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 — instantly generate blendshapes and rigs for 3D models, streamlining the production process.

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

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

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

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

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

✨ Key Features

🎛 Rig Manager

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

  • Batch Creator — automatically generate a complete rig from object parameters.

  • Custom Creator — design custom controllers from scratch or modify existing ones.

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

🎭 BlendShape Tools

  • Split & Mirror — sculpt symmetrically or mirror changes across paired controllers.

  • Bake All Objects — generate BlendShapes for skipped or unbaked objects.

  • Default Bake Edit — directly edit bakes with intuitive search and efficient scene management.

  • Create Modification — batch update all bakes after model adjustments.

  • Corrective Expression — fine-tune rigs and create unique facial expressions.

🟢 ReTopology

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

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

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

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

🛠 Essential Tools

  • Attach New Object — connect new meshes or replace existing ones while keeping full Bake System integration.

  • Core Tools Panel — access frequently used functions like Generate, Reset, Edit, and DualPanel directly in the main UI.
