The rigging and skinning process depends on the character model and differs between tools and modelers. Complex features, such as eyes and mouth, might require several bones to make certain poses possible. Each poseable face feature of your head typically requires at least one bone. Face Bonesįace bones drive the bending and deformation of the face geometry.
You must map the RootFaceJoint so Studio can properly locate that joint and hide all of the children joints and their bones within the FaceControls instance on import. In Blender, you can quickly add a bone by extruding a child bone from the Head bone and then map the bone name as a property in the Head_Geo mesh. This RootFaceJoint bone does not control any vertices, but it must parent all other face bones. The RootFaceJoint is a bone that is parented under the standard R15 Head bone. However, in order for the facial rig to work properly, the rig must include a RootFaceJoint bone and additional face bones. Unlike rigging a humanoid model, Studio doesn't require a specific bone hierarchy for a head. Your character must have an internal bone structure to drive the vertices of the face geometry and make facial poses. This version doesn't include any facial rigging or pose data so you can use it as reference in this guide. You can follow along the rest of this head creation process using a rigged Cubie character that meets these modeling requirements. For more information, see Cage Mesh Requirements.
Outer cage - Make sure the character model has an outer cage to support face accessories and layered clothing. When modeling a character with a head, ensure the head mesh meets the Avatar character specifications for Studio import, as well as the following requirements: Many character models already include a head with distinct facial features, but they might require minor modeling adjustments for head compatibility.
