FACS Poses ReferenceĪnimateable heads use the Facial Action Coding System (FACS) as a universal system that allows modelers and animators to reference similar facial features and head mesh across different head models. This guide includes several project files you can use for reference and covers details on time-saving steps, such as auto-skin transfer. See Creating Face Accessories for step-by-step instructions on setting up a reference model as a face accessory. When created correctly, equipped accessories stretch and deform as the head animates and emotes. Similar to creating heads, you can design and model face accessories using a third-party modeling software and import the models as a cosmetic Accessory in Studio. This guide includes several reference files you can use to compare and track your progress. For step-by-step instructions on how to add face bones, apply skinning, posing, and mapping poses on a head model in Blender, see Creating Basic Heads. Using third-party modeling tools, you can either modify a rigged character model to meet head requirements, or create a head from scratch.

You can animate any supported head through the Animation Editor by manually setting poses on the animation track, using the Face Animation Editor to quickly create complex expressions, or using the Animation Capture tool to automatically track facial movements from your webcam.Īfter you create, save, and publish a head animation to Roblox, you can play the animation from a script or replace a character's default animation with your new animation.
