3D Face Animation Test by Daniel Szalko - Maya - (Sting - Roxanne 2003. L.A.)

[Kelleygarret]

One of the best, I put this under the Withnail & I animation

[enrie424]

Oh fuck oh fuck ohhh fuckkk...amazing..:) i really got taken back with this animation...\m/

[tyu632]

pixar is better

[TireddogToshi]

this is amazing !!



[Cadam92]

very nice work! just make the head flow just that bit more with a second action by following back. and there is a trick to making believable head movements, keep the head moving. the lip sync is amazing though! great job!

[redbull101991]

Really nice work. It's so close to human that the little nuances and differences make it really scary xD It feels almost like looking at a human but there's still something unnatural that makes it freaky.

[kishir24]

@redbull101991 it's called the "silicone valley" :D

[TheAnipotimus]

@kishir24

I think what you're referring to is the 'Uncanny Valley'.

[ecigaddict]

Pretty well-time animation here. You could have timed the eyebrow movements and blinks together though.. would have been a lot more convincing.

[WinterRenes]

pretty cool, I like how you show the grid :)

[panyidavid]

Gratulálok! Nagyon jó!

[GeekinsteinTutorials]

WOW, impressive, showed emotion, great sync, good model. Amazing.

[Blankchilde88]

Jesus, this is just beautiful. Extraordinarily, elegant, jaw dropping and poetic. I watched this like 3 times in a row.

[Ravenchild12]

This is excellent work. :)

[anarcheril]

Dude your stuff is amazing, but you should really consider normal mapping your characters, your modeling and animation is spot on, its fantastic really, but you would literally have photo realism if you added normal maps to your stuff :)

[FrapsYou]

I though he was looking through the scope of a sniper lol, but llaaaalalaaa...

[Canekampar]

Fucking Experience!

[Ahm3dM]

Simply wow, Keep up the good work

[murtzia]

I Hate you, this video is amazing. I thought I knew anything about 3D, but you show me I was wrong.

Great job follow like this!

[munks4ever]

wow this is awsome

[zurechtweiser]

Gestures are subtle unlike shown here.

[smile4everbuds]

thats amazing, great job!

[ledzeprulz]

cole mcgrath LOL

[nejifade1]

what program do you use

[SauronsEye]

Outstanding.

[borjan121]

Make a tutorial

[Taela28]

Awesome!

[LimitedWard]

It's really good, but I think it could use a little more movement near the sides and back of the head. The human face is so dynamic and contains so many muscles that it's not easy to replicate on a computer. Great job so far though :D

[gamermamer]

best video on youtube about facial rigging and animaition you r the best me till now i cant model a good character every time i model the body then i go to head and i miss ahhhh i hate modeling head :D nice job

[xcreotiff]

Супер получилось

[girummakiato]

omg this is awesome ..keep goin dan your job is really amazin

[marcelkade]

His face reminds me of Les Stroud^^ Very nice animation and modelling!

[jiffrey32]

woah that was really good!

[bluedragon94]

Fantastic job Daniel.

[kamputis]

Why is he singing into a dildo?

[varezvarez]

@kamputis It is for people like you. Enjoy!

[bluedragon94]

@kamputis That's funny. He spent a lot of time modeling and animating the head and said to hell with the mic! I don't blame him if that's the case!

[sickgeeza]

you did this with maya only? it look amazing truly.

[sxxoos]

Very nice video too bad I do not know how to do it

[darknkreepy]

nice emotion with your keyframing. it is very bezier like, yet it still is very enjoyable.

[devil12345678912345]

this is spectaculary!! wow respect

[sephirrothvt]

wao! buddy im rookie in blender but youre an artist i need help with adding the deformation if u could make a tuto i think the whole blender community of blender will appreciate it .

[lizabril06]

wao!!!

[acordu]

Best ever? I guess you havnt seen alot of animations. I would say add more secondary motion. You gotta make him have a soul of his own. The Guy who made Pigeon Impossible talks about this in his blog when he was animating but giving life to the character. Add movement to the eyes other than blinks as well as slight movement in the scalp and ears.

[diegoguitar2]

nice !

[coringajoker100]

very very very very very good !!!!!!!!!!!

[Safegold008]

Ez annyira jó! Ez annyir tökéletes! Hát imádom! :D

[3Dstrong]

Perfect!!

[james030685]

must have watched this 20 times, i actually feel sorry for the head, as if it knows its an animation, i dont know, but it is amazing! gonna watch it once more (tonight)

[dgonchild]

I know how to model, rig and animate characters, but I've never learned how to animate their faces. Hope I can do it this well some day, great job. I must say, though, at first I thought the microphone was a penis.

[BeatOfHungary]

from hungary?

[simmiist]

Wow warum schafft er das so gut fas könnte echt in vielen spielen gemacht werden sähe Hammer aus

[1omgz1]

oh i thought he was singing into a sniper scope before he made the kill

[DiegoArmandoJimenez]

You rock man, you're awesome

[Jskills4ever]

this is great bro

[Uldebass]

bravo bravissimo

[lokuazaz]

What software is used to do this animation,please?

