Events are a powerful system that enable one FaceFX animation to play another FaceFX animation. They also form the backbone of the FaceFX Studio gesture system which generates head, eye, and body movements from an audio file.
The event system gives the animator high-level control over a character. Changes can be made to the animation by simply zooming into a problem area and telling the system to generate a new take for that section of the animation. Randomized animations can be generated and previewed quickly, commonly bypassing the need for more time-consuming editing.
