🎯 Lesson Quests

🚩 Quest 1: Rig the Mouth X
🚩 Quest 2: Rig the Face Jaw

‍

🚩 Quest 1: Rig the Mouth X

First we must create a new blend shape parameter for Mouth X

Parameter: Mouth X
ID: MouthX

• Minimum: -1, Default: 0, Maximum: 1

Now we'll make a new parameter around the Outer mouth parts called: Mouth [PH]

Now we make our deformations

Mouth X - Value: 1

Now you can reflect the Mouth motion over to the - 1 Value.

‍

🚩 Quest 2: Rig the Face Jaw

Within our Face [XY] Deformer, we need to create:

• Face [PH]

Now on our Mouth X blend shape, we can make the following deformations!

Mouth X - Value: 1

We just want to make sure the jaw lines up with the tilt of the mouth!

Now reflect the motion to the -1 value.

We will also add Jaw movement on the face

So again on deformer Face [PH]:

Mouth Open - Value: 0

Mouth Open - Value: 1

We will pull down the middle of the deformer to match the jaw with the open mouth, creating a "opening of the jaw" effect for our model.
