Learn how to create a shader for your Synty POLGYON character's face and change it to display a wide range of expressions with this simple system. It builds on the groundworks we laid in a previous tutorial, where we created facial features and customized a POLYGON character by Synty to change its face. Find some sample faces to test this with here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mn7zEG78OT_jTVQsIbDmMP4pMsp1N1Dx?usp=sharing The pack I used is the POLYGON - Fantasy Village one, which was provided to me by Synty.
