Move all details in the higest subdivision with maya blend shape (lowest subd)

[davinsaputra]

so ive been diving into the world of facial rigging with a friend of mine who is an amazing rigger. I’ve looked a lot of rigging tutorial and this one is really the one that we both want to look like in the end (this is for film, so a lot of thing will be sculpted using texturing.xyz displacement map)

Judd Simantov on character rigging and modeling in Naughty Dog's The Last of Us

its all joint based based on facs which is amazing.

So my question is:

1. I have a idle face, sculpted with all the details
2. I have a face rigged and skinned to some poses
3. I want to move the details based on that pose in zbrush 3d layers

how do i do that?

cuz imma add some more layer for the wrinkle maps which then i export as displacement map.

Thank you

I think what you want are tension maps. So google that. You’d have your neutral face sculpt, a wrinkled/squashed version and a stretched version, and then the rigger would dial in the information from those depending on what the joints were doing.

There is also animated displacement. I haven’t used tension maps but I have used this. I did it for a basic facs set up. But my rig was all blend shapes with set driven keys just set to controls, no joints, so I don’t know if it’s right for you. But you could look that up also.
