Week 1: Exercise 2a and 2b

This is the results after going through the tutorial:



Learning about blend shape deformers is a bit confusing for a while but after re-reading the tutorial a few times, I begin to understand it and I even managed to somewhat remember the steps required to do blend shapes. In the end, I thought it was straightforward and potentially less tedious than rigging, though limited. The animating confuses me for a while as I can't see the keyframe on the time slider, only for me to find out that the keyframe is on the blend shape node.

After that, I made another expression as we were tasked to. I made the model wink through blend shape so here's the result:


Making a wink is actually easier and faster than a smile or raising the brow because the entire eyelid, which was easy to select, moves and very little editing on the cluster weight was needed. In the end, it turned out the way I want it to.
