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.

Importing to Blender 3D
• OBJ format allows storing geometry and texture coordinates.
• Blender offers fullfeatured importer of OBJ files and 3ds Max has an OBJ exporter.

4
Used Techniques
• Facial expressions are implemented by adding armature (bones) to Masha's face.

5
Used Techniques
• Bones are attached to the mesh using the Weight painting technique.

6
Used Techniques
• Expressions are made by stretching the bones just like real muscles.

7
Used Techniques
• Eyelids are controlled by bonedriven 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.
