TFM Features

Fast Rigging

Like The Setup Machine, The Face Machine uses a simple “face widget” to rig your character. Just fit it to your mesh and hit rig! Fast Rigging


Intelligent Auto-Weighting

TFM’s intelligent weighting technology is capable of automatically recognizing the difference between an upper lip and a lower lip on most faces, cutting down manual weight cleanup time to a fraction of what’s needed for other influence-based face rigs. Intelligent Weighting


Integrated Interface

A special schematic window, embedded in each TFM character, allows you to select facial controls with unparalleled ease. Integrated Interface


Direct Control

Just grab your character’s face controls and start posing! The Face Machine eliminates clumsy blend shape sliders and puts you in control of your character’s expressions. Direct Control


Custom Box Controls

With its simple box control creation interface, TFM makes multidimensional sliders a snap to create. Box Controls


Pose Saving and Recall

TFM allows you to easily save a pose into the characters very own personal facial pose library, either locally for your own use or on a server for use by a team of animators. The library interface comes complete with thumbnails for easy pose referencing. Pose Saving and Recall


Auto Deformation Manipulation

The Face Machine's rig gives you control over fine-tuning every aspect of your character's face. Auto deformation values can be easily adjusted to allow for even MORE detailed control of your poses. Pose Saving and Recall
