Durian Project: Sintel Face Test 01

Just a quick test to see how far I can get with a bone-only deformation setup for the mouth area.
The final rig will use a mix of this and shape keys.

@NobleValerian Yes, which explains why the title is "Durian Project: Sintel Face Test 01"

how could a 'bone only' motion cause a frown?

She has hollow eyes...

[NobleValerian]

This is part of the Durian project, right?

They don't use a human bone structure. They made a set of ovals and circles and wrapped a skin around those. Because they don't have to worry about stability and protecting the brain (3D models don't have brains), they can use a large number of small "bones" to try and imitate a real human head.

@farvision

you could try to set the mesh up the right way and hope you get some wrinkles.

otherwise you can do some good stuff with weightpainting
