Creating A Face Rig

face_rig_cropSuper-awesome facial rigging tutorial by David Ward, available now at BlenderCookie.com!  This tutorial teaches you how to rig an alien face: head, mouth, and eye – even how to do “sticky eyeballs.” :)

From the BlenderCookie.com page:

This tutorials covers how to create a more advanced type of facial rig, showing you how to use the “stretch to” constraint to give the face a more fluid way of animating. The “stretch to” is great for things like lips and eyelids (which is shown in this tutorial); in addition, I show you how to make the eyelids “stick” to the eyeball surface, so there’s no unwanted gap between the two while animating.

    Awesome. Eyelids sticking to eyeballs are something which I must learn!

    the only problem with the eyelids is that they will only stick to the eye if it is perfectly round….
