Mouth Corner Rig Demo. No Shape Keys used (I usually use them only if everything else fails)

@zickkie mesmerizing  I see you are using a cage of bendy bones. Correct? But what are the red lines?
@lazyerv Corect. As for rhe red lines - they are also the bones, they serve as something that defines/captures what actiion is it now. E.g. when the mouth corner goes up the red bone "smile" is squashing (becomes shorter) so that its length (Y Scale) executes the corrective action suitable for the smile pose. And so on.
@zickkie thanks for the info. It sure seems a lot of work! Very impressive 👍
