This is by far the best tutorial about rigging. Thank you so much for such awesome content. Keep up the good work.

[chidozietochukwu]

To be honest this is one of the most helpful and best tutorial video I have seen. No issues following along, you didn’t perform any magic like most YouTubers. It was just perfect.. bless up man, you rock!

[anomalyraven]

I keep coming back to this video because all the steps are so easy to follow. And when I think I got the hang of it and get stumped on a problem, just back tracking and making sure I didn't skip a step usually solves it and I learn why it happened. Great tutorial!

Best video for face rig actually. I made a list on problems you can get and how to fix them
1. If you get a error on mixamo saying "Sorry, unable to map your existing skeleton" try to fill your holes in your caracter. If that doesnt work remove all normal maps from ur material. Dont ask me why but it did work for me.
2. After u imprt your fbx character in ur blender scene and zero out the rig you will need to create a face rig as in the video showing. Dont miss that you have to upgradde your face rig and do that super copy thing. If you having problem with face ctrl then try to rotate the rig to another axis. I got a lot of problems here because for some reason it just worked when i rotated my character and face joints. Also dont forget to apply your objects and even clear it!
