Facegood to Metahuman Tutorial

[@justinmarch5095]

Thanks!

[@NiteshKumar-cs4wo]

Very important tutorial. Awesome.

[@millart]

I dont know why the facegood retargeting is for? everything is hand animated..i mean the face expressions things that we should relly on the avatary.They are not accurate with the live performance....what is avatary actually useful for? I didn't see any advantages or good tutorials for proper use...

[@David_Fernandez]

For me it happened the same... I didn't understand in this video... If he did it manually or with the mocap?

[@matttgaminghd377]

Want to ask how do you save keyframes mid-session

[@ashtongodinho4902]

Hey J is there a way to track the head movement?

Hi, can you give a link to download the drivers that are at 0:46 ? Perhaps having them would help me to run this program

[@KenedyTorcatt]

Thanks a lot for This!

[@KRGraphicsCG]

This is KILLER and I need to get on this soon

[@Jsfilmz]

yea man its not as automated as iphone but its not as manual as doing manual keyframe either its perfect balance. Just takes time to learn the control board since its massive lol

[@KRGraphicsCG]

@@Jsfilmz I actually have my own custom face rig, and setting up the tracker will be a breeze. I don't have Maya, so I'll have to wait for addon support. I'm also imagining that if you got even more keyframes, it will start looking insanely natural

[@Jsfilmz]

@@KRGraphicsCG exactly

[@KRGraphicsCG]

@@Jsfilmz I kinda wish Avatary could show thumbnails of all of your annotations just for reference to see what you captured

[@mrkshh]

Bro, as i understand it works as: you do retargeting from video and teach soft how every emotion work, the more emotions you do the much better result? You can do extra teach for extra videos, and finally you have huge base of emotions in maya and it automatically will define every emotion perfect?

[@elvismorellidigitalvisuala6211]

Dear J wich drivers are needed? I've reinstalled several time i still got error "file is missing" when I try to launch streamer app

[@tizianopalumbo]

Hello J! Thank you for your stuff! 🔥 Beard is a problem for this kind of capture I suppose? eheh

[@sinanarts]

Hi, thank you for your all efforts to enter"train" us. :-) I'd like to know if I can use any other camera input to capture the face..? or it only works with their helmet.?

[@enrix00]

but I see that on their page it says that it can be done in real time too, why don't you do it in real time too so you can use it in the vtuber theme?

[@Jsfilmz]

not out yet

[@facemotion3d971]

Thanks for the share JS. :) awesome video. Do they deliver the helmet pretty fast without much waiting period? That's pretty cheap for the helmet and the infrared camera. :)

[@Jsfilmz]

it comes from china so it depends where u are and yea dirt cheap for helmet and cam

[@facemotion3d971]

@@Jsfilmz I see. I think I will get one soon. Aside from price, do you think its better than Faceware? can it reuse previously made training frames?

Wowww that’s insane

[@NoorFilms786]

Nice video, how would you say this is Vs the faceware studio?

[@BarakSurian]

Hey man - I was wondering if there's a way to live stream the data without Maya? Or the quality goes down that way? Any thoughts?

[@zakj3769]

Do you think cc3 and iclone with the whole iphone lipsync think would have better results? do you think cc4 could be better than this?

[@Jsfilmz]

u might have diff opinion than me best to do is try avatary is free

[@dandelobo9284]

Which approach and tool you have used for facial expressions in your short film with two women? I think it was very convincing work!

[@Jsfilmz]

this but instead of facegood camera i used my diy skateboard helmet and insta360 pro. That being said if i had this helmet back then it would have looked alot better

[@vvings6644]

Impressive work sir

[@Jsfilmz]

Thank you kindly

[@alhusseinali]

Bro ,does Avatari support a web camera or there's a special cam comes with the helmet ?

[@Jsfilmz]

i used my diy go pro for my short film long as its mounted on ur head for $470 dollars u get helmet and infared camera though thats cheap as heck

[@matttgaminghd377]

How do you make it so it’s not jittery/robotic I have 608 keyframes and it’s still jittery

[@hyperface2050]

That QUICKTIME tip is MONEY!!!

[@ScottBarrettihq]

How did you find the results vs the iclone pathway of dropping the wav file on it and letting acculips do the lions share of the work (with some manual tweaking)?

[@davidpurple3698]

Thanks for the video. That is a very laborious work. Where are we with the phone captures in general?

[@Jsfilmz]

bro if u think this is labourous try manually keyframing frame by frame like people do in the industry still to this day lol. Iphones still look like crap atm mostly up and down mouth movement

@@Jsfilmz thanks dude! It's madness that this is outdoing the more expensive class of stuff and is far more flexible at that. The only missing aspect for me is being able to get metahuman into blender and I'm a free man. Do you know if there's any workflow for getting this to work with a metahuman rig that has been imported to Blender?

[@paulramsden84]

Is this using the free version of Facegood? or paid enterprise versions?

[@respair1385]

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm really interested in this. But how does the head/neck rotation work? Do you have any recommendations to to solve this problem? Since Facegood seems to only capture the facial expressions and not the head movements.

[@Jsfilmz]

i use my mocap for that

[@respair1385]

I see, so something like Xsens or Rokoko body suit does that? Btw I am really grateful that you answer comments, as somebody who's basically isolated from the cg community and have to figure everything on my own it is a great help, so thanks for that and keep up the good work mate!

the P1 Helmet is 60Fps ($7990) and the P2 is 240Fps ($38900) yes more expensive than Faceware

Is 30 fps the max for Facegood D2? Or can we capture in 60 fps or higher if we want

30fps but i think they are making a d2 60fps in the future

Honestly it wouldn't take me that long to keyframe this using MH - it actually seems easier to keyframe than going through this whole process OR just use audio2face and then make your edits that way. Save yourself a few hundred bucks ay?
