#FaceTracking

[ironicsoap]

very first face tracking test for soap cats, I'm really happy with it! Definitely need to work on refining a lot of the shapes though

gonna blab a whole lot more under the cut because ppl dont usually reblog art posts that have 200 paragraphs haha

So! I'm getting a quest pro headset real soon, and that's why I'm making facetracking for soap cats. However this video is using ARKit data (iphone) from a really nice person in my discord who sent it to me. (i do not own an iphone/ipad)

I'm setting up all of this with the quest pro in mind, using the unified expressions standard, but i renamed the shape keys to arkit shape keys so they could use the same animation keyframes so i could see em in action before the headset arrives

if people aren't super familiar with how face tracking works, basically i have to custom sculpt a TON of face shapes that the tracking device blends between. This video is animating 50 of them, but I've made 70 in total! And I think it might end up being more like 72-74.. i skipped a few mouth shapes I thought weren't necessary. The actual amount of shapes i had to Sculpt is a little lower, since most of them need to be split up into left and right versions and some of them upper and lower too. But it's still a lot!

& a final note, this is seriously just my first pass at the face tracking. Documentation for what shapes to make and how to make them is a bit barebones, so I had no idea how it would all look together until I rendered out this video. I'm planning on making it look a lot nicer with way less clipping :)

APPARENTLY ROBLOX HAS FACE TRACKING NOW

I TOOK BOTH OF THESE THE VIDEO TOO

Trolls gonna go wild

[manyblinkinglights]

Okay, for the face tracking, it looks like tongue-out needs to have the tongue a bit lower, and I need to redo brows-inner-down to be punchier.

And I NEED to figure out how to test this myself. I have to like, get the computer and the cell phone listening to the same ports across VRCFT and LiveLink and such…

hi 2 questions about completely different crafts

are there yarn types that are wavy? like squiggly yarn? ive been thinking about different ways i could make lovely belles hair if i made a plushie and i think long yarn pieces that were like nwnwnwn shaped would be cute.

how hard is it to facerig lowpoly vtubers? ive only ever worked with 2D rigging, but ive never liked any of my 2D vtubers enough to work with them. maybe i should try 3D...

[friedfriedchicken]

Is that a VTuber???

[AUTOPLAY] [VOLUME WARNING]

SILVER FACETRACKING!!!!!!!

Acting in VR is quite a hoot, I kept laughing between takes (and FT is good at translating my laughter, it's cute)

[riisi-puuro]

Varpunen 🪶

"Fly high," they said. 30k tris, 2 materials, 4k textures (c+n+h+r) UnitedExpr facetracking

A quickie avatar idea we schemed with a friend, that only took like two weeks to make. Now I have something to show for chibi designs!

[ironicsoap]

Big Face Tracking makes setting up avatar facetracking so complicated that artists dont want to do it and will instead commission the only 2 people who do know how

Alien Romulus review so spoilers because I'm so so disappointed after being told by every one how good it was and how great the effects were (you all lied to me) so so so long so so so so I don't know if it's worth reading

👍 Loved that they kept up the tradition of killing the people who smoke on screen first

👍 Technology design choices were so fun and did what Prometheus failed to do as a PREQUEL. Also failed to do what the movie itself should've done as a SEQUEL and kept notably similar design choices BUT STILL ADVANCE THE TECHNOLOGY?

👎 They made a group of people so unlikable or undeveloped that I didn't care if they lived or died.

👎 The cousins blatant bigotry against Andy came off mostly as racist AND ableist with no good reason whatsoever. Especially since it clearly wasn't justified by his mother's death because the synthetic in question that "caused her death" was justified in saving more lives over the few. His choice to leave his own family behind despite being so torn up about his mom too? And finally his weird breathing and hovering scene with the pregnant sister right after his girlfriend died was lowkey creepy and I hope it wasn't trying to imply he was the one who got her pregnant? Bottom line he deserved it and his death was the only entertaining one. Was that supposed to be on purpose?

👎 The boyfriend was a bland unlikeable character who failed to even be good enough for meat fodder + deserved to die for wasting screen time AND for letting his cousin be a racist dick to Andy despite them needing the for the whole fucking trip to happen. Worthless character.

👎 First facehugger impregnation being a woman. What a spit in the face.

