Demystifying Lip Sync Animation in Blender
Lip Sync” is the art of animating a character’s mouth to sync with an audio clip so the character appears to talk. In this course, you’ll learn the ins and outs of lip sync animation with Blender, including 3 new rigs for practice!

What You Will Learn
“Lip Sync” is the art of animating a character’s mouth to sync with an audio clip so the character appears to talk. It’s a crucial skill for character animators to learn and it can be tricky to get right. In this course you’ll learn 3 new rigs to practice lip syncing!

Audio Analysis
First we’ll breakdown an audio clip into phonemes sounds and visemes shapes. This is important for understanding how to construct your character’s mouth animation.

2D Lip Sync
We’ll get our feet wet by starting with a 2D rig and animation. Using this head rig of Baker, you’ll create mouth movement by animating a ‘selector’ from mouth shape to mouth shape. It’s an intuitive way to get comfortable with lip sync.

3D Lip Sync
Then we will move into the third dimension with a fast method based on the Melvin character. This is a quick and easy method for those jobs where you just need to get the job done as fast as possible.

Finally I’ll show you how to go that extra mile and do some feature quality lip sync with a simplified 3D Baker character rig. You will see how to void common problems as well as how to squeeze the best animation from your character’s mouth.
