New - Head turn

Hello again!

A already showed this in the thread "back to asp - new head" but thought it deserved a thread of it's own.

I worked a little more on my practice head so I could make a turn with it.

I worked a bit on the neck, made 3 eye lid poses for a blink switch, re arranged the layers a bit and got rid of the nasty chin creases.

The turn it self is merely some layer manipulation with a bit of point motion.

You can see the result here.

A front drawing might have made it look a tad smoother, but it does the job for the most part.

Personally I like this much better then a turn head rig, which are too mechanical for my taste.

That works pretty well. Just goes to show you don't always need loads of inbetweens.

The first link doesn't work btw.

Layer animation is by far the most powerful animation tool of AS Pro.

This gives tons of freedom in animation, just needs a bit of point animation on top of it. No need for special rigs for head turn.

One could had a front face to make things a little smoother, but still, it works pretty well as is.
