Dear all,
does anyone know what the facial expressions found in the control rig library are based on? I have read somewhere that the facial control rig itself is influenced by the FACS by Paul Ekman but it’d be very useful for me to know if the same logic was applied when creating the expressions as well.
Thanks in advance!
I’m assuming you’re asking if there is a scientific basis for the saved expressions? I doubt it. Most likely whoever created those face pose assets just tweaked parameters and saved the collection of parameters. You can see how to use those face expressions here.
I’m not affiliated w/ Metahumans in any way. This is just an educated guess based on my experience with rigging and animation.
Yes, that’s what I meant.
I was wondering because here it is more or less said there is a scientific basis and that is achieved by using FACS as a reference. I assume this would also apply to the facial expression library, but I wasn’t sure and couldn’t find any information on that either.
In any case, thanks for your reply!
