I'm decent at rigging, but for some reason I suck at drivers. These rigs are the problem at hand. Would someone please update the facial rigs found in this ZIP folder so that they have no refresh issues? Announce your presence at the blenderartists thread. You WILL get your name in the credits. In fact, I will write it down.

Details: the rigs are currently powered by driving the brightness values of several textures. The style of rigging is supposed to hide/reveal basic 2-D graphics in a "malayo/pocoyo" sort-of way. Currently the graphics flicker in the render, even in keyframe-free regions. Your mission is to create a solution which does not change the control scheme if possible, and does not change the main character rig in any way.

Thank you immensely for your time, and please help.

Good luck, you'll need it.

Here's the storyboards for the film. I've been working on these for about a week. I created the music, most of the sound is whipped off of the intertubes.






blat So yeah, I just showed you guys the whole movie, but there are much better things on the way!

Hooie! It's been a while since I ever did something responsible, so now's the time. I'm working on a new short film, on and off, called Creative Short. (Title subject to near guaranteed change.) The work I'm currently doing is in assets, and they're nearly done. Here's some rigging.



This is the "Smart Guy" rig. Just simple controls, based heavily on the Peach rigs. Everything except for the face and the fingers is done with a meshdeform modifier. I've already created "Addict" through modifying this one. Next, some story rework and the storyboards! See ya soon!
