Hi all,
First time posting on this mailing list.
I'm a student who will be diving into my first animated short and I am
trying to establish my pipeline. I'm primarily a VFX guy and as such
this will be relatively new ground for me.
I primarily use a combination of 3ds Max and Houdini for my VFX work.
I have been looking towards Softimage for the animation side of my
project. The inclusion of FaceRobot is very appealing, and something I
would love to put into practice. I will be using iPiSoft for body motion
capture and I'm tossing up between Zigntrack or Syntheyes (already own)
for facial motion capture. The facial motion capture is where I feel
FaceRobot would excel.
I'm curious about the general rigging, animation layering and mocap
retargeting avaliable in Softimage for body animation. Because I want to
utilize FaceRobot, I assume it would be an easier workflow to also
animate the body in Softimage.
The animation will then be brought back to 3ds Max and combined with
assests from Houdini for final rendering with Vray.
I understand being the Softimage Mailing List, opinions may be biased :P
Just curious if anyone knows of any pros/cons or issues I may run into?
Thank you in advanced for any help,
Cheers,
Daniel Dye.
