I am a 3d professional artist for a long time, I have to say I have read hundreds of books, watched hours of training videos, read pages of internet tutorials anything related to 3d animation. No other training material comes even close to things I have learned reading this book. It is a treasure that you have to keep somewhere close to your desk as a reference, whether you are modeling a character head, building blend shapes or rigging . I have used the techniques successfully in many projects. I thank Jason Osipa for writing this book and for teaching me how to build superior 3D characters. This is my second SS book, I also have the first edition. This 2nd edition is a lot different then the first.

A solid introduction to face rigging and animation

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is the book to get if you want a good introduction into facial modeling, rigging and animation. It's focused around rigging a face using blend shapes, or shape keys for all you fellow Blender users, though it does talk a bit about bone based rigs. If you want to create a face rig from the ground up or extend the features of a prefab rig then this is where you have to start.

If there was one negative criticism I have of this book is the weird ordering of the chapters. It alternates from chapters on modeling a specific facial region, the mouth for example, then a chapter on creating the blend shapes of that region. I am a fairly advanced modeler but I am a bit new to rigging so having to read a chapter than skip one becomes a bit confusing at times especially if you have to back track to an earlier chapter to revise a few things. I wish all the modeling chapter followed each other and then all the rigging chapters there after.

This book gives you a new way of working around lipsync. If you have been syncing for sometime and its the part of animation you have trouble with, or if it takes a large portion of your time this book is something you should consider. I previously was going about animation of lipsync in a way, that wasn't particularly wrong, but was much slower, and less efficent, and all and all produced poorer results. I highly recommend this book.

Book has been a great inspiration. After reading it I've had to alter my Mel (and soon to be python) scripts to better align with allot of what Jason says in the book. An absolute must pick up for any one just getting into the industry and looking to improve.

For someone just beginning in the character animation field, or for one that has experience in it, this book is a perfect choice to help advance your skills. The tutorials are easy to follow, and the facial rigs that you create are amazing!

The content of the book is ecellent, I've learned a lot by following the lessons within. However, the author tends to jump around a lot. You'll have to do a lot of jumping around to learn what you want.

I count this, along with "Imitation of Life" as my two need-to-own books for computer animation.

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2013

I like it. There's a lot of great information for both modeling and rigging, but the most valuable information is with the animation and expression.

"frohes rentier" schreibt, dass das buch nur mit der entsprechenden software sinn hat; zum glück liegt die in form einer cd bei.
das buch ist großartig; jason osipa's herangehensweise ist eine exzellente mischung; einerseits erklärt er, wie der meshflow eines kopfes aussehen muß, um optimal animierbar zu sein - immerhin haben auch die entsprechenden threads auf cgsociety.org seinen headmesh gewürdigt. andererseits liefert er das toolset, um kompexe animationen zu realisieren. dabei ermöglicht es sein "keyed bump map" workflow auch kleineren studios bzw. solo-artists, filmreife ergebnisse zu erzeugen.

absolut empfehlenswert!
