Goals
- Find the best way how to
import a model of Masha from 3ds Max to Blender 3D.
- Explore Blender's capabilities
in face rigging.
- Rig Masha with some facial
expressions using Blender 3D.
IBM - CVUT Student Research Projects 3
Importing to Blender 3D
- OBJ format allows
storing geometry and texture coordinates.
- Blender offers full-
featured importer of OBJ files and 3ds Max has an OBJ exporter.
IBM - CVUT Student Research Projects 4
Used Techniques
- Facial expressions are
implemented by adding armature (bones) to Masha's face.
IBM - CVUT Student Research Projects 5
Used Techniques
- Bones are attached to
the mesh using the Weight painting technique.
IBM - CVUT Student Research Projects 6
Used Techniques
- Expressions are made
by stretching the bones just like real muscles.
IBM - CVUT Student Research Projects 7
Used Techniques
- Eyelids are controlled
by bone-driven shape keys (also called morph targets).
- Unwanted mesh
deformations are compensated in the same way.

Conclusion
- Model of Masha was imported from 3ds
Max to Blender 3D without problems.
- Masha was rigged with facial expressions
using several advanced techniques offered by Blender 3D.
- In future, more bones could be added so
better and more believable expressions would be achieved.
