Hii, I’m TT (short for Turtle Trainer) and I’ll be teaching you how to change expressions with outfits!
What is an expression?
In this thread, an expression is the stable ending of an animation.
Here’s an expression:
This is the admire expression. Now, how can I change this slightly without using overlays?
I gotcha, all you have to do is change their outfit.
The script is:
INT. WOOD
@MARY stands screen center AND MARY faces right AND MARY is admire
@pause for 2
@pause for a beat
@MARY changes into MARY_1
And here’s the after!
As you can see, the mouth is closed.
You can call this technique “hidden animations” if you want to, feel free to comment those who change expressions after outfit changes! I’ll add them as I discover!
EXPRESSION CHANGING ANIMATIONS:
- admire (closes mouth)
- think (changes arm placement)
- admire_hold_gift (removes the gift as well!)
- apply_lipstick (changes face expression)
- blow_kiss (slight change on the hand position)
- sleep_uncomfortable_awake
- frustrated
