Also I'd like to note that this model is popular. Like, really, REALLY fucking popular. Historically the most popular MMD model of all time, even though it isn't the best. All of the best people in the community used it, literally. Just saying it has appeal.

What? Just because Lat didn't do it doesn't mean it can't be done. He just didn't model the mouth moving, that's all. That's not the fault of the technique. Regardless, it's a technique with applications, mouths aren't the only thing. Sonico's model in Sonicomi uses it to change the shape of the face from the front and sides/back.

And I'm not sure how much anime you watch, but as far as I know this is actually a pretty accurate replication of what's actually done in anime/many people's art styles. Obviously not everyone wants this but you don't have to do it this way either.

Also, you can attach the mouth to a bone and move it forward and backward, or rotate it manually if necessary.
