<aside> 💡 When you work on the facial rig, it’s important to be sure to be on the good model. For rig purpose, the head is duplicated 3 times. Each part of the rig (mouth, local control, etc…) work on a specific mesh. Be sure to be on the good one with ‘Select Related Mesh’

With ‘auto’ every time you switch to another topic, the related mesh will be selected.

• Local controls are really powerfull. They are skin controls that goes AFTER the blend shape deformation. That does mean when you activate a blend shape, the controls follow and you can tweak the shape on top. Check this out :

• To create a local control, select vertices, and name hit by yourself, or with the pre fill area. With the Skin Falloff you can choose the skin amount of the surrounding vertices of your selection.

• Mirror the local with the ‘Mirror’ Button if you want.
• hit ‘make’. The local now appear in the list

• With the square shape, you can rotate the local base if needed

• With the Right Mouse Button you have options :

  

  • Mirror Selected : Mirror the current local to the right side
  • Select Rivet Shape : Select the shape of the rivet base (the square)
  • Delete : Delete the selected local
  • Make it prebind for all related skinCluster : If the current local should influence other meshes (eyebrow for instance) this will apply the ‘preBind’ feature (the one that allow to influence AFTER the blend shape) to all meshes linked to this local.
  • From virewort : select the local in the list fron the selection in the viewport
  • Get vtx : select vertices influenced from this local
  • Get mirror Vtx : Same, for the mirror
  • Toggle local axis : Show/hide local axis of the locals
  • Toggle rivet vis : show/hide rivet base (the square shape)
  • Repair : if something get wrong with the prebind, try this.
  • Repair bad names : if after some undo, some names are bad in the list, try this
  • Sort alphabeticaly : sort rivet in the list
  • New place : Select a rivet in the list, a vertex. This will move the local in the new vertex place.

• Create as much as locals you want.
