Here's a rigging/modeling project that has consumed much of my time lately, it includes the eye rig from my previous entry. It's still a work in progress, but I've learned a lot in the process already. Below is a simple motion test using some, but not all of the shapes that compose the rig. More still to do!

Work in progress? Right...
Amazing, extremely impressive. I'm looking for my jaw actually.
Thanks for the kind words Luki :)
I wish I could call it finished but after this test I can see all the things I need to do.. like the tongue, sticky-lips solution maybe.. more shapes.. and a proper lip sync performance!
Btw, love your work, I'm a fan. You've got a great style!
Super realistic!,
..if you plan to work more on it you can add some subtle ear movements on jaw open, and stress the platysma little bit more but that depends what you after...
Really like the model. I hope you are going to share more details.
Thanks! Will definitely post some more details in another update. If you look closely theres some subtle ear movement much of the mouth movement, although that's a good call on the jaw open, it could use more to be more convincing!
Love it!!
superb work and great model dude !
keep it up !
Wow, I've been fan of your stuff for the longest. This face rig is just pfss no words, well just one. Kicks ass, lol.
Really impressive ! Did you use any mocap for this facial test or did your own shapes by hand ?
It looks so realistic and full of life already !

Wow! You work is just awesome! I've been a fan for longer than you may know!
WONDERFUL WORK! Mind = blown. Great work!
very expresive facial deformations! some ear movement would add to the realism
I got a fright! She started moving and I was blown away.
Thanks guys for the comments, I really appreciate hearing your thoughts!
@Guillaume: all these shapes were created by hand in maya. Thank you for the nice words :)
I hope to return to this as I've been on a bit of a hiatus lately! Gotta find that motivation again
Impressive and expressive!
You are so talented.
you rigging for maya or 3d max?
I'm looking for this material
you can training it to me?
Really outstanding work...the face is a difficult beast to tackle, but you're achieving some great results.
I was hoping you could explain a little how you put this together.
How much of the face rig is blendShapes? How many shapes did you model? I'd also be interested to know how you break your shapes up...do you model an entire expression and break this into regions or do you use more of a FACS based approach?
I also saw the eye test you posted. I'd appreciate it if you explain a bit about how you put this together too?
Wow, great model and really amazing expressions. Looks perfect!
Aw man that is just beautiful.
Just curious, is that the base mesh or a higher sub d level?
Hey, amazing work!
could please you post a screenshot with joints? Really curious how many is there :)

For those who asked, there's about 100 shapes driving it in total right now, about 50 of those are unique and the rest are left and right shapes and combinations.

I'm shocked.

Nooooo! Is it just me or have your videos disappeared??
I would LOVE to see your process for creating these faces, I've been checking back here every so often but you're very busy with other projects.
Hi - I'm from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Is this facial rig available for purchase? I'd love to discuss your work.
