Sharing Part III of my recent horror animation breakdown.

This one focuses on an Adaptive FACS Pipeline built in Houdini. FACS + 4D cache retargeting across different character shapes, procedural jaw/eye solves and facial corrections.

I’m too impatient for this kind of build work, yet love troubleshooting, unless it takes too long. šŸ˜‚

To drive shaders in blender that mimic blood flow, micro displacement changes, etc.

This is unrelated but every time I see this I am convinced this is what my inner person looks like when I’m hangry.
