:wallbash: how to make the face animations like the skeleton animations work in the game?

[geon]

Facial animation is not normally done with skeletons, but with morphing. Set up a number of predefined facial expressions (or partial ones, to combine together), then morph them depending on input such as mood, scripted events and speech analyzis.

Facial animations can be done reasonably well via skinning with several (weighted) bone assignments for each vertex. The bones are actually more like "muscles", and their animation will contain frequent translations as well as rotations (as opposed to body bones, which are firmly attached at the joints). Classic skinning will need many bones to simulate bulging of skin under the face's muscles, or to create wrinkles, but the basic idea is there.
