"Normally it would take me anywhere from 1 to 3 full days (depending on the demands of the project) to rig a face. I rigged my latest character in just under 30 minutes... and that was the FIRST TIME I used TFM!! I can only imagine how much faster it'll go the next time. :-)
One of the strengths of TFM is that it doesn't force you to animate in one specific way. You're not trapped within the boundaries of a blend shape but you still get the nice workflow of a "Face Box" system. The Face Machine gives small studios the ability to have professional rigs within their production pipelines"

"I rigged 10 faces of varying proportions in the time it took me to watch a movie! ... That's awesome!!"

"TSM [The Setup Machine] is the backbone of our rigging pipeline. When I tried The Face Machine I found it to be the right tool to complete our rigging department. Facial animation with a TFM rig is very animator-friendly.
The rigging process is quick and easy but is nothing when compared to the high quality of the installed facial setup and the powerful animation advantages it gives animators.
Working with a TFM setup was very comfortable and the control of the face shape is absolute. I found in TFM the tool that I had always wished for when dealing with facial animation... and the rig is easy to use! Much easier than I thought! It is indispensable!"

"I was able to incorporate The Face Machine into my short film in a matter of hours. My jaw hit the floor as my facial rig suddenly had capabilities I had only seen in behind the scenes footage of 3D feature films."

"The amount of controls ready for animation that you get in just a few minutes is simply amazing"
