SouthParkFanv2]

...this seriously reminded me of "The Incredibles"

[exelentdude]

Source engine......

[RealRussianBro]

Srsly why Heavy?

I think Demoman or Soldier is more good for this.

Becouse Demo is black man and Soldier is American.

[xcloudx01]

@RealRussianBro Because this was the first face model that i rigged for motion capture. And this was just to test it out.

[LovePills1992]

@xcloudx01 Then remake it with Demo. It would be awesome.

[MisterZimbabwe]

@RealRussianBro I like how you said the difference between the Soldier and Demoman is that the Demoman is Black and the Soldier is American. Because there is no such thing as a Black American. Being black obviously means you will never be an American. I get what you're sayin', you racist honky motherfucka.

[thunderBOOM23]

@RealRussianBro lawl.hes russian like u respect ur comrades u crapshitsky

[ETWroblox]

wow this must be how they make "Meet The" tf2 videos

[Guyu]

He's black

[spideralexandre2099]

OMG The bottom lip!

[MadNut321]

Stop at 0:12 when heavy opens the mouth you can see heavies face on the toungue

[TheoneandonlyGTA]

@MadNut321 that is creepy...

[ekimr90]

That was actually pretty good for a ghetto mocap rig.

[PikolUploader]

the fuck is with his tongue

[1236sason]

his teeth are so sharp ! xD

[ajle9550]

It's weird how his lips don't move.

[skudzer1985]

hahaha the face on his tongue is hilarious, I know you said to ignore it but it's just so difficult lol

[XanetTech]

hh-h-e's black.

and?

He's bald-

DOES HE LOOK LIKE A BITCH!?

w-what?

***Insert gunshot here***

[Danwolf15]

If you moving the eyes and the head a bit,this gonna be perfectly...But for a speaking test it is very good

[SuperUncleruckus]

ALMMMMOST THERE

[carchintutoriales]

YAY SAY IT MUDA FUCKA and dude awesome use of the pseye :D

[36MonkeysThatFly]

the lips could use some serious articulation

[vShadowWARRIORv]

I dident know heavies lips cauld talk...

[SteamGrace]

B:

[THESWAGGKING131]

Mmmm. I love Pulpfiction beast ass movie!!

[CombineHgrunt]

0:12 his tongue looks kinda as if it had a face

[ThisNameIsNotTaken99]

Needs more demoman :D

[KillerKahuna]

awesome

Looks good

[ZiozoneEmperor]

the quality looks like something taken from a pixar movie, i like it

[coocoobumbum]

0:21 to the end looks the best out of the entire video :C

[SnakePlisskenPMW]

ok lol sorry, asnwered half my questions just by reading the discription. for some reson it failed to present the dis. first time viewing.. anyways.. il sub to yha.

[SnakePlisskenPMW]

hello.. im sure you got this amillion times but.. what methods and means did you use to make these animations... also.. what model formatts did you use here.. what model format is this fortress model or what model format did you use prior incase you may have animated then converted animations. im very intrested in this.. i hope to be able to get such great animation myself theres alot i need to learn though. i am only familar with basic skeltal animation but i no a thing or 2 anywho great job!

[crazyhalo]

can similiar results be achieved with a 360 kinect camera and your setup?

[crazyhalo]

can similiar results be achieved with a 360 kinect camera and your setup?

[BOOM3headshots]

"Used 3 PS3Eye cameras..." Why didin't you just use a Kinect :P It already has 3D motion sensing, in an almost 1:1 ratio with movement, and tracks the tiniest details in movement.

[ZeFruitNazi]

@BOOM3headshots Those things are like $149.99. Times 3. That's a little much.

[MondoMiniman]

POOTIS MOTHAFUCKA DO YOU SPEAK IT!

[Cjayasdassdas]

LOL THAT GUY REMINDS ME ROCK :P

[TheRussellnificent]

I fucking love you.

[MrGreen19900]

His face is shiny :)

[szopoalarcosbal]

kurva szar

[techdragon2010]

Demo would have been perfect for this :D

[geek935]

R.I.P

[Frosty301289]

nice, i bet if you filter out the responses, heavy will look VERY dangerous

[XSecretWorldGamerX]

Notice how heavy's tongue changes to a face and then changes to his normal tongue 10:00

[XxAfirexX]

Who else went to look at the original? lol

[dogchow445]

Press 3 and 9 to fuck her one more god damn time.

[SitOnYouProductions]

@dogchow445 nobody wants to press mother fucking buttons while they're watching a video

[SoItMadeTwiceThename]

Press 3 to fuck her.

[Grapesoflol]

lip sync is off

[Soakedboy]

The "like" part was perfect, and your second "again" was pretty great too.

[Suprem3Gamer]

lol

[BaconDemocracy]

Same as the LA Noire technology.

[prizrak712]

i fapd

[TheSmalHobbit]

I can't wait for this to be used for the Dr. Weird skits that brought me here!

[KoutaDragara]

OK, this looks like it would be very interesting, if not simply fun, to try out (is already formulating ideas for different expressions/lines to try). If only I had the stuff needed for it. LOL

[Tojan360]

it costs 400,000 dollars to face track heavy... for 12 seconds

[SolarKills]

theres a face on his tongue at 0:12

[vShadowWARRIORv]

good graphics but the mouth doesn't fit with the words

[Zohaib1]

in the first 5 seconds it was bad but it got real good after that
