Here is a cool facial rigging with projected 2D like facial texture mapping, but a closer look at it, it is not a texture, it is shader setup more like vector drawing which doesn’t pixelate when zooming. Very neat and an intuitive way of 2D like facial setup on 3D model. You can find the tool here.

Below is a tutorial on setting up the eye using this tool.

WRAP FACS Facial Setup Demo from Puppeteer Lounge on Vimeo.

Here is the breakdown demo of the facial rig we prepared at Puppeteer Lounge for the new WRAP FACS Facial Setup training workshop. The model here is my wife and Puppeteer Lounge’s co-founder Sachina Shakya! It was a fun project 🙂

This breakdown demo showcases believable facial setup based on Facial Action Coding System. Learn photogrammetry to 3D scan a face and integrate it to the pipeline for CGI animation creating your very own digital double. Learn to extract facial expression based on FACS from 3D scans. Make it compatible for 3D workflow and create a rig based on it. Learn to create automated maps for wrinkles, blood flow, roughness compression/stretching and fine facial details. The motion capture ready FACS based facial rig is compatible with game engines and films.
