GPose Guide - Facial Expressions
Let's continue exploring the true endgame! Here's a quick guide that'll help you take more expressive facial screenshots.
The default behavior on gpose is a direct gaze facing front. It may look a bit doll-like, so we can breathe new life into it by modifying the direction the character is facing. You can toggle Face Camera by tapping Space or the Y button - the character will look straight at you (if allowed by the neck angle.)
This is good, but still somewhat lifeless. So let's modify the direction Zoltan is gazing at: you can do this by rotating the camera a bit and toggling Track Camera under Motion Settings.
Now his eyes are following the camera's position; toggle Target Motion (2) to freeze the gaze in the direction the camera is.
Now let's modify his expression! Under Motion Settings, open the Emotes list by clicking the Emotes button, and select one of the available expressions. Throw in a Lip Movement for good measure, too.
You can stack several different types of animation together, like Skill + Expression or Full Body Emote + Expression + Lip Movements:
The possibilities are endless. Here are some examples of this technique in use, with different combinations of body pose, expression, gaze and lip movements:
