Maya Facial Rigging Fundamentals

A 3D artist's essential skill is facial rigging. Being able to design a flexible, contained rig will help animators in the future. This course will teach you how to efficiently rig facial features from start to finish. You'll learn how to assess the needs of an animator, and create a facial rig that is both flexible and limited to create meaningful facial-poses. You'll be able to create the desired effect by learning how to do it. This includes creating eyebrows and using blend shapes and joints on one side. You'll be able to use both of these techniques to create special facial-rigging features like fleshy eyes and control the eyeballs. All of these mechanics will be tied to the controls at the beginning. You'll be able to create the faces of your characters by the end of the course.
