The Bench - Morther - Better attempt

To make the control over the bench a lot better more morth targets where added, a morth target was added for each of the control points that where needed on the bench.

Eyes

The first control point was the eyes, seperating the eyes into two separate targets, and setting them to very wipe eyes. This made it so the eye size could be resized using the percentage in the morther, depending on the desired size.

Eye Brows

Separate morth targets where added for the brow on each side, this was so the bench could lift the individually to aid in giving more expression in the benches face language.

As well as having morth targets for the separate brows, morth targets where created for the whole brow. This brow was made for when the brow is raised, this is used in creating the sad bench animation and its added slightly for the happy expressions.

The dripping brow was created for the angry expression, the brow is lowered and is lowered a great deal in the centre.

Framing

The framing is altered to give the bench more movement when doing the expressions, the high frame was created for use when the bench is happy or when the bench has and idea.

The low frame was created for when the bench need to become smaller, when the bench is sad the frame will sink to the ground. When researching, when most are sad they tend to sink downwards, this morth targets tries to show the same emotion for the bench.

Mouth

The first mouth is angry mouth, when looking at the research image, when the character is angry the mouth raises up. This is replicated in this mouth.
Bored mouth left and right, creating the expression of bored proved to be very difficult. The yawning motion in the research is not look right. I chose to have a twitching of the mouth animation, i feel this still shows the bench is bored very well.

Happy mouth, this mouth was the easiest to create. When someone is happy there mouth tends to arc a great amount.

Idea mouth, this wasn't too difficult. Taking the happy mouth and making it bigger, i was able to find an idea mouth i like and thought suited the animation well.

Sad mouth was created by lowering the sides of the lower lip, and arcing the lip so the centre of the lip is at the top. This was created by following the guide found during the research and copying the shape across.

The worried mouth was created from what I thought the mouth would look like when its worried, lowering and heightening the lip at intervals.
