Hi, guys. I’m a developer of BonyFace and i want to introduce it to rigging-community.
So, i hope you will find this tool at least interesting.
You are welcome with any feedback.
Cool stuff. I really wonder how viable the 3d middleware market is, if anyone bothers paying for this stuff.
Cool, very interesting! Nice job with BonyFace :):
Well, i’ll be happy if somebody would test it and create some simple animations.
Also if there is a way to make BF-rig more faster (we need at least 3 chars in scene without lags), then i’m listening.

It’s not viable at all, especially in the area of rigging, many have ventured into this and found the interest for such tools to be great but willingness to pay up to be rather wanting unfortunately

O realy? And what about completely free for all facial autorig and autoskin?
Or may be somewhere there is an analogue for 3ds max i don’t know…
BonyFace 2.6 was added on site (10 free sessions included) for anybody, who wants to test grimaces and other extended stuff.
bfs-files of 2.6 and 2.7 are 100% compatible.
Rigs of 2.6 and 2.7 aren’t fully compatible, so you have to rig in 2.6 to operate extended tools of 2.6 correctly.
This winter (until release of BF 3.0) you can get BF 2.7 with a 50% discount.
BonyFace 3.0 Basic was RELEASED !
On the download page there are also a sample scene, rigged and skinned in BF3.0
BonyFace 3.0 Extended has been split up, and you are now able to purchase only the tools you need, each one costing $50.

Drive tool with 10 free sessions was added on site: Download BonyFace
