    Lips, brows, frown lines--they're all in motion in an expressive face. Stop Staring analyzes facial structures and movements and shows animators how to enliven the faces of their characters. The author, whose own handsome head (in modeled form) graces the cover, is an experienced animator currently working on The Sims.

    He writes with a dry wit and a confidence born from experience. The book is friendly but also loaded with content and precise in its directions. "I am by no means God's gift to animation, but I do pretty well at making a talking head look like a living one, not just a set of gums flapping." This is not a how-to manual, but a richly detailed guide to achieving the right movements for a given situation and emotion. The companion CD includes all the pieces readers will need in order to work along with the text: models (both realistic and stylized 'toon characters), lip-synching samples, finished Quicktime movies, and even a copy of Maya Personal LE. (More info and some movies can be found at jasonosipa.com.)

    Readers move from "Getting to Know the Face," to synching audio, working on the mouth, eyes, and brows, and rigging. Osipa has created a methodology for facial animation that gets results and makes the process fun. The book can be used as a step-by-step guide for learning new skills or finessing techniques, or as a reference book for troubleshooting specific expressions (for example, "happy eyes," "frustration," and "sneers" are all in the index). Although the projects are presented using Maya, the concepts involved pertain to animation in general.

    There are lots of production tips and, in Chapter 13, case studies using five scripted scenes. Readers can even begin with this last chapter, watching the movies (they're funny!) and enjoying Osipa's debates as he works through animating his face telling a lame bartender joke or a sassy `toon gal weighing the pros and cons of pink and blue bows. This hip writer knows what he's talking about, even when it's his own animated mug that's doing the talking! --Angelynn Grant

    5 out of 5 stars A 'must' for any serious computer animation collection........2007-07-27

    The second updated edition of STOP STARING: FACIAL MODELING AND ANIMATION DONE RIGHT offers far more than just introductory coverage: it uses high-quality professional images combined with humor to provide a revised, updated set of basics on design, modeling and animation - including elements which differentiate top-quality productions from mediocre results. From learning lip sync techniques and understanding facial landmarking to using advanced blend extraction tools and building realistic shapes, STOP STARING holds plenty of diagrams and pictures throughout and is a 'must' for any serious computer animation collection.

    5 out of 5 stars Also excellent for Blender users.......2007-07-08

    This is a great book and I highly recommend it for anybody interested in character animation. Although the author uses Maya and a few examples describe Maya-specific functionality, most of the material in here is very broadly applicable, making this an indispensable book for Blender animators as well.

    Readers of my book Introducing Character Animation with Blender should definitely check this one out.

    5 out of 5 stars Definitive for Facial Modeling.......2007-06-27

    This book clarifies the issues for anyone doing character animation. The modeling of a face takes on a strategic importance and the mesh must anticipate the demands made on it by animation.

    If you want to animate a face, this book is for you.

    5 out of 5 stars Chapter 13 worth $1,000,000 in warcraft gold.......2007-05-11

    Osipa's approach to toon rigging (and rigging in general) is unique, new, innovative and very simple to grasp and implement. I don't want to give away the genius of Chapter 13, because I THINK you need to buy this book!

    You want to know how they "might have" rigged Elastigirl in The Incredibles? It's so simple you'll kick yourself in the shin for not thinking of it yourself.

    This whole book is filled with rigging know-how by a lover of cartoons. His primary goal is making excellent facial animation. Something this industry sorely lacks! And this is the book that documents his experiences and skills. Learn from it. Be a better rigger.

    If you want to be a Rigger or Character TD for toons or even photo-real characters, these techniques will be omni-present in studios (big and small) in the next year. Get this book and read it cover to cover so I don't have to kick you in the shin.


    4 out of 5 stars Good tips, annoying style.......2007-03-09

    This book has a lot of useful information but the author's somewhat patronising and self-congratulatory tone sometimes makes you want to stop reading. Let me give you a couple of examples from the very start of the book (note that these are quotes from the actual book's text, not "marketing" material):

    Introduction: "You'll learn much of what you could learn elsewhere while also picking up more pertinent valuable information you couldn't learn elsewhere."

    Page 3: "They saw how I took something so complex, so daunting, so evil, and made it so easy, simple, and - dare I say it? - fun!"

    Page 6: "It's very easy to learn how to do this, but very hard to master; luckily you have a good coach."

    In addition to this, a lot of the book's contents are about... the rest of the book's contents. Some chapters start with several paragraphs about... the rest of that chapter. And many paragraphs end with "cliffhangers" (ex., "This is not necessary; I'll explain why in the next paragraph.", when he could simply move "This is not necessary" to that next paragraph and explain straight away). The overall effect is a bit like an infomercial.

    Having said that, the book does have some very good tips about animating and modelling realistic human faces (and especially about how to model them so that they are easier to animate). The examples use terminology from Maya, but people used to other 3D packages will have no problem understanding them.

    Cartoon-style characters are also covered, but the models used are mostly humanoid and fairly realistic (think anime), so if you're interested in ways of conveying emotion with more extreme (or more abstract) characters, you might want to look elsewhere (ex., George Maestri's books and videos, Looney Tunes cartoons, Uderzo's drawings, etc.). The modelling tips and techniques described in this book will probably still come in handy, though.

    Bottom line: this is one of the best books available on the subject of facial modelling and animation (granted, there aren't many). As long as you manage to get past the patronising attitude and the unnecessary "build-up" of some chapters (both of which are worse at the start of the book - or maybe I just learned to ignore them), you'll almost certainly learn something, even if you're an experienced animator.
