Facial Animations in models OTHER than the HWM Players

As far as I can tell, all of the HL2 models can do facial posing, yet the controls necessary to do so aren't exposed in the SFM. Is there any reason why these models are the only ones that support face-posing, or am I experiencing some sort of glitch? --tealsuki 22:31, 15 July 2012 (PDT)

Edit

As I found out in a video linked to the Lipsync page, opening the AnimationSet in the Element Viewer, right clicking on the root of the animset (ie: Alyx1) and selecting "Create Phoneme Presets based on HL2 FACS controls" will rig the HL2 models to accept phoneme extraction and manual mapping. --tealsuki 20:15, 20 July 2012 (PDT)
