Facial Rigging

In this facial rigging course, we're going to cover every method and workflow used to create the facial rig for Storm, the latest character that you can download here. I focused on making sure the implementation of the deformations feels predictable and intuitive to animate with, and we're at Blender Studio excited to share that knowledge with you.

Below, you can download the 2 python scripts that will be used during the course to speed up the workflow and avoid too many repeating actions. These scripts will be explained during the designated videos and you can find them in their description as well.

For those who don't have their own model to work with, you can also download the clean model of Storm's face by using the blendfile below.
