Muscles of the Face


    You'll want to conform to the anatomy of how facial muscles are aligned to get a good rig. 
    With the brows, the actual shape of the brow comes from the skeleton, and that doesn't move, so eyebrows are skin that is being pulled and stretched over the brow. The actual brow ridge doesn't move. 

Phonemes and Visemes

    A phoneme is the basic unit of sound in a spoken language. Aka the sound
    A Viseme is the facial expression made as you sound out a phoneme or a set of phonemes.

UE5 Joint Naming Convention

    The entire skeleton hierarchy of the UE5 mannequin. Putting these here because I can't be bothered to keep opening up the mannequin skeleton in maya every time I need to reference it.