[Quikie93]

@lokuazaz since it says maya in the TAGS iam gonna go with that!

[DrShaym]

He's got some thin lips.

[Arunictrichloride]

if you modeled it, it's freakin awesome. As for animation, it could use some smoothing

[RHLFD1]

i like the version of this music

name plz?

[DanielSzalko]

@RHLFD1 exact name in the title

[TheLizardLover]

That is the best head animation I have ever seen! That's incredible! Well done! That is a fantasic job!

[whydontyouremember]

@TheLizardLover errr if you say so then you mustve seen about.... 1 animation... the model is nice though!

[TheLizardLover]

@TheLizardLover I ment the head itself is awesome! I haven`t seen a head like this before.

[lalnaab]

@TheLizardLover

rofl

[MrPhienox]

@TheLizardLover to say the least!

[666Minde]

@TheLizardLover That means you haven't seen much...

[RyleySwanFilms]

AMAZING

how did you do the lipsync?

[AlexieStukov666]

this is very good, i'm trying to learn how to model and animate characters and stuff but i haven't had the time to do so. this stuff inspires me to get back to it.

[masacis]

u mad?

[tasoganedude]

Whoa! That's a lot of vertices.

[freddyintrouble]

dude this is amazing really realistic

[IncrediblyGenius]

Where did you learn to use Maya?

[judiette]

Absolutely amazing job!

[lukassstyyy]

NIce job. Love the black and withe.

[BeanznMash]

omg! wow amazing

[KuperParker]

so gay

[freddyintrouble]

@KuperParker try doing it asshole

[KuperParker]

@freddyintrouble

Why ? iam not a fucking gay, idiot

[minirew]

@KuperParker wow u definitely dont know how to appreciate art :P

[KuperParker]

@minirew Its not art, its gay-shit

[varezvarez]

@KuperParker At first try to put something together.

Spelling for beginners: Your gmod stuff has failed.

[minirew]

@KuperParker okay, then u try a do something better than this!

[KuperParker]

@minirew okey, but then tell me why should i do something better? u mad?

[minirew]

@KuperParker no im not mad its just ur not looking at how hard it is to do something like this :P ur just looking at the idea

[KuperParker]

@minirew How hard doing what? Gay-face? This gay looks just like gay, what the hell, man. It is so hard to draw an ape gay? allright then, I dont give a fuck.

[minirew]

@KuperParker no it is not that "he is gay" its that it is difficult to do an animation this detailed, and why are u such a homophobe :P

[KuperParker]

@minirew no is not that "that it is difficult to do gay-animation" he is just gay, take it easy, bro.

[Zetioun04]

@KuperParker fucking troll

[minirew]

@Zetioun04 I agree

[KuperParker]

@Zetioun04 wut

[kaleemuiit]

Very nice.......

[Mixamo3DAnimation]

I like the expression on his face, one suggestion would be to avoid the extra smooth eyebrow animation. The eyes and the emotion is really well captured though, kudos!

[cymps]

beautiful!

[vitaliyplay]

végre egy igazi magyar produkció :)

[komyfly]

Whoa, echt unglaublich...alle Daumen hoch o.O

öh..awesome-very cool^^

[GDPBilal]

hi, Excellent job.but the neck movement was a bit limited otherwise too good.

[MrCatalytic]

The model is great, and your eye animations are rather expressive. The brows seem to have a mind of their own at times though.The lips during the singing could use some work. The subtle lip quiver wasn't subtle. However, the small mouth/lower animation ~ 23sec was incredibly realistic. If the rest of the lip animation had that kind of realism, you would have something rather special. Keep up the good work!

[zeroburton]

Doesn't seem like he is making an effort on the higher pitch. I would ad more movement there. Other than that, amazing job dude!

[iTzSk1ppy]

Woah. Daniel, you are my inspiration :] I started modelling not alot time ago, after i was ur videos. and this.. This is just epic.

[supersw1000]

That's great! Very great!

[RatmanXX]

This is so nice! Great model, and animation. I wish I could make

similar to this...

[karlosx8]

you sir, have got a career set for you. it's called anything to do with graphics

[JuniorProducer1996]

more facial movement, but otherwise great

[kamaalomoro]

great stuff, 3 thumbs up

[marcusmessias102030]

lindo lindo lindo

[Erilis666]

very nice

[frozenlicks]

he looks like Dominic Monaghan.....

[RatmanXX]

@frozenlicks Really! He could sing "You All Everybody" XD

[drcool41]

amazing modeling! The realism of that face is almost creepy

[FrozenCore94]

It's Cool ... But the Jaw And Head Movments Look Some What robotic ... :P

I'm Still A Noob So I Dunno how to fix it

As For Lip sync ... I think It's pretty Awesome :D

[1lastrun]

how long would this take to do

[LemonSector]

Excellent.

