Mouth Controls

The mouth control operates inversely to most contemporary rigs - a historical legacy from my earliest rig design. However, you'll find its logic becomes intuitive with practice.

Main Controller

Move the controller upward to open the mouth, downward to close:
Basic Mouth Controller - Vertical Movement


Slide horizontally to adjust mouth width:
Basic Mouth Controller - Horizontal Adjustment


Sub-Controllers

The central yellow controllers manage lip corners:
Lip Corner Controllers


Enable round_mouth in Properties Panel for automatic circular shaping without manual adjustment:
Round Mouth Automation


Teeth Controllers

Position teeth controllers (circled) vertically:
Teeth Controllers

The Auto_Teeth property controls following strength with mouth center (red cube):

  • Min 0: No follow
  • Max 1: Full follow
    Teeth Follow Property

Advanced Mouth Shaping

Directly manipulate mouth region squares for custom shapes:
