i've been trying to make different expressions for her. do i sepparate the expressions or do i keep them all in one sheet? i want to get them as pixel perfect as possible

Really depends on how you want to animate it.
Want it have a quick and instant emotion change? Use separate bones for that
Want it to look natural with proper face movement? Rig the eyes and add a mouth with interchangeable shape

#

quick and instant actually, my problem is with the uvs not being perfect

sand aspen
#

What do you mean by UV not perfect?

topaz furnace
#

it doesn't fully alight with the original, it could be a little bit bigger than the original face or something and it bugs me out. and i wanna know if there's an easier way of doing this

#

i thought of using mesh for the face only tbh

sand aspen
#

How about this

#

Make a separate bone for faces only, and make only the expression there

#

make the base head faceless, then give the expressions using the separate bone and cube

topaz furnace
#

hm, maybe i can try that

#

so, the face could be like the head layer, just thinner?

sand aspen
#

yep

#

sp you dont have to make multiple heads

topaz furnace
#

my child is gonna be faceless, oh god

sand aspen
#

only faces

topaz furnace
#

i'm thinking of the faces too, do i just like, make them into one big sheet of expressions or do i separate each one as a file

#

bc i thought that there's be times i need a custom expression

sand aspen
#

Making them into one could be better if you want to use multiples
I think the only times you would need single ones is because you might need to find a certain face in a big image

topaz furnace
#

a file with multiple faces could work, maybe fit about 6 and then make another file for more expressions like bundles?

sand aspen
#

yeah something like that could work

#

separate them or bundle them, whichever ones you prefer

topaz furnace
#

i prefer bundles ig, lol

sand aspen
#

But if you wanted them to be animated, single ones are more preferable

#

If they just stay still then bundles is better
