If I want to add eye brows or a mustache to a rigged character, how to I get them to move with the geometry of the face when it deforms? I remember hearing how to do it and it was an easy 1 step thing but I can't figure it out.

Thanks.

Depends on the software you're using - in Max you can use the skinwrap modifier to do exactly this

best of luck

In Maya:

A wrap deformer has worked for me in the past. You can also have the face geometry be an influence object for the brow/moustache by selecting skin> Edit skin > Add influence, and then paint the skin weights of the brow/moustache to be 100% to the face geometry.

Thanks guys. Sorry I forgot to mention that I'm using Maya. The wrap deformer worked great.
