In-game Bone driven face expression
in-game face deformation prototype for SIGGRAPH 2005 MAYA masterclass.
this face model is has 2458 triangle polys. the face is fully driven by 36 bones. It provides more flexible and natural deformation and animation than morph-target based face animation.

extreme face deformation #1
deformation #2
deformation #3
deformation #4
Yeah okay, I hear you. It doesn't look like he is laghing. Needs more adjustment it needed...
Deformation #5
There are some normal map artifacts look like texture streching around upper lid.
variation
it took 5-6 weekend
