If you are not familiar with Kent Trammell’s work, you should check out his demo reel, most likely you would have at least seen his bust model of the 40 year old virgin. With this tutorial, Kent shows his method for getting realistic organic deformations with linear blendshape morphs – very cool stuff.

a tutorial explaining my process of sculpting a blendshape. The goal is to achieve organic deformation with a linear-shifting shape (morph target). The demonstration is only one shape – a grin – but I’ve tried to explain the overall concept of modeling organic BSs through the demo