👎 The fact that it was also a woman I didn't even know the name of! But had 1 more second of development than the rest and seemed like she could've been a cool character if the screen time wasn't logged by unlikeable men. Her alien birth scene was so tone deaf to the original horror of the series idk. I get not wanting to repeat the same thing but the worthless guys survived those facehuggers too easily for her to be the gratuitous birth fodder.

👎 Pregnant sister. I don't know how that could've been done differently but yea. Her boob slime was so. 🙄

👎 Her alien wannabe engineer baby thing sucked. It was so corny I laughed outloud I don't know how it could've been done better but making the aliens more humanoid but not in an uncanny way, like a weird trying too hard to be scary way, felt like a disservice to the viewers intelligence? The fact that it was a full sized thing in like 3 seconds too? No offense but wouldn't it be scarier to fight something small and newborn baby like instead of Grown Ass White Man #72

👎 Rooks facetracking shit was so gagworthy and bringing him back wasn't the tribute to the og movie like they wanted it to be. Remember how the big bang theory would make references by just naming randome nerd shit in succession? That's what he was. Just because you have a character come back doesn't mean it fits the theme of the movie you're developing.

👎 Rook's non-ambiguous characterization as evil. Just lame and defeats the complexity of the original character as well as how the synthetics have been developed.

👎 Her name is Rain and that's my name she wishes she was me so bad.

Rain was just so? Such an underdeveloped character who kicked ass and I appreciated her like? Waiting till Andy had seizure to help him out? I don't know. She just had no backstory or substance and Andy's whole character being there to protect her was fucking lame. Seeing her change that at the last bit was like yay development but then Andy gets killed so then it was just whatever.

Andy's character again, being there to protect Rain and not develop on his own. His disabilities being "cured" for most of the movie. Why the accent? Anyways I'm glad he was there because he was the shining star of the whole thing and even that felt a bit too on the nose as if they knew every one else was worthless.

The movie had a few jumpscares and the gore was nothing compared to ANY of the previous movies. Ultimately I felt nothing for the entire hour and half except for when the cousin got slimed, which I laughed. The mix of CGI was strange. 1 out of 10 as fuck! Do you think they're gonna make a sequel?

[jetsetdayuu]

Also on the topic of the hotel dusk remake,

There defitnally gonna make that game 3d BUT.... I hope they keep the black and white style. I'm sure whoever is remaking it is aware that alot of the reasons people bought it back then and why it's still remembered today was for it's very unique artstyle.

Were hitting a tech ceiling rn your really able to do ANYTHING with game engines so it be so cool to see a cell shaded hatched Kyle Hyde model.

Also also(rambling) I'm gonna be sad about these animations, cause like- idk if there gonna go the lengths to motion capture for a game that MIGHT sell decently. And especially facetracking.

The thing I love about hotel dusk is all the little things you can see in the characters faces. Because of the fact there rotoscoped there able to catch such human expression. It makes them feel way more real in my opinion.

Whatever they do I'm still buying it LOL even tho I'd sadly have to get a switch 2.....

[vanyathedoll]

if i can get decent at rigging i could just. make link click and alien stage models. like. nothing would be stopping me. there would be Zero reason to do this beyond hehe blorbos facetracking ..

[manyblinkinglights]

Gryphon needs hind feet, better tongue, better chin/lower lip (more accurate to eagle), and for me to feather it with cards in the actual pattern birds are feathered in. I’m going to have Warren’s Fast Fur Shader beneath these feather cards, on the eagle skin, but I’m gonna lean into masking the fur fully out and stippling it in via external art program. So the sleek lion hindbody won’t have fur (it will have normalmapped fur texture) but the tailtuft will, etc, the insides of the ears will be fwuffy etc but the shader will be doing “down” beneath body feathers that I apply and use to control the silhouette. Instead of attempting to hold the silhouette on its own. And it needs primary feathers.

face Centered Prototype. I remember being blown away years ago when I first saw this kind of animation technique. Figured it was high time to do my take. Still trying to think where to push it next. #processing #videoart #opencv #facetracking

Live with facetracking in Vtube Studio (no audio)

HE WORKS!!

[lead-vr]

New camera dolly + desktop facetracking is great
