"Sleep" Idle Animation
Here's another suggestion for ya!

I was pondering the idea of an "Idle" animation.
This would be a secondary animation, as opposed to the current active idle, that would be triggered when the user of face rig is not present for a set amount of time. In another sense, this could be considered a sleep animation.

For example, take a Face Rig user who leaves to go order a pizza while streaming. A little while after Face Rig looses its track, the Face Rig user's avatar leans its head forward and a little sleepy snot bubble grows.
I envision that each avatar would include its own custom sleep animation.

As far how this might be implemented, I am thinking that a series of animations could be used.

//
1. Transition from current idle into the sleep idle

2a. The looping sleep idle animation

_____2b. Sleep idle could be comprised of randomly selected variations

3. Transition out of the sleep idle back into the current idle
//


I believe that the addition of a simple sleep idle animation will add a new dimension of life and personality to the user's avatar.

I only have minimal programming knowledge, so I have very little concept of how hard this might be to implement. But there is the idea anyway :P

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Great idea! :) Would certainly communnicate the idea the user is 'away', also if this was an option to switch on and off as well. Much like setting a chat program to online > away.

This is a very interesting idea :D

We'll be looking into implementing a lot of awesome things for FaceRig 1.1 and FaceRig version 1.2
We are still polling our community to determine the features which will be implemented and their priority. Cast your vote here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Bjl3Ur6gVr0N82jAGYdbuMXC2vQy1fiK6rIe1rTh-LQ/viewform?usp=send_form
