AR Project | Avatar Animation | 2D & 3D Avatars
Procedural Animation in AR
Presented at Meta Connect 2023, this is project I worked on with the AR Team. Lizzie is a eng-driven, dynamically animated 3D model template for Spark AR. Lizzie can walk where you tap and has look at capabilities~ The dynamic animation for the walk is based on my keyframe animation while the idle, blink, and dance is my animation directly! I worked with creative engineering to make sure Lizzie has the appeal and physicality while dynamically interacting with the user and the environment. Program: Maya, Spark AR)
Here is the Meta Connect presentation detailing the entire project!
3D Avatar Character Animation
Much of the Metaverse is still in the future, so for now, some character animation was needed to simulate the avatars. I animated these avatar characters and worked very closely with TA's, video editors, and designers to create this presentation for AR glasses. (Program: Maya)
Avatars on Facebook! Stickers, posts, profile pictures, and stories are a few of the places you can see your custom built avatar in different Meta products. They first came out in 2D and then shortly converted to 3D ~ The following are but a few examples of avatars I have posed in Maya, both 2D & 3D. There are many many more - just open your messenger tab or check out your avatar posts to see more of my work! :D (Program: Maya)
