My latest 3D portrait of Tony. I created his first portrait 8 years ago, and it’s interesting to see the changes in him, my artistic progress, and the evolution of technology. He has a few more wrinkles, a few more tattoos, but still the same good friend.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at creating Sean. I built about 30 full facial expressions, which were split into 140 individual blendshapes and integrated into the rig. The rig was set up using Advanced Skeleton, with several custom controls added once animation started.

We captured thousands of reference photos and videos to help guide the posing and timing. Richard @r_spriggs_ hand-animated 19 seconds of uninterrupted, straight-on facial performance, no motion capture was used. He did an excellent job capturing the subtle facial movements that often go unnoticed.

The final sequence, consisting of 456 frames, was rendered roughly 15 times before we achieved a result we were happy with. The project was created in #maya #mudbox rendered with #vray No AI was used! #noai

Given how AI is reshaping our industry, a quote from the 1983 film WarGames felt especially relevant for this 3d animated portrait. This portrait of Sean is a collaboration with my brother, Richard @r_spriggs_ who created the animation. #noai

I wanted to challenge myself in creating an animated portrait, one of the hardest tasks in 3d. I captured thousands of photo references for multiple different expressions, modelled around 30 full-face blendshapes, which I then split into 140 FACS-based shapes. I used Advanced Skeleton as a foundation for the rig and added custom modifications to meet the specific needs of the project. Sean has a complete body and face rig. Richard then key framed 19 seconds of animation. No AI was used.
