Can any one show me some sort of idea to get me going in the right direction.:confused: Post by jayr // Oct 27, 2007, 6:37am jayr Total Posts: 1074 this was something i wanted to try but haven't got round to it yet, sorry. If i get anything going or, sovk of shocks, actually done, i'll let you know.

So most will generally use build in "speak functionality" where they just have to enter some words to move the mouth. Since you will need for detailed animations some more bones inside the head, like for example two for the eye lid, one for the nose tipe and so on,you have two challenges there: - set up locks on right place so that when you move a bone not the whole head gets deformed - set up carefully the weight settings, I think you only should use small areas, which then asks for enough smaller faces in that area I'm definitely no expert, but from my understanding I would start it this way.

The bones as they are are not suitable to rig a face. You can't have floating bones.

You can't have floating bones.Not supposedly, animatable morphs are comming in TS7.6. Facial animation is one of the primary reasons for morphs but there are other uses too.
