When audience connect with the characters on an emotional level, and the interaction becomes deep and meaningful. I believe that the characters with the genuine, rich facial expression makes the interaction possible. It is one of the reason I fell in love with facial rigging. I started building a facial system to find the best combination between art / technology and accuracy / flexibility. With a help of some of the experts, I developed the face system called “arFace” that creates robust and expressive facial rigging written with python.
