You will find a Maya scene file available for download here, which will be an example scene featuring eyelids with both LINEAR deformations (created using the traditional blendshapes editor) and NON-LINEAR deformations (achieved using Bifrost nodes). Additionally, you will find a tutorial about creating a Non-Linear Interpolation using Bifrost Graph Editor in Maya. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy! Cheers!

Hey everyone! Here's a quick tutorial on how to raycast a locator's position onto a target geometry. This technique is super useful for things like terrain-following tangents or, as shown here, a facial rig where locators follow the surface geometry. It gives you the flexibility to automate the Z-axis transformation in a joint-based facial rig setup. There are probably tons of other creative ways to use this, so feel free to experiment!Oh, and you can download a free sample scene just below....

Hey everyone! I put together a cool Zipper Rig demo using Maya Bifrost and MASH to make the deformation work. You can grab the scene for free right here! I based this demo on a fan art coat I created for David Martinez. I was inspired by Banno Yuki's awesome zipping coat and glove animation. I didn't go as deep into the details as he did and didn't spend too much time on it, but I still managed to create something neat. There's room for improvement, and I hope you like it. See you soon!
