Easy Mouth Rig in Blender

[@RavenclawNimbus]

10:46 when he says "ctrl click" I think it's changed to alt click

[@RavenclawNimbus]

Oh dang lol I’m pinned Just thought I’d say your videos are amazing 👍

[@JoeyCarlino]

Thanks! I pinned this on some other videos but I forgot about this one

[@NormIy]

This is by far the most simple and detailed blender tutorial I’ve ever watched

So I've binge watched this tutorial a first time, then a second time while trying to reproduce it step by step, then a third time and then back and forth in the video to find where was my error, because my result was not good. Few hours later, I realized I'd missed the "be sure to have the Auto Normalize checked". Then some more time to experiment the options of weight paint. At the end, I've learned a lot. Thank you for this awesome tutorial.

[@thequestioner277]

Loved this tutorial, straight to the point, no annoying bad jokes, no annoying loud songs. Congrats.

[@MurcuryEntertainment]

No obnoxious graphical transitions...

[@selgesel]

I'm almost 6 minutes in and for me it's practically a masterclass in non-destructive block modeling. The topology is so incredibly clean that it's a marvel to look at. Kudos!

[@Jeppz85]

6:08 if anyone has an issue with beveling the teeth, make sure you apply the scale first with ctrl A

[@ethanhurd]

I wish I could like this comment a few more times. Thank you.

[@erz3030]

Holy moly what an excellent and in depth tutorial! This clearly took a lot of work to produce. Cheers mate

[@robrexanimationstudios9414]

Your videos are what I have been looking for. When I started using blender I was terrified because I couldn’t model characters, navigate, make rigs, etc. I especially was terrified of lip sync but your tutorials are so in-depth and detailed even though the result is simple and stylized. Thank you.

[@ghostpeppered4524]

- Professional animation quality mouth rig - Easy TO USE (though requires a bit of time to setup) - Simple/minimal character face model I was expecting a flapping lips animation, but was pleasantly surprised when you went all the way. Thanks, great tutorial!

[@AntonioGuadagno]

Around 10 and half minutes he says to CTRL + Click to select the bones, then the screen shows SHIFT + Click. Not sure if it's a MAC thing, but on Mac, I had to CTRL + SHIFT + Click for it to work. If you're having trouble, try that. Great walkthrough and a serious help for the rigging and weight painting especially!

[@pyam_to_go]

u saved me, thanks >w

[@megalobanter3997]

for me alt+click works too, hope it helps ya avoid pain on your fingers

[@eoumz]

this works! thank you so much, i also realized you have to be in bone selection for it to work as well.

[@StriderWolf]

holy crap this is the best tutorial on rigging Ive ever seen. and Ive seen a lot. you make it so simple and straight forward. everything is so clear and concise. I think this one video did more to help me in just 30 minutes than the literal hours of content Ive watched from other tutorials did. this is great

[@artoriusveritas]

Right off the bat the construction of the head is incredible. Such an efficient workflow omg

[@Kimb4000]

This is one of the best Blender tutorials I have watched. I am an instant fan of your channel!

[@slemhosta0]

I made my first mouth rig with this tutorial! Super easy to follow and with great results! Thank you!

[@Reddie.P]

Your tutorial is just top-notch! Can't say how much I love and appreciate it! Thank you !!

[@stijnd.6320]

This is the only tutorial I’ve found that has clearly explains how to create and rig a mouth without skipping any steps. Amazing work, thanks

[@girishbanua]

That's what I was searching for, from centuries 😭...finally I got it❤️ You deserve all the happiness in the world man❤️

[@gustaf3344]

Yooo!! Thank you so much man, this tutorial helped me a LOT, and i mean like a LOT!! If not you, i would be probably stuck here searching the internet for hours for a tutorial on this. So thanks a lot man, i hope to see more helpful tutorials like this one. 👍🍪

[@yardenlapid895]

you are incredible man! no nonsence talking, very clear and so thorough. I started from scrarch with blender two weeks ago and I'm able to create my own charechters with amazing riggs and it's all thanks to you! thank you so much ❤

[@trinumedia]

Nicely done! Jam packed with a good summery.

