PARAMETERIZATION:

Napoleon's face is able to  squash and stretch. The lower lip is very versatile in forming his mouth expressions. Separate parts of his face (skull, muzzle, nose) can articulate individually to form a whole expression. His eyes are set back into his brows which are also expressive.

Possible face parameters:

• Face squash/stretch
• Brow (muscle groups, not eyebrows) furrow/raise
• Eye muscle groups squash/stretch
• Eye close/open
• Muzzle tilt/roll/pitch
• Lower lip pucker/curl
• Ear raise/lower
• Neck squash/stretch
• Adam's Apple raise/lower
• Head roll/tilt/pitch
• Pupil dilate
• Nose roll (rotate)
• Muzzle shape hardness/softness
