Looking for tuts on facial animation setup

[swiss_cheese9797]

I have searched for such tutorials but I have not found any. I know how to do the actual morphing animations themselves and exporting the file shouldnt be too hard, but I must have a list of all the hl2 models' facial expressions to include as well as how to setup the QC file. Stupid me, I stumbled upon a list some months back but I cannot for the life of me find it again. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

There is this here but i dont think it is so much a tutorial

http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Character_Facial_Animation_Shapekey_Set

But have a look around on the website there might be some info that will help you.

http://www.hl2world.com/wiki/index.php/Creating_facial_animations_with_VTA_files

Maybe have a look at that link as well.

yes, that first link is the one i found long ago. Thanks a ton. And Stormy, whats that plugin for max that lets you map and export game file formats? I've been trying to locate that again too.

You need to download the .SMD exporter, i think this is what you mean

Also try out the cannon fodders compiling tools.

I mean for mapping not for modeling
