Facial Expression Creator Facial Expression Creator is a Unity tool made to simplify the creation and setup of facial expressions for VRChat avatars. It lets you create Animation Clips from your avatar's BlendShapes, edit existing clips, configure expressions for both hand gestures, and add expressions controlled through the Expressions Menu. The tool can automatically detect the face from the Face Mesh configured in the VRC Avatar Descriptor. You can also manually select a GameObject or Skinned Mesh Renderer if you want to work with a specific mesh. Work modes: New Animation Clip Edit Clips Gesture Matrix Menu Gestures Main Features Create Animation Clips from your avatar's BlendShapes Edit existing Animation Clips Detect and import expressions from an FX Controller Preview expressions directly on the avatar Browse BlendShapes using thumbnails Search, filter, and sort BlendShapes Search, filter, and sort BlendShapes Configure all 64 GestureLeft and GestureRight combinations Create expressions activated from the Expressions Menu Organize new submenus before generating them Add Hand Lock and Face Lock Detect some common Animation Clip issues and fix them with Auto Fix Generate a new FX Controller without modifying the original Creating and Editing Animation Clips Select the BlendShapes you want to modify, adjust their values, and check the result directly on the avatar using Preview Only the BlendShapes you mark for modification Will be saved to the new Animation Clip, so you can test values without having to include them in the final result You can also load existing Animation Clips and edit them Clips can be selected manually or detected from the avatar's FX Controller. The tool can find the standard VRChat gestures as well as expressions used inside an existing Gesture Matrix When editing a clip, you can add or update BlendShapes without removing the rest of the animation, or replace its contents depending on what you need Visual BlendShape Browser When an avatar has hundreds of BlendShapes, finding the one you need by name alone can be inconvenient Facial Expression Creator can generate a thumbnail for each BlendShape using the Scene View, so you can quickly see which part of the face it affects You can search by name, apply filters, and sort the results Thumbnails can also show only the affected area or highlight the vertices modified by each BlendShape You can adjust their resolution and size, and generated thumbnails are cached so they can be reused whenever possible Gesture Matrix The Gesture Matrix lets you configure all 64 possible combinations between GestureLeft and GestureRight Each hand uses the eight standard VRChat gesture values: Default, Fist, Open Hand, Point, Victory, Rock 'n Roll, Gun, and Thumbs Up You can assign a different Animation Clip to each combination or reuse the same clip in multiple positions If the avatar already has facial expressions configured, the tool can read its FX Controller and try to automatically import the existing matrix You can also adjust the transition time between expressions Animation Clip Checks A facial expression can remain partially active when two Animation Clips do not control the same BlendShapes The Gesture Matrix checks for this type of difference between the Default clip and the other expressions When it finds a problem, it shows a warning and provides an Auto Fix option that adds the missing BlendShapes with a value of O This helps prevent parts of a previous expression from staying active when switching gestures FX Controller Generation Once the Gesture Matrix is ready, you can generate the system directly from the tool Facial Expression Creator creates a new FX Controller instead of modifying the original You can keep the avatar's existing facial layer and add the new Gesture Matrix, or replace that layer inside the generated copy The rest of the controller layers are preserved Once generated, you can assign the new FX Controller to the avatar from the same window Expressions from the Expressions Menu Not every expression has to depend on hand gestures Menu Gestures lets you create facial expressions that are activated directly from the VRChat Expressions Menu For each expression, you can configure: Animation Clip Name Icon Save State Thumbnail Destination inside the Expressions Menu The expressions use one shared Int parameter When a menu expression is active, it takes control of the face. When disabled, the avatar automatically returns to the expression that matches the current Gesture Matrix combination Expressions Menu Organization You can choose an existing menu or prepare new submenus before generating the system The tool shows the controls that already exist, the ones you are preparing, and the available space in each menu. If a menu runs out of space, you can configure additional submenus without having to create them manually first. The new menus and controls are created when you generate the system Available Languages Facial Expression Creator is available in English Español Deutsch EV-*OI The default language the first time the tool is opened is English.
