very cool test Thomas! Could you share with us how you've built that rig plz?
I need to find out how to easily display animations in this forum :)

Cheers!

Well ok , the goal is to simplify a lot the eye-skin-eyebrows-lashes-forehead , so i use the reaction manager (a bit as the driven keys in maya)
all is linked to the look target cause the most of these movements are automatic(reflex ) .eyebrows , lashes , forhead (with displacement) have morph targets to control exactly the positions.... ...it's very light and you can see the result in real time (cool for animators...)

cool stuff Thomas! Thanks for sharing these. If you upload that facial test video of yours to any common video hosting website (youtube,daily motion,etc..) you should be able to have it embedded within your post, just by pasting the video link.
Just like here:

I love those renders - really impressed with the whiteness you achieved in the face on top of the SSS shader... sweet

the shading/texturing looks gorgeous. :) About the modeling the face looks neat and the facial features are really cool but in my opinion the top of the head is too high. it makes it looks vertically strech.
