Multi-Layer Recording

When you follow the instructions in the Solo Feature Selection Puppeteering section, then you are generating a facial clip expression at one time. However, you may also apply the multi-layer recording method to individually record the feature motions.

 
Using Solo Feature Selection Puppeteering
  1. Launch the Face Puppet Panel.
  2. Make sure that the Blend data on next recording is activated in order to perform the multi-layer recording.
  3. Go to a timeframe where you want to start puppeteering.
  4. Select one feature and record the puppeteering result as a clip. Please refer to the Solo Feature Selection Puppeteering section for more information.
  5. Go to the timeframe specified in Step 3.
  6. Click the Clear Puppet button and select another facial feature in the pane.
  7. Start to puppet and record the motion of this selected facial feature.

    When you stop recording, the motion of the selected feature will be layered into the previous facial motion clip.
  8. Repeat Steps 4 to 7 until you are satisfied with the actor's expression results. Each recording will blend, layer by layer, the effects to the motion clip.
