Description

Download this zip file to get two new blender 279 scripts which allow you to save an expression in a text file and import it later when you want to reuse it.

Install the scripts in your startup file for blender 279. When you open blender, the scripts should appear on the file menu under export and import, respectively.

To use the export script, first load a head and setup the desired expression in pose mode by moving the face bones (translations only...rotations are not saved).

When you are satisfied, invoke file->export->Export Expression to save the face bone positions. All face bone locations are saved (the armature must be selected).

To import the expression, select the armature of the character you want to wear the expression and invoke file->Import->Import Expression.

If you wish, you can delete the unused bones from the text file so that only the relevant bones are imported. For example, if you are doing visemes, you might delete all of the bones except the mouth controls and the adams apple (the adams apple controls the bottom teeth). This makes it possible to combine different expressions together in the scene.

The zip contains expression files for neutral, eyes closed, and mouth open.
