Thanks, will give blendshapes a shot. The concern is that it may deform in a way in which it loses volume when half way in between normal orientation and "back" orientation for example, and that the geometry will end up away from the inevitable joint chain for the ear, for offsetting animations, either losing the ability…
If you want to go work in the US, then you should look at their official government websites where you will find all the Visa conditions and requirements. "It's my understanding that in order to get a work visa, you need a degree" No. You may need a certain numbers of years of experience (counted as "points") , and years…
