Setting the Face Keys

1. Make sure you have prepped an actor and the current time frame is within an existing motion clip. Launch the Face Key Editor.
   
2. Select the desired facial features to set keys in the pane.
   
3. If you are using the mouse as your input device, then press and hold the left-mouse button inside the interactive area.
4. Drag the mouse in the interactive area to make the changes.
   
   You may pick multiple facial features to simultaneously move them.
   

If you do not want to set an expression, one facial feature at a time; then it is recommended that you use templates. Especially for Sprite-based faces.

1. Switch to the Template tab.
2. Select a category from the Expression Style drop-down list.
   
3. In the Template Library pane, double-click on the desired template. The actor will instantly change to the selected expression.
   
4. Change the Expressiveness values to adjust the strength of the applied expression.

   Expressiveness = 20	Expressiveness = 80

If you use the Facial tab to set facial keys, then you are actually modifying the values of each slider in the Modify tab.

Therefore, you can use the sliders inside of this tab to fine-tune the values for each facial feature.

1. Switch to the Modify tab.
   
2. Drag the slider to change the value, the selected character will then change the facial expression accordingly.

   Shrink Nose is set to minimum.	Shrink Nose is set to maximum.

   Note:

   Please note that each template is a combination of different values from the facial feature sliders.
