#3d facial expressions

[museumofunnaturalspectacles]

okay, so while going through 3dwi, i noticed these interactions between amber and holland that i interpreted as their relationship deteriorating (fast).

first, we see their first interaction between 50 and 60. amber approaches holland first while she plays, but because pat intervenes, there's no real interaction going on, so i guess it's better to word this as an attempted one. friendly, nonetheless.

their first actual interaction occurs between 95 and 105, where it's just the 2 of them outside on the beach.

while we cannot see the faces of the characters, we can see their body language.

amber is hunched over and refusing to look holland in the eye as she talks about... something. whatever it is, it might have shocked holland, as she suddenly moves slightly backward and begins shifting her body toward the house. she gets up after amber either gestures toward the sand or house (i honestly can't tell if it's her moving out of anxiety because of the potentially uncomfortable subject or not), and goes inside.

after a little more forum talk, we then see this interaction between pat and amber, or at least we can assume so due to the obscured view. occurs between 111 and 121.

amber appears to be backing away from someone, presumably pat. there might be a hidden 3rd person here, as on 116, both of their heads move that make it look like they're looking at someone else. here's a gif to illustrate what i mean, as the head movements are minimal (from 115 to 117):

she ends up going down into a sitting position and slumps over as pat talks (down) to her.

with that in mind, here's amber and holland's next interaction with each other. compared to the attempted and first real interaction, it is very one-sided, with holland trying to interact while amber is indifferent and ignores her. (between 126 and 133)

see that in the wheelbarrow? it's the red spheres that are later talked about and shown in the story, with the minimum being at least 3 in that scene. they are directly related to amber's wellbeing, from what we understand. now this is where i start interpreting it a little more my way, as what they exactly represent isn't as clear. they could be traumatic memories or visual representations of each version of her before a traumatic event, who knows? but it is interpreted by the in-universe players as a health status indicator.

and we know she's going out to dump them, because they are shown near the end of the story to follow the above image's detailing of the process and correlates with the first question posed by Thomas:

(i personally interpret each sphere as a "version" of amber before a traumatic event occurs.)

going off of this, it may mean that amber confided in holland about the abuse she's been through. holland either confronted the adults about it or let it slip from her lips, but i'm guessing that holland went for a confrontation due to her immediately going inside after the conversation ends and because amber is her friend. (a child would not know the ramifications of this, they just know they want to stand up for their friends.) this lead to the separate incident with pat, likely resulting in further abuse functioning as punishment for telling holland and an attempt to keep her silent about it. this is why i posted thomas's message in full, because it seems to be from the perspective of amber feeling hopeless about her situation due to nothing changing.

of course amber would be mad if this lead to further abuse, it's why she doesn't even look at holland, the latter of which throws a tantrum when she is met with no response to play with a rock(????).

their next interaction is from far away between 139 and 152.

holland appears angry for whatever reason and kicks the sand and almost falls. it looks like amber tries to comfort or talk to holland during her fit, but the latter stomps back toward the house. after a moment, amber seemingly breaks down crying. (i don't think it's important to note grace here in this particular post, but just in case, she's either ignoring them or is oblivious. doesn't move throughout the entire interaction, even when amber begins to cry.)

there's less to work off of here. it looks like it was taken in the middle of something, as holland is walking in the first frame of this, so she may have come straight from the house or was talking to amber from a distance before walking to the water, since the latter is already facing the former. regardless of what it's about, it's clear their relationship is strained with holland largely ignoring amber's presence. it even seems like amber briefly turns to look at the door of the house to see if holland came back out, but looks back to the ocean upon seeing no one is there.

the next scene they have together (after holland brings out a lamp for whatever reason) is between 184 and 194.

the ignoring is now mutual. they don't move at all and are facing away from each other. (besides their relationship now ended, i find it funny how joe senses how awkward the silence is and attempts to find something to do without leaving.)

i thought this was an interesting dynamic, especially given the fact that holland is the only known person in the story to have given amber her friendship and attention. amber is literally and metaphorically isolated from people, so losing her only positive connection was definitely a blow.

WIP

And yes with all the power at my hand I decided on doing Bildad the shuhite first. Still unposed and obviously most of it is just blocked out and the facial expression needs a revision and I definitely didn't spend two hours trying to get a hang of doing hard surfaces in Zbrush for the glasses only to give up ...(Gonna do them in blender). And I can only emphasize that the facial expression is getting a bit more work. I am just not good with them.

Also I did a bit of refinement on the base

And I am generally pretty happy with it. Probably gonna do a few with less extreme expressions.

Assignment work!* When rigging characters for animation, the final step is the "range of motion test" - an animation designed to show users of the rig what it's capable of, and also designed to help YOU (the rigging artist) check if any motions deform your rig badly.

anyway check out my boy absolutely shMOVIN'

(*between design, modelling, texturing and rigging, this is the culmination of four assignments actually)

Idk who needs to hear this but whenever folks are like "they didn't even do real art, they used a 3d model to help with the pose!!",

all i hear is some snooty priss in 1833 going, "they didn't even do real art, they looked at a PHOTOGRAPH for reference!! That's CHEATING!!"

Like, 3D models are not A.I.! They are morally neutral modern art tools (that, by the way, very much still require effort and skill to use)!

Shortcuts in art technology [that don't steal other people's art] are good actually!! People should use them!

Whenever people disparage someone's artistic ability because that person openly says they use 3d models, I'm just like,

Okay

DO PRAY TELL, what other amazing advancements in modern art technology count as "cheating"? Perspective grids? Lasso tools? Color correction? Pattern brushes? Symmetry rulers? Undo buttons?? Shortcut keys??? - Aren't you a bit young to be an old man yelling at clouds??
