Test with a few actions (no shape keys). I might be onto something Mouth ctrl inspired by @soraninArt (mine still missing a lot of phonemes) #b3d #WIP #rigging

@soraninArt Can I ask how you went about doing it without shapekeys?

@soraninArt I decided to go with a modular approach similar to rigify but mine is without the bendy bones/stretchy bones as deformers. My method relies a lot on the armature constraint where a bone can have multiple parents with different levels of influence

@soraninArt Yes! Awesome work! Seems you just lack the 'FV'/('lips protrusion' ?) and 'CH' phonemes from the original setup which are driven by additional actions and Y location and Z scale of the main lips controller. You can easily map them do additional sliders to keep it clean!🙂

@soraninArt Yes! I've already done most of the actions, but not assigned all of them to controls yet. I'm trying a mix of their style of mouth control with facs rigging

@soraninArt Brutal! Tenho tido muito pouca sorte em encontrar bons facial rigs para blender.

@soraninArt obrigado! é difícil até achar conteúdo didático sobre

@soraninArt I love these types of face controls, they cut down the time for animating and are super fun to work with 👍

@soraninArt Completely bone based?

amazing work dude!

thank you so much!