[@elideeart7239]

Thank you so much! Most tutorials about rigging that I'm finding rely on the rigify addon, so I'm trying to stitch together a handful of others so that I know what I'm doing

[@YousefHOTF]

this is the one best mouth rig tutorial i have ever found, keep the good work.

[@catkittycatc4t]

love how you also started whistling while showcasing how the character can do it xD

[@Songbearer]

What a wonderful and easy to follow tutorial! My first animation had me really struggling with faces but now I've gone back to starting from scratch, following this taught me so much!!

[@hylianspots8681]

listening to an expert mindfully narrate what they're doing can truly be- just as if not more- educational than an over explained beginner tutorial Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@joshuahier1]

This was the final learning animating and rigging i got it by this one you showed how to do it not just says how to do it

[@eveready27]

I was looking for this type of tutorial for a simple but complete mouth rigg... great job!!

[@TomasHradckyComposer]

Pure excellence. I can't wait to model along. I feel this will give me both the skill and confidence to set up a good rig. Thank you.

[@Elomaramaro]

I'm learning 3D modelling and rigging, and I have to say: This is an awesome tutorial! Thank you so much!

[@Chrondon]

I’ve watched tons of Blender tutorials and Yours are are so good and well explained! Really great work! Your character modelling one specifically was so well articulated.

[@zevac]

this legendary video just single handedly successfully explained what shape keys are to me. amazing work, man!

[@SvenCheddar]

The first thing i said to myself is this looks so good then I laughed hysterically

[@a3dadventure79]

you've grown a lot since this. congrats dude! keep up the solid blender work!

[@writersblock8493]

Cracked me up when Joey was manipulating the rig in sync with what he was saying lol - enjoyed this tut sir - TY

[@Barnaclebeard]

Exactly what I needed.

[@MrKiraBR]

Thank you!

[@lucasolivio3995]

THANKYOUU!!!! Amazing video, helped me a lot!!

[@CinemaStudio_Guatemala]

I spent all day with this tutorial. I really enjoyed it and my result was as satisfying as yours. It took time, I am a beginner. Thanks to you, getting better.

[@berndfachinger6000]

Even Dikko doesn't bring it to a such understandable level. And I love Dikko and his work!

[@dimitridehouck9506]

This tutorial is pure gold! I always struggled with constraints and drivers, but you explain it kristal clear! Thank you so much for making this! I've learned a lot!!!

[@nachoagost8505]

I learned so many things for just one video

[@RyanByan]

[@muratfatih8062]

A clean well done tutorial. 👍

[@gregger5136]

Boi oh boi. Me head hurts. That was full knowledge from the fire hose. Great job my man.

[@alexandercoundouriotis4410]

10:50 if anyone is having an issue with selecting the bones with ctrl, make sure Paint Mask is deselected in the top left corner. It's the little gray square with white square. Was selected by default on my computer! :o)

[@TheRarenth]

IF anyone is having issues selecting the bones with CTRL, that's because he hit SHIFT instead and mis-spoke lol You can see the button presses he made in the video don't match

[@ToonyTinglesASMR]

This was great, i just finished rigging my whole character and i am proud with what came out🔥thank you

[@mytoonzfactory1946]

Very Useful for basic understanding face rig and Making control driver Thanks Joey Carlino

[@hooeymagoose12340]

Oh. My god. Thanks to you i'll probably have the best grade i'll ever have for my final project!

[@lorryburger8165]

[@Mamika_AFK]

Amazing tutorial ! I always find the mouth kinda complex but this helps a lot! Thank u very much, just subbed ☺️ 👍

[@unknownBoy85lover]

Extraordinary useful ❤

Absolute legend. This is fantastic!

[@UnylTyanNotThere]

Thank you! With your help I learned how to do this :D

[@sodemz]

thank you! im learning blender and making a rig for splatoon characters is my first practice task

[@asdfghjkl123asd]

I'm a newbie and this tutorial answered so many questions. Thanks dude.

[@mazzaferno3123]

Very cool use of drivers and shape keys. I've never consider that as an option until now.

[@Element4ry]

It's really amazing! I finally figured the shape keys and drivers thing thanks to the tutorial! Thanks!

