Hey everyone, In this tutorial I am going to show you the most versatile and useful 2d facial rig that I could put together. It offers a lot of features and was designed to allow easy integration into other characters, control over animated textures, and ease of access by utilizing Blender's built-in Asset Library. I hope this video is entertaining as well as educational.
