I've rigged a few custom character models with facial animation and it's not actually that hard to be honest.
The "quality" comes from how good your morphs are, how many you have and rig then. I have a gut feeling Alyx uses more than the default shapekey set but all the models I've made use the stock shapekey set. It's not my greatest work (someone else model + morphs targets) but I was asked to rig the Candy model from Dinohunters. Thats a complete custom model with the full set of morph shapekeys. I've done quite a few others and written a few tools to help in the process but nothing thats out there yet. - Jed On 25/03/2008, Sam Goldwater <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Can anyone think of examples of Alyx quality facially rigged custom > characters?
