This week I started retargeting the brows and eyes in Maya. We have a neutral frame at zero but there is still a considerable gap from 0 to 1. So we need a frame one posed.​​ When I first retargeted I thought the system did quite well even though there were clear inconsistencies in the frames. There wasn't too much frames to add.

I started by retargeting on Faceware Retargeter on Maya and going through the frames and seeing any inconsistencies. After I noted down clear facial movement that did not match up I undid the retarget with Ctrl Z and went through and added new keys on the brows and eyes face group in the Faceware tab. I then went through and added the new poses to help the system retarget. I retargeted and went through to see if the areas were fixed then found more jitter and too many keys added. So I deleted similar keyed poses and kept useful ones I believed I needed.

​

I definitely needed to add a few adjustments to my brow and eye retarget but the overall facial movements look similar to the reference video.
