i tried doing a search in the forum in hopes of finding a facial animation tutorial to no avail :(

i was wondering if anyone had any handy links to good tutorials. i'm currently reading through keith lango's lip sync tutorial, but i think i need an expression tutorial. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a tutorial I wrote that covers the basics of a facial rig using a bone setup:

Here's an animation (linked to in the tutorial) that shows you the final result of the rig when used in a simple animation:

Check out "Stop Staring" from Jason Osipa. Software he uses is maya (really not important), but it is absolutely great book for max users too (i'm maxer:) too).
