Creating expressive and lifelike characters starts with a solid facial rig. In this video, I’ll break down the two main methods for facial rigging: bones and shape keys. Whether you’re making characters blink, smile, or deliver emotional performances, I’ll show you how to set up a face rig that works for you. We’ll explore the simplicity of bone-based rigs for features like eyes and hair, and dive into the flexibility of shape keys for complex expressions like mouth shapes and eyebrow poses. Ready to make your characters come alive? Let’s get started! Ohh by the way, this is part of a big series of videos about my 3D Animation Production Pipeline, check it out!
