Ultra-Expressive ARKit Facial Control Rig For Mt. Lady
Amarillo has released the Blender and VRM files.
3D Artist Amarillo has been spending some time learning ARKit and improving his rigging skills with his Mt. Lady model from My Hero Academia. He put together a really clean armature that lets you animate ARKit blendshapes, allowing for much more detailed expressions than you can typically achieve with standard VRM rigs.
If you'd like to use this character for VTubing or simply study how facial rigs are made, Amarillo has released both the Blender and VRM files with the ARKit blendshapes included as well, and compatible with most VTubing apps.

If you're new to ARKit, it's Apple's facial motion capture technology, which requires an iPhone to use it. It reads your facial expressions and converts them into 52 blendshapes, which can then be used to drive a compatible model in real-time.
You can find the files on Amarillo's Patreon.
