FleX Mouth Shape "O"

Date:	08/03/2014
Submitted by:	NathanaelXavier

Hey Juan,

I managed to get a kind of "O" mouth shape with FleX. It's not amazing but it gets the job done and it looks alright.
Just check out the attached screenshot.

1. Go to the FleXpression Editor and select "mouth_ctrl" (the green line on top of the lips). You need to adjust the "Stretch Squash" value (a negative value)
2. Use the red and blue control sliders around the mouth to open up the lips a bit more.
3. His teeth/tongue are in the way which makes it look like he is saying "Shhh" so just move the teeth/tongue controls up/down to get them out of the way.

That's it! I know it's not amazing, but check out FleX 2.0! It is MUCH better than 1.0.
Hope this helps, and if there's anything else that you're having trouble with just let me know.

Regards,
Nathanael
