Lips Builder - Helper Tool

€0+

Recently, I made this pretty intuitive little tool with the idea to help me and others at the modeling stage for the lips and eyelids area.
Those areas are usually one of the most tricky parts of the face in order to have something really clean rigging and blendshapes, with the goal to have nice and clean deformations.
To achieve this, we need to have a specific edge flow for those areas.

Here are those requirements:

- Number of spans needs to be pair.
- The corners needs to be thinner than the middle part.
- The spans needs to "radiate", they must be oriented in the way that they are perpendicular to the tangent of the lips all along.
- The more we get closed to the corners, the less distance we have between each spans.


It can be tricky to do all of this by hand, and pretty time consuming, so I made this little tool to help with that, you can move it, rotate it, scale wherever you want and just use at a reference for your lips/eyelids.

Here are the features available:

  • Bend
  • Thickness
  • Height (Scale X)
  • Tweakable number of spans
