Facial Rig Emotions

An important part of acting is showing emotions through the use of facial features. This extends to animation too. By using facial rigs, we can manipulate the facial features of a mesh to portray emotions. The eyebrows, eyes, cheeks, lips, chin and jaw are the usual features available to be manipulated and using the Morphy rig an example of emotions can be shown.

Angry

 

 

Sad

Disgust

Fear/Surprise
