Thank you so much! I struggled to find a good 2D mouth tutorial, and often found it really hard to follow along with the ones I did find. But this tutorial was easy, and had a great result! Thank you. Have a burrito🌯

Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

[justcallmecat]

Can I draw my own teeh and tongue for this? No offense but this one looks so generic

[JayLight-ne]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Now i can make my own character with this!

[ralfanater]

is there a way for the teeth to change shape, you know to make it sharper or rounder.

[Bemmu]

Fantastic tutorial. Although it took me 4 hours to follow these 22 minutes 😅 But you always explained things so clearly there wasn't ever a moment of doubt about how to do the next step.

@mumumundo Could you technically set up drivers linked to the appleARkit blend shapes that would allow you to control a 2d mouth rig like this with iPhone facecap?

[thereel_real]

This tutorial was really helpful! Tysm!

Una pregunta, el objetivo de opaca cuando lo renderizo en evee, hay una solución?

[peterszakos]

Hi, thank you for this tutorial. This is really far the best 2D mouth tutorial that I have seen so far, and I have seen a lot 🙂
One question however: is there a way to have shape keys with this setup? Or maybe in other words, can I just somehow create several fix mouth expressions and than use them when I need them? Maybe it's a silly question, but I am quite new in Blender and I just cannot find an easy way to animate a mouth or eyes throughout a cartoon. Posing bones in every second seems a bit too weird to me.
Thank you for your answer in advance.

el problema surge cuando quiero mover todo, osea la cabeza junto con la boca, se deforma y no queda la boca en su posicion

[EijiSumi-ds]

Could you kindly tell us how to add constraint or bind to mesh so that it will move with face?

[tapikoBlends]

wow, bravo
thank you for sharin
<3

[jam-etc]

can we do this with pre-illustrated textures, instead of just generated math textures?

[wings]

[ESousa-dnvs]

at 3:12 when i click on thesubdivison surface, the colors of the mouth disappear
