Hello! So I've been thinking really hard how to tackle this facial rig right now. I'm not allowed to show it but it's something like the facial rigs of VTubers made in Live2D. I'm not sure how to go about in making the mouth rig. I saw a perfect GIF in one of the old threads here

and it's what I want to achieve - but for an anime girl face like this.

I have a lot of mouths to choose from, but I want it to transition smoothly from one type to another. Like from 🙂 to :o. I hope I'm making sense :grinfake. I'm wondering how the mouth rig in the boy GIF is made? I already have the inside of the mouth and tried to add a mouth 'frame' on top of it. But I can't seem to set it up right. Any examples or ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hello!
The boy's mouth is made with the same pieces the girl in the gif below would have:
upper lip, lower lip, teeth up, teeth down, tongue, mouth isides.
The mouth is controlled through two paths, one for the upper lip and one for the lower lip, and it overall should have around 4 bones to control each side of the mouth with path constraints.
I hope this clearns things out! if not, you may be in luck, as I'll actually rig a similar mouth very soon, and I'll likely record the process!

Oh so it is made with paths! That definitely makes sense, I'll try that out now. I'd love to see your recording, it would be most helpful. Thanks for the response!
