If you want to use this rig for animations make sure you go to the shader and set frames to 1, disable Cyclic, and enable Auto Refresh. This way the face doesn't change every frame and it only changes when you set keyframes on the location of the bone in pose mode.

you need to set the "frames" to " 1 " as blender now plays back animated textures, whereas the offset actually offsets it. @@webdog3667

Few problems I ran into, and how I fixed them: 1. When I uploaded my files, it created more than one plane. Make sure all your files have the same name and are in numeric order. Also, I'm not sure why, but if I selected files that were the same dimensions, all the files in the folder would be in the plane, even if I did not select them. 2. The bone was not changing the offset value of the face. I had to change the up/down value of the bone to something other than 0, then it worked perfectly. Hope this helps!

It blends 3D and python, hence its name :)

For those having trouble with the shrink-wrap stage, make sure to go into Edit Mode for your face plane and subdivide it a bunch. This should give it geometry to actually wrap to

I just used PixlrX (Free) to make some face slides with some circles (on Normal) and some squares (set to Alpha/Erase). It's not as "cool" as hand drawn eyes but you can get away with a surprising amount with just 2D shapes. I'd highly recommend giving it a go 🦊👍@@pixel__lord

This is a wonderful tutorial! It simplifies a complex process into easy steps to follow. Thank you very much Shotty!

I used your previous 2D video to rig a lot of things, this update really helps, thanks!!

W video. it explained so many questions other tutorials have left unexplained. i Love your teaching style. thank you so much!

Once again! Thank you very much for this tutorial! You have made it really clear and easy to understand.

Following directly, explanation is so clear

In case anyone was stumped for a bit like I was, after importing the images, if you have a purple square just move forward a frame on your timeline and it should then be your first set of eyes!

That's a great way of doing it. I've seen other ways, but none that give this ease of animating.

This is exactly something i've been wanting a tutorial on for so long XD Now i wanna see someone take this and work it into a rig that can be used with VRChat!!

ive learned so much from you since yr first 2D facial rig in 2020, thank u again

Super helpful! Thank You!!

If you don't want to use a rig, you can make a custom property for the face object set to integer and use that as a driver for the node value. Though perhaps the object data also has a place to change the frame value for that matter?

WOW, this is something new for me in blender! I will try ^^ Thanks

I'm a complete newbie to Blender here and just wanted to thank you for your tutorial. It's really helpful all the time.

just when i think i learn alot about blender in a month, this man comes out with a new vid

I recently got that old shapekey GUI slider driver addon working on 3.0. It works well if you copy the driver off the shapekey into the respective texture's frame offset, albeit without the needed GUI polish obviously

Amazing tutorial, thank you!

WOW! very nice and clean tutorial..straight to topic. You have earned by subscription ❤❤❤

Thanks for the tutorial and files to play with and explore. Just last night I put on Nick Jr for my 2 year old niece, and saw some very similar face animations on 3D characters. I was wondering how to do such a thing, then this shows up in my recommendations. Cheers. Happy to subscribe to your awesome channel.

One thing you forgot to mention is to put number 1 on the frames box node, because in other wise the sequence repeats all the time when we play,.

This is amazing!!! Is there anyway to change the scale of the eyes without affecting the scale of the mouth?

Incase you want to duplicate the rig to multible characters, you need make the face material a single-user copy (the number right to the material name) and also the image sequences. And don't forget to replace the new bone name for each rig in the python expression.

youre the best dude. i love you man. thank you for this information!

Thanks a lot! Can you import these animations to unity or you need to adjust something?

Am i missing the link of where to get the rig?

nice work. how can animators work in solid view to increase scene optimisation? blender does not update shader nodes in solid mode

The real question is why there is no value input for that shader node… but I guess you’d still need a driver if you wanted a controller in the viewport.

hello, what do i do if i want these facial rigs for a duplicate character? the facial expressions are linked for all characters how do i separate them?

My image sequence isn't updating when I move the bone in pose mode, but only in object mode, any idea why? Great tutorial anyway!

Hey SouthernShotty I just wanted to ask but in murder drones with how they change the faces for example into words or the murder x faces then do they just use a whole bunch of sprites and put it together? Could you basically just attempt to tell me your guess on how they went about it?

Where do u guy your facial images from? I assume from the same website since they are the same thickness and art style

So I own the crafty asset pack but dont see the facial rig anywhere to be found? Only see textures models and particles...

So how can i pack them into blend ? When I use image sequence and press pack resouces, I am seeing that no new files added and i am not able to pack them into blend hope you will reply

any tutorial in how to make this for Unreal Engine 5? To make our character change expression if he attacks for example

does it matter what size the png should be for the eyes? I imagine it would probably depend on the model

hmm if I import as plane and image sequence, it just places them next to each other, and the shader does not have the image sequence setting, if I change it to that it turns the image purple and when i shuffle frames nothing happens. This is on Windows in 3.6
