Facial rig comparison between Standard
Blendshape vs Blendshape Combination System (BCS) by Daniel Pook-Kolb (stargrav.com/bcs.php).
With BCS you can create, combine (Combination-Sculpting) multitude of
facial expression with flexible inbetweening and interpolation to
simulate realistic skin behavior.

P.S. The Gollum character by Weta Digital was based on such a system
for facial articulation. BCS is free for educational purposes.
