| Using shift head forward-backward animation and looking up-down animation together can yield results which might not be as you expect them to be. The reason is that when looking up your head will also do some shifting which DEMoCap will detect. As a result looking up will usually be a combination of the looking up-down animation and the shift head forward-backward animation. To counter this you have to subtract a certain amount of head shift forward-backward from the looking up-down animation to get exactly the result you want to. To do this you best use the [[democap: | Using shift head forward-backward animation and looking up-down animation together can yield results which might not be as you expect them to be.

| It looks a bit strange but if this animation frame is combined with shifting head forward (as happens if you look up) then the result will be the looking up pose you started out with. | It looks a bit strange but if this animation frame is combined with shifting head forward (as happens if you look up) then the result will be the looking up pose you started out with. | ||

| How much of the head shifting to subtract depends on the actor. In general the rule of thumb is to subtract 75% of shift head forward from the looking up pose and 50% of shift head forward from the looking down pose. As mentioned the looking done pose is often not required to be modified but it can be done to optimize the results. | How much of the head shifting to subtract depends on the actor.
