Hi all...
just I'm playing on my M&S entry and now I finished a part of a body... I desire to bone it and freely pose my figure... but here I'm lost for the face expression. :shrug:

I'd like to generate a face that express pain... Is better to do it using posermixer, or I have to add bones and generate the expression with a bose structure ? I model my figure with the closed mouth, and I will this mouth totally open like if he scream...

just and advice to understand with wich manual I had to start :scream: for this...

Thanks for hany help...

Hi julien. I am by no means an expert but I have done a few cartoonish expressions and I usually use PoseMixer to pose them. Either way (bones or morphs), it requires a bit of work on you're part. I've never been a big fan of using bones in the face. I personally feel it doesn't give me the control that I have using posemixer. The sliders are a great way to mix it up a bit too so I'd recomend this method. Good luck, I'm watching you're thread.

We answered at same time...Thanks 3D_explorer. I'm happy that I redo completely my head, just selecting some edges loops, some poly or some points I obtain cool result... You got right the posermixer give you a excellent control !