[@hekane7645]

Thanks Joey, I just stumbled on this video after another, inferior tutorial video. It was so engaging I watched it all, even when it wasn't what I was looking for and my sauna turned off while watching. You should be teacher. Or a narrator, you have a good voice. Cheers.

[@Kurczakirobaki]

Exactly what I needed. Simple, comprehenxive. All around process from scratch even modelling...excellent work. Take my like and sub.

[@jefflawrence243]

Fantastic and information-rich tutorial! You explain everything thoroughly and it makes sense despite your speed in working through it (now to work through it step by step!). Seriously outstanding presentation, Joey -- many thanks and kudos.

[@devi_hydra8914]

Your rigging videos are so helpful in getting me to understand this stuff, thank you for your hard work :)

[@venomironx]

this is really amazing.. complex and not too hard to follow.. amazing skills

[@aintzanewilma1269]

thank you!!!! super helpful and easy to follow, totally a beginner-friendly tutorial :D

[@michaelcorleone8699]

Very well done. Learned some useful tips. Thank you!

[@vidyaWolf]

I learned so much just from this video and I didn't even use the rigging method, yet!

[@blasterfish2372]

[@JoeyCarlino]

Occasionally

[@portlandshell2]

Well done. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!

[@laureninarts]

If you had to make separate keyframes for the smile and the frown (I had to because a negative smile looked weird on the animal mouth I was making) Then you can simply edit the driver on the smile and change the Expression to Value*-10. That way Z axis movement will still control the smile and frown, but this will allow the smile to occur when going up and the frown should occur when going down. (Going down = moving the lips bone down on the z axis to clarify)

[@vuchsloch]

thank you for this lesson! the pacing is just perfect (for a beginner like me)

[@explorewithin]

I keep revisiting these tutorials because they are so helpful, thank you!!

[@khamissjd4389]

Just thanks for this tutorial

[@rogeriowoow8125]

This tutorial is perfect! you're the best!

[@scale...3d]

Thanks mate, your method of a mouth rig is really good. I especially like the way you sync both the bone movements and shape keys together. I will try this and let's see if I can come up with something good.

[@AnveshDunna]

Love this video. Learned a lot of new concepts and it was very clear.

[@lukdra]

Thanks, it took me 5 days to make this video, not every day I'm busy, I had time, I made it go back to replay it xd

[@JoeyCarlino]

That's dedication! Good job!

[@bvd2406]

Clear and concise. Good job

[@Unique_Mayor]

This is really good 👍, helped a lot 🎉

[@lukdra]

[@PuttyCAD]

Fantastic tutorial, just what I was looking for for my game character! Thank you!

[@Art-inventions]

Tnx Joey, this tutorial is phenomenal!!!,,short and to the point, audio is super clear!!!..

[@zurasaur]

great tutorial, your explanation of auto normalize was very helpful 👍

[@jemskid7]

Just subscribed. I was following Dikko's tutorials for modeling and rigging, but my man didn't explain how he got the teeth to move with the armature since I know the teeth are separate objects. Anyway, I'm super grateful for this straight forward tutorial!

[@wisemage0]

Thank you for telling me about the normalize tool.

[@somvisal2523]

this is excellent, clear explanation

[@kotarti]

Well done!

[@shin-ishikiri-no]

Not sure why but I found myself laughing at Alien Bobs jaw movements. This tutorial is perfect.

[@JacktheDamon]

This tutorial is so useful and detailed! Thank you!🔥🔥🔥

[@Blu-ray]

This saved me so much time thank you so much

[@UsamaIndieDev]

[@artimmy]

Really awesome tutorial! Please do eye rig next, please please please 😍

[@落花魂]

Thank you for this awesome tutorial.

[@Buster-jf8fz]

My jaw bone is going up and can't go down

[@chamilharshana]

great tutorial. thanks.

[@popfan125]

I find it easier to use shape keys to animate a mouth. Animating like that ain’t too hard for certain mouth shapes depending on the rig.

[@fabianoperes2155]

MAZING tutorial. I wonder how it would be different for an animal-like mouth rig. Like a kangaroo that has a big mouth projected forward along with its nose but needs to talk. Would it be possible to have the same level of control? An animal-like face rig would be a very appreciative tutorial.
