Re: Bone Driven Facial Rigging
The wrinkle maps are entirely engine dependent, you can do it in max by using a composite map and animating the opacity of each layer/wrinkle map. Each layer has its own blending options like Photoshop as well as a mask for each layer. Typically the opacity is wired to the same controller moving the morphs/bones around so… -

Sometimes it's not the object type that determines if its a bone but how it is applied to the scene. For example if you skin a mesh to a box,… -

I would create morph/blend shapes because that is the fastest and easiest way to animate a face. This gets even easier in max because of the push pull tools that can be applied, you can even use gDeform to further… -
