Lips Shapes

This module offers direct control over the tension and volume of the lips.

Tightness:  

Pulls the lips inward as if tensing them.  

Useful for expressions like anticipation, stress, or closed-mouth tension.

Compress:  

Squeezes the lips together along the vertical axis.  

Ideal for closed-mouth shapes, phonemes like “M” or “P”, or for adding subtle compression during transitions.

These shapes help reinforce mouth deformation during stylized or realistic facial performances.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sticky Lips

This module simulates the natural adhesive tension between the lips during speech or mouth movement.

Vertical Sliders (Top/Bottom Rows): 

Each slider controls the offset of a specific lip section.  

Moving the handle downward (top row) or upward (bottom row) increases the "sticky" resistance in that area—useful for animating gradual release or fine-tuned tension across the lips.

AUTO Slider:

Enables automatic sticky lips behavior.  

When active, the lips will stay slightly sealed and gradually separate as the       mouth opens, mimicking realistic adhesion without manual keyframes.

Sticky Lips adds subtle realism to talking, yawning, and emotional expressions involving compressed lips.

Mouth Shapes

MouthPurse (R-L, U-D)  

Contracts the lips inward to create a tight "oo" or kissing shape. Commonly used for phonemes like "w" or expressive pouting.

LipTightness (R-L, U-D)  

Applies tension across the lips, sharpening the mouth shape. Ideal for angry expressions, holding back emotion, or stressed poses.

MouthFunnel (R-L, U-D)

Shapes the lips into a circular funnel, simulating a vocal "oo" or "oh" sound. Useful for phoneme-based animation and emphasis.

MouthPress (R-L, U-D)  

Vertically compresses the lips together to close or flatten them. Often used to suggest internal pressure or silence.

MouthShrug (R-L, U-D)  

Lifts the entire mouth shape upward in a curved shrug motion. Adds stylized movement or subtler facial nuance.

MouthRoll (R-L, U-D)  

Rolls the lips inward, tucking them slightly under. Commonly paired with tense expressions or stylized lip closures.

Expressions

The Expressions module provides a curated set of predefined facial combinations for quick and expressive posing. Each slider triggers a complex interaction of facial controls to represent common emotional states like Angry, Sad, Happy, Fear, or Laugh — ideal for storytelling, character performance, or keyframe blocking.

These expressions are fully editable: you can mix, animate, or override them using the detailed facial controls at any time.

Visemes

Visemes are mouth shapes corresponding to phonemes — the distinct sounds in speech. This module includes a full range of phoneme-based poses such as CH, O, FF, TH, or aa, each carefully crafted to fit natural lip sync.

These visemes can be used as-is or blended manually for fine-tuned control over dialogue animation. Combined with the tongue and lip modules, they form a complete solution for high-quality facial animation in spoken sequences.
