Hallo!
Something is really bugging me as I am currently trying to animate a V4 character. It has to do with breathing in general..
I'm debating whether or not your belly pushes out or sinks in a bit when you inhale. I've heard conflicting reports from family I've asked. I do both.. I think... lol.. (Or I can't really decide.. because every time I experiment it's like my mind isn't letting me breathe naturally, if that makes any sense.)
Also I'm a guy.. with a not too slim belly, and I'm animating a slender female character.. not sure if that makes a difference!
Currently I'm just using the "Inhale" morph of V4, which raises up and expands the chest a bit.. but it looks weird without the belly expanding/contracting.
Does anyone have any suggestions to animate natural breathing?
Thanks!
