lol! thanks for the references! and also felt amazed that how those muscles groups cooperate each other to make a 'simple' expression like smiling! wow!

>It looks like a nice series. I will watch it to get more understanding of stylized facial character facial expressions. I would like request one thing. I find it often that there are not a lot of facial rig setup workflow tutorials which can be more helpful in production. If you can make time for it and add one more chapter facial rigging. It would be nice if you can include topics like creating face rig UI combining with shape keys and bones. May be more advance workflows like which can make this character more production ready. Other than that, keep up the good work. Thanks!!

This is truly amazing content, not just for sculpting but for drawing and understanding faces as a whole! Thank you!

Hey there!

I feel as though I understand the shape keys well enough but had a question about something that might be a bit more specific and or advanced concerning their use. 🤔

( Please see below link for references. )

My character’s lower jaw is synced with his chin ( if that makes sense ).

When I move his jaw, his teeth move accordingly, but not the proper way they would in a person. That is, there should be more spacing between the last molars and the overall jaw should be less exaggerated in the angulation.

So for the end frame ( ie 1.0 marker ) I manually edited that pose. But when I close the jaw it now juts at an insane angle.

What is it I’m doing wrong?

Here’s my google folder with a link to the original file, the experiment file, and a visual guide of the abve question.
