Animating a facial expression

[Amr Gamal]

def happyAttributes(): defaultFaceAttributes()        cmds.setAttr("Dude_Lt_Mouth_Crnr_Ctrl.tx",-1.735) cmds.setAttr("Dude_Lt_Mouth_Crnr_Ctrl.ty",3.41) cmds.setAttr("Dude_Rt_Mouth_Crnr_Ctrl.tx",-1.735) cmds.setAttr("Dude_Rt_Mouth_Crnr_Ctrl.ty",3.41) cmds.setAttr("Dude_Lt_Brow_2_Ctrl.ty",2.943559) cmds.setAttr("Dude_Rt_Brow_2_Ctrl.ty",2.943559)

 cmds.setAttr("Dude_Jaw_Ctrl.ty",-5.681)        

This function makes a certain facial expression on the 3D character model, how do I make this animated as in I want to make the attribute values change gradually?

hello, how about this?

# query current frame
timeNow = cmds.currentTime(q=True)
# [[object name, translation x, y, z moving value]]
listToAnimate = [["pCube1", [5, 3, 2]],
                ["pCube2", [3, 6, 7]],
                ["pCube3", [8, 7, 1]]]
               
for object in listToAnimate:
    cmds.currentTime(timeNow)
    # set the keyframe in current frame
    cmds.setKeyframe(object[0])
    # jump to the frame where animation ends.
    cmds.currentTime(timeNow + 10)
    # set current translation value
    cmds.setAttr("{}.tx".format(object[0]), object[1][0])
    cmds.setAttr("{}.ty".format(object[0]), object[1][1])
    cmds.setAttr("{}.tz".format(object[0]), object[1][2])
    # re-key the object
    cmds.setKeyframe(object[0])

cheers.
