I have been creating animated sequences in Blender, but mainly in support for my classes. I have still not gotten to the point where I will record melting 3D prints in stereo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been working on a project of mine that has the working title <em>Sleepwalk<\/em> and added a very simple, shape key based, face rig to my walking dude. I added controls that resemble a face. In the video those controls do not show up as clearly as I had hoped, while working in Blender the visibility is bit better. In the image above I colored the controls to make them stand out more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Face Rig Test\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bTz3R1u_LAk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I used this rig earlier to create this short:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\" style=\"margin-right:0;margin-left:0\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"#Sleepwalk #IntoThePit #Phoney #Animation #Blender #B3D #Toon #2024 #Vote #meme #memes\" width=\"422\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hs5jnRR8Iac?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And here are some falling yams and a recent test I created while prepping for class:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Yams!
