Hi! My first post, be nice ;) I am a beginner, have been studying Maya part time for 2 years. I am now doing my final project, where I am working alone and doing everything from start to finish. Previously I've only really done parts, so this is a new experience!

I setting up a dinosaur-like character, with the body and head as a single model. I need to set up the facial controls. There is no speech, only expressions. I was planning on using blendshapes, but since it's all one model, I would need to blendshape the whole character. Is this a good idea? Is there a better way to animate expressions?

Thanks!
Katy
