Abstract:
To support the increased animation demands of The LEGO Batman Movie, the team at Animal Logic developed a unique blend-shape system for animating LEGO faces. Animators were presented with real-time texture previews and the ability to quickly sculpt the shapes of contour curves by efficiently modifying vertices and tangents. The proprietary animation system would create new blend-shapes on the fly for each new pose.
