Tito uses Morpher (3) as basic modifier for facial animation, with 17 gestures that can be handled from the different Morpher channels. There're also 3 custom attributes (2) created to animate the rotation of the mandible bone. 
 
       Tito's facial animation can be controlled by this combination of Morpher and custom attributes, but also from the parameter collector. You can access this dialog from the menu "Animation>>Parameter Collector". This is one of the new tools that was included in Max 7.

That Ball character is a Fantastic Rig to practice walks and jumps. Here's one more for MAYA i came accross..

http://www.mrmotion.net/downloads/alfRig/alfRig.jpg

Alf v3
alf3.zip

This is the full featured Alf rig which I used in "M-Balla-Balla".

There is four layers in the scene:

1. animationControlsLayer: This layers contains all the controls.

2. lowPolyLayer: This layer contains a low poly of the character for fast playback.

3. animLayer: This layer contains a non textured mesh for use when animating.

4. renderLayer:

This layer contains the shaded and textured mesh. Set the mesh "smooth" to 1 or 2 before you render. The smooth attribute is located on the visibility curve below the character.

I recommend creating a reference of the file before you start animating ( File > Create Reference... ).

Facial controls... (quicktime)

This comes from the members of Collective Project at <A href="http://www.10secondsclub.net" target="_blank">www.10secondsclub.net</A>. Its for Maya and real nice rig to animate.
