Here's my rigging demo reel from 2009. Breakdown on what I did is on the reel. For more videos and tutorials, check out my website at www.davidbokser...
Yeah, it was all weight painting. I use around 6 - 8 joints for the top and bottom lips, so around 16 joints total. The joints themselves are made with the muscle tools script shown in the reel, so it also handles the stretching across the lip and the curls.
not really any serious problems, I guess I just suck a painting weights. I think I had too many pull off ctrls and bones on the lips of my character. The pucker was frustrating. how many bones are the lips influenced by? I'm curious about the fall off of that left corner off the mouth too, was that all just painted weights as well?
not really any real problems, I just suck at painting weights I guess, I think I had too many pull off ctrls and bones for the lips too. I think the pucker and curling the lips was the most frustrating thing for me, also was all the influence on that far left corner of the mouth all across the rest of the mouth from painting as well?

nice reel. i'm trying to get my all bone face setup to be as smooth as yours
excellent. i especially love the gils face. very good deformations. do you use mel/python for your tools. or any external plugin scripting?
Thanks! it's all MEL/Python.
