Simulating Genesis 8/9 FACS facial movements in a Genesis 2 model
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KN-TfDj-QU
FACS, or Facial Action Coding System, in layman's terms means that we all use many face muscles at the same time to make one simple movement, and every human being uses essentially the same movements when making facial expressions.
Genesis 9 has incorporated FACS into the model, and Genesis 8 has the ability to use FACS. I am experimenting with using morphs to simulate FACS in Genesis 2 for use in VaM 1.X.
The first video shows Daz Studio with the movement "mouth corners up/down" in Genesis 8, and then my simulated version in Genesis 2. The second video shows the Genesis 2 "mouth corners up" and my simulated FACS version in VaM.

Hey Ash, thanks for all your great resources. I have an idea for a lip synch utility. It would allow you to sync up voice clips to lip movements (phonemes) and save individual lip synch animations. It is something I think you could help with. Just a thought, if you would like to check it out: https://hub.virtamate.com/threads/system-for-lip-syncing-mouths.29142/#post-77886
