Project details follow:

Graphics:

1. Face.ma
   • will eventualy contain the base face model.

The python application will be separated into a simple layered hierarchy following a basic MVC architecture. From the GUI down to the Nimble Bridge, our architecture will be the following:

1. widget.ui

   • Created with QT Creator
   • Contains a collection of sliders to take user input

2. ChernoffFaceWidget.py

   • Manages callbacks from widget.ui
   • Hands parameter change requests off to FaceController.py.

3. FaceController.py

   • Programmatically controls the model’s rigging via a Nimble Bridge
   • Will poll state of the maya model before making alterations
   • Relies heavily on Model’s naming convention

Other files of interest include:

1. [mpl_cfaces.py] (https://gist.github.com/pemj/c32df80f53e0ccfdbd55) is a bit of code that generates 2D chernoff faces. Interface is, uh, suboptimal, but we can probably encapsulate it without too much issue.

2. Main Window is a file that describes the homepage of the project interface. It currently contains a link to the stubbed out version of the project screen.

3. Home Screen is a file that dictates the semantics of the home page. That is to say, it listens to buttons and executes the code to display other screens (or to connect to maya).
