Face posing is hard to begin. Because its a constant back and forth of multiple things: "How do I want the neutral to be" "Can the rig allow certain things" "What style do I want to animate the character" And you can see that with the amount of trial... show more

Making neutral face poses is key. They are genuinely the starting stone to any face posing work and figuring out who your character is

Rig for Norspil made by @xXGariyuuXx (Genuinely they are a god send, They really were helpful with getting this rig made for animation purposes)

This is usually the part where after I’d start using a mirror and references to find neutral positions to polish up a bit more. I’ll do a bit more in-depth on that on how the face kind of works and translating it onto characters to fit them themselves

Pretty basic stuff once you understand how the muscle groups work. All the trial and error usually stems from a lack of adequate reference material. Just practice!

Nah I meant the trial and error was due to the rig :) If you look, the way it translates causes problems, the frontalis muscles around the top work fine, but when trying to translate up it causes some deformation problems I had a ton of reference and my own on the side!

But you are right! Pretty much most common issues I see are with the eyebrows not being connected though, reference and more is king, my favourite book is usually Classic anatomy by Winslow Valarie, then universal face expression is a good website too!

The refinement is super impressive mate! Honestly, you half tempt me to try animation

I’d kill for a rig in Maya ;w;

Please anyone I need an avatar creator

This is fantastic

Steve-O reveals the turning point that made him realize he was sex-addicted and how he broke the cycle “When I got to my late 30s, and I was sort of knocking on the door of 40... hooking up with random chicks all the time. It really occurred to me that that is not the path to happiness” “I want to be happy, I want to have a good life and I subscribe to the belief that that means I need to learn to have a healthy relationship so that I can have a life partner” “I resolved to stop hooking up with random chicks on the road. And when I made that promise to myself, I was unable to keep it” “Therein is sort of the definition of addiction. I didn't want to do it and I couldn't stop myself from doing it” “So I went and I got a therapist, and I took it super, super seriously, like just the same way I did with drugs and alcohol”
