Face rigging with Rigify
- [David] Now, in this week's Blender Tips, Tricks, and Techniques, I'm going to show you how to quickly rig a face. Now, here's the thing. Rigging a face can actually be literally an entire course.

First, let's delete everything. Hit A twice, X delete, Shift + C if your 3D cursor moved, let's come over here, file, user preferences, add-ons, type in R-I-G-I-F, rigify, turn that on, save your user settings, close now, Shift + A, let's add a monkey.
