  I’m at a loss…(Isolating and masking a moving mouth)

  Posted by Graham Nix on February 18, 2020 at 8:07 pm

  So I’m trying to just mask my mouth moving so I can put it on my dog. A lot like the annoying orange does. Does anyone know how to go about doing this? I tried to use face tracking (detailed features) but couldn’t figure out how to use that data. Can anyone help me out with this?

  You might be able to do this using expressions to drive points on a mask to follow the face tracking data.
  What might be easier would be to get some very green face paint and then just key everything but your mouth.
  Actually, depending on your skin tone, you might be able to just put some rather vibrant red lipstick on and use the paint bucket tool outside your mouth to fill the outside with alpha…
