>>Advanced Face boning
I don't know if I would call it "advanced". I literally haven't watched any face rigging tutorials. I watched a few "for beginner" rigging tutorials. And they all start with "use rigify, and then delete the face, because we don't need it". So I've only gotten a glance at the rigify face skeleton before deleting all those bones. In the webm, I just placed bones where I thought would make good transformation points. I'm literally just learning as I go. Tinkering. So I can't provide you with tips I don't know myself.

Did you understand all I said about the armature constraint? I think the armature constraint is an unsung hero. As it allows a single bone to have multiple parents. Making the bone find the average between all of them. This is perfect for when you want a bone to float between two or more points.

It's not a good idea to create circular parenting. Where two bones are the parents of each other. Because like the other anon illustrated with average bias, you get a situation where the bones skew more and more as they move. The more movement, the more they escape their average range. Because it's going a fraction one way, then a fraction back, and when you multiply fractions, you get smaller and smaller numbers. Resulting in the bones not returning to their positions.

For example, I want to make it so the cheek bone is affected by the lip bone, and the lip bone is affected by the cheek bone. Because hypothetically, when you flex your cheeks, your lips move, and when you flex your lips, your cheeks move. It makes sense to me to assign them both ways, creating that circular parenting. But when I do that, the bones start moving wacky. So I have to decide what is going to move what. I decided that the lips will move the cheek. I see the mouth movement being dominant. More proactive. While cheek muscles are more reactive. So the cheek is the child to the lip.
