making ink-like drawn comic-face , matching methods
Hi all, i have a Q, as ever.
What do you think should be the most workless-goodlooking method, i know it’s impossible :P,
of creating in AEF, bezier curve based charecter face which will look as close as possible as hand-drawn picture, for further animation.here’s my try :

Draw some splines on a solid,
set their mask modes to “none”
do a “render->stroke” effect , all paths (on transparant), lower the hardness setting.
add “stylize->roughen edges”tweak the roughen edges, the stroke hardness and width.
You can also use a “render->scribble” instead of the stroke, use fill type “Centered Edge” and experiment.
for easier animation, set different elements (eyes, mouth) on different layers that you parent to a null.

Well , it’s the method i used, and results you can see in my post above , but if you take a closer look at strokes, they look similar but they’re different, i still can’t make aef_made stroke to be such distorted – not only edges , the way of ink lay on paper, i can’t explain it exactly in english 😉 – like original one,
i know , many of you will say,draw it , scan it, make layers in photoshop and then animate ,BUT, is this the only way ?
There is one thing i was thinking about, but i’m not sure if it is in real like i’m thinkging about it, MAYA.
It’s much more work but maybe making low-poly face models, and use for render some custom cartoon shader will work out,
i don’t have maya so i cant try it by myself,
what do you think about it ?Alek.