I would give you 5 stars but they give me this stupid Like button.

It mustve been pretty hard rigging that face.

[fawd14]

This is fantastic! Do you know of a tutorial showing roughly how you did this animation? I would totally appreciate it.

[GelFeatherweight]

How many takes did you do in the mirror before sending this comment off? Or did you free-style it? Your comments and your beats match. Honestly, I'm ending this transmission.

Ps...Shit talking online from a Clear Broadband booth in the mall is a FAIL. Instantly.

[doublesob]

beutiful

[superhigh100]

this amzing, did u do motion track?

[kshitoperro]

EXELENT"!!!

[bob7789ful]

very gd 5 star

[ZayanuZaroc]

Is it just me or does the movement at 0:24 look slightly unhuman. Take no offense though, I wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't for all the other things being so awesome! Great work!

[shrint]

@ZayanuZaroc let's see you do this. as someone who's been working with maya for the past couple months now, my jaw was hanging open this whole video... so amazing

[elveto88]

try reading about facial micro expressions

[GelFeatherweight]

Yeah, that's true, but it's also a good idea to know when to just compliment. If I took it as offensive, I'm sure someone else may have.

In REAL life, when you're standing in front of someone's work in front of them, it'd be considered a little rude to do that. Internet makes people BOLD.

[23Ian1]

Really really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[polz91]

so good!!!

[tieske95]

nice!!!

[hazemmac]

a7a

[noirtotoro]

Amazing!

[degemeny]

awsome....

[4kx]

Everything ok but head animation have something to wish. Human head is all the time in the moving. on your animation the head have smooth move and it stopped at moments where in the real head the move is uneven/ irregular. of course, no in sleep :D

And if you put the some bump on this it would be looks better. 4/5

[GelFeatherweight]

who asked you to critique?

[4kx]

Why, it hurt?

[GelFeatherweight]

He did a good ass job on that head. Anyone who can model THAT well prolly doesn't need to catch a course from "4kx".

Are you a bot or something?

[4kx]

I never said his model is wrong:) I say - is great. But "modeling" and "animation" are two different concepts. So, if I commented his animation, doesn't mean that his model also.

I often check my mail. ;p

[Joroshira]

@GelFeatherweight

He doesn't need permission or a invitation to critique something. Besides, he tried to help.

This video is available to the public, so anyone is allowed to say what they wish about it.

[lerimeur]

Good job !

[elrichialbo2]

GREAT!

[krausean]

Awesome man!!! Hope to be this good one day! I have been using 3ds max for a few years. Just started using Maya. It's a whole different ball game.

Thanks for sharing this fantastic video! You're a true inspiration

[lioxait]

lol nice one!

[rapnrocknroll]

awesome man..that's insane..how did u do that ?

[hardchan]

OMG SO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[dakotasmurf]

great

[URUTUMNAGO]

Great work.... thanks for sharing!

[Freodeo]

one word = BADASS

[TheDonBurroni]

top notch!

[yellowfellow]

whats so great about this?

im sure whoever did this put alot of time in effort into making this but there are motion capture projects that are much more advanced then this

they're beginning to make games and programs that automatically capture facial and body movements

and sooner or later rendering will probably automatic too

[smoothjamskillmoure]

@yellowfellow really what programs are you talking about?

[yellowfellow]

things like what pendulum studios is doing

nvidia created a realtime rendered human head that looks far more realistic then anything an artist can pre-render

euphoria isnt even motion caputure, its simulated body physics and it looks much more realistic then just about everything thats pre-rendered

i dont know if you heard of project natal that maps people's body movements in real time and the playstation wand that tracks an extremely accurate 1:1 point movement in real time

[TheDonBurroni]

you out of touch

[diti230]

omg!!! who have created this?

5 starrssss!!!

[TarekSolidSnake]

shit !! thats awesome

he looks extremely realistic

man how did u model that ?>

was it a poly model out of plane ?

[tutubk1]

that was just amazing,

may I give you 6 stars?

[PivotAnimator50]

W...........O.................­.W

[viktor097]

örülök, h a magyarok is értenek vmihez 5*

[MinusGorgon]

wow. just wow.

[munther555]

thats so realistic

[dancemaxer]

Increible 5*

[biker123cool]

amazing! love it...

[p44v9n]

whoa.

[firess009]

you are awsome!

[smeacythe]

wow niceeeeee

[Hayaoalpirez]

woow me encanto como llena de saliba sus labios! ; )

[sombria13]

cool

[disznoo]

gratula, jó lett! :)

[trainerfabri]

It says "Maya"

[jodeci605]

I don't think that I saw the full title when I wrote the comment. But on the other hand, he could have used more than one program...if thats possible. Im new to the game so I don't know alot. But thanks for pointing that out.

[blooobat]

Maya 3d is an animation and modeling program. That's all you need really to make a video like this. Lip sync and modeling.
