So, its always nice to buy something that is already made and gives you ease of use for your characters. But how about creating your OWN set of, for example, facial expressions! It's very easy! just a few simple steps:
1.- Setting up for creating and saving:
First just load any character that you want to make the facial expressions on (These expressions will work for any character tough, i simply chose the character that i'd like to see on the load icon for the expression)
Go to the [Posing / Shaping] tab. On the panel to the right, go to Parameters and then Pose controls.
For easy saving click on the two small arrows that will open the content library.

| This is how my screen looks like |
Set your character close to the screen so that when you save your pose you will have a good preview icon.
2.- Changing the Pose controls
Change and make the face as you want it. Adjust the sliders to create the facial expression of your choice
3.- Saving your Facial Expression
Once you are happy with how your face look, its easy to save for later use.
Go to the folder where you want to store your expressions (in my case Daz/Genesis/Poses/Faces)
Click on the [+] sign at the bottom left of the content library and click on [DSF Pose File ...]
Chose the save location (DAZ\People\Genesis\Poses\Faces)
choose a name, hit [Save]
Then a DSF Pose Save Options screen appears. click on the Genesis (to deselect all) and then only select as shown here:

| Saving your Facial Expression |
When you are done, an icon with your new facial expression will show on your library, double click on it to change your characters face.
I suggest you also save a "Neutral" face so you can reset the face at any time, for whatever reason.
And that's it! Happy facial expression making!!
