Lbrush Lipservice, bought and paid for, a beauty of a plugin. Streamline the animation process with this powerhouse of a plugin.

I purchased the Lbrush Lipservice plugin sometime last year and realized that it's an amazingly full and powerful animation setup toolset for maya. IT IS A BEAST@!

Sculpt with the ability to increase subdivision levels with the pupose of scultping blendshapes and blendshape correction ulitlizing builtin pose deformers. You dont have to load any seperate plugins or scripts.

Using this plugin, you don't have to create seperate blendshapes, just load into a new button everytime you sculpt a phoneme or beef up a muscle with a joint! And they are resculptable, meaning you can change them.

You can load existing blendshapes into the built in phoneme & blink buttons.

There are spiffy thumbnail previews for each button that it takes on auto and reload them on the fly.

The feature is called Blendshapes+ , like me, it's an amazing tool! heh
The sculpting is so powerful, it comes with many brush patterns and you can easily make and load your own. 

It has built in stencils akin to Mudbox & zbrush. And the second amazing feature is 3D TEXTURE PAINTING, easily project full faces and blend them onto models. It adds a whole new creative toolset.

Texture painting with beautiful results!

Posespace deformation is another feature, if you are not familiar with this concept, you can add flexing shape to muscles via sculpting with the plugin's tools. Give that muscle flexing appearance and have it move with the joints.

It just has so many features it's tough to get granular and detail each one, but it's so easy to work with and create a whole new streamlined workflow.
