Hello everyone, I’m new in the forum is that in the world of Blender, I have a mesh of a head, discharged this https://clara.io/view/f621952b-f527-43d5-9035-e8aa7dd493bc# address, and I would like to select and open eyes and mouth create animations, how can I make being the only mesh and not divided into groups?
If you want to animate the model, there are 2 ways of approach. You can use Shape Keys, but you will have to use drivers and a few bones on an armature to animate it. You can also use an armature only animation approach, but you will have to deal with weight painting the mesh so it can deform correctly. There are tutorials on Youtube and Viemo to help you find the right course of action.
the problem is that, the mesh in only one, for open the mouth for example, i have to cut first the surface. I tried to cut the mesh manually with the cut tool, but the cuts are not precise because the mesh has many vertices, and in any case can not slide, for example, the eyelid on it to make it open
It looks like that the model that you downloaded was created in pieces. It can still be animated but you have to join all the mesh objects as one whole model.
Select all of the model parts, piece by piece, and when you get to the last one, hold the Shift Button and press the J key at the same time. That’s how you bring them together under 1 mesh. From there, you can animate using the methods I mentioned.
But if the mesh is all in one, how can i open the eye if there are all together? i have to cut a line on the mouth to open it?
No, you don’t have to cut anything. Go to youtube.com and search for the words Blender Shape Keys. You will learn what you need about one of the methods I was talking about.
I’m sorry, I mistakenly gave you the wrong link, now it’s ok. This mesh is a unique object, I tried to use shape keys and bones but I get the error, plus I can only deform the mesh, but I can not open my eyes and mouth, I thank you in advance for your help.

Wrong link and errors? What link and error are you talking about?
the link where i downloaded the mesh, i got this error " Automatic Heat Weighting: Failed to find a solution for one or more bones "
