YanusFACE

YanusFACE is an advanced tool for automated blendshape generation and rigging, designed to speed up your character production pipeline while keeping full creative control.


⚑ Core Benefits

  • Automated Blendshapes & Rigging β€” instantly generate blendshapes and rigs for 3D models, streamlining the production process.

  • Advanced Expression Editing β€” refine facial expressions with tools like Mirror, Split, Default Bake Edit, Create Modification, and Corrective Expression.

  • Seamless 3D Integration β€” import/export models to Blender, 3ds Max, and ZBrush for detailed sculpting and editing.

  • Industry Compatibility β€” built for MetaHuman and Advanced Skeleton, with adaptability for custom rigs and models.

  • Efficient Updates β€” attach new objects to meshes for quick adjustments without re-modeling.

  • Custom Model Support β€” with ReTopology, any model can be adapted to YanusFACE templates.


✨ Key Features

πŸŽ› Rig Manager

  • YanusSTUDIO RIG β€” our custom rig, designed as a cleaner and more professional alternative to MetaHuman.

  • Batch Creator β€” automatically generate a complete rig from object parameters.

  • Custom Creator β€” design custom controllers from scratch or modify existing ones.

  • Optimize β€” merge multiple controllers into a single one for cleaner workflows and easier sculpting.


🎭 BlendShape Tools

  • Split & Mirror β€” sculpt symmetrically or mirror changes across paired controllers.

  • Bake All Objects β€” generate BlendShapes for skipped or unbaked objects.

  • Default Bake Edit β€” directly edit bakes with intuitive search and efficient scene management.

  • Create Modification β€” batch update all bakes after model adjustments.

  • Corrective Expression β€” fine-tune rigs and create unique facial expressions.


🟒 ReTopology

  • Problem Solved β€” previously, custom models couldn’t be used due to mismatched topology with the YanusFACE template.

  • How It Works β€” select a Base (template) and a Target (your model), place control markers, then wrap your mesh to fit the base topology.

  • Result β€” your model is converted into YanusFACE-compatible topology with minimal quality loss.

  • Workflow β€” once retopology is done, you can apply all YanusFACE features (modifications, bakes, corrective expressions) directly to your own model.
