Hi, I’m Indra
I’m doing a project to animating nursery rhyme, and the song is Baba Black Sheep,
honestly this is my first to rigging a face, because previously I use morpher to change the expression.
Which one is better, rig the head first, or completing the model and start to rig all?
What plugin is in the video link attached? maybe I will use that.
Can I link the head rig to body rig? I’m using CAT anyway. Many thank you.

Indra.

Glad you’re trying out facial rigging with CAT! It’s fine to make and rig the head separate from the body, as long as you’re not concerned about having a smooth neck area. With cartoon characters, it’s often fine to have a ridge where the head meets the neck. If that’s your character design, then I’d say continue working on the head and do the body later.
