Resources aimed at Head Creation

View all projects

By Matthew Birkett-Smith

abstract

The overall goal of this project is to create resources aimed at artists that will improve their ability to create believable photoreal heads and try and cut the amount of time taken to do so. To achieve this goal the project has been split up into two distinct parts, the first part is the creation of an extensive workflow tutorial which looks at an overview of the techniques necessary to produce high quality facial character work and makes recommendations aimed at artists based on which workflows may work best for them for a given project. As a testbed for research and as a tool for testing the validity of the techniques used a photoreal head will be created alongside the tutorial document.

 

The second part of this project is a head creation tool which aims to automate and provide high level controls of some of the more tedious and repetitive tasks involved in head creation, providing a flexible and powerful system for quickly generating content, freeing up artists to use their time more creatively and efficiently.
