In this Maya tutorial we cover the firing of muscles in the face in response to thought in the brain. The face is a complex machine that when operating correctly can bring about a great deal of emotion and entertainment with our audience. To create good facial animations it is critical to understand the system under the surface that creates expression. We'll dive deep into the muscle system of the face as well as cover a number of good tips for making dynamic and interesting expressions.
