you are a great teacher. I love your teaching style: slow, clear and complete. All the necessary knowledge found in 1 video. It's a huge time saver, great convenience for learning from your videos. Wish you health ! 1 thanks from Vietnam !😍🥰
Glad I discovered your channel recently. Your tutorials are all excellent, and it's super appreciated how you point out pitfalls that people might fall into.
Thank you very much!! I was needing a quik face rig and I was trying Rigify but was crashing when binding (w automatic weights) since I´ve got some vertex really close (and I cant merge them) and this bind the mesh without any complain summatory is an anamazing addon with a lot of features, thank for sharing the entire process!
Thank you greatly for this tutorial series, cant wait for the non-realistic characters part. After buying this addon last year, I was sorely disappointed in the documentation and it's inability to work with non-realistic characters at that time. So very glad to see the addon has made great strives and improvements and cant wait to incorporate it into my pipeline.
Thank you so much!!! for this awesome tutorial, I'm adding it as a button above my awesome facecap performance editing features On my MOCAP panel in my biggest add on in the world(codewise)... Best chapter design I've ever seen
Great overview for an awesome addon. I also love how Fynn, the developer, handles the support on discord - very helpful and professional. One important feature you've skipped (so far) is the ability to retarget/remap existing blendshapes to the ARKit blendshapes in the "Target Shape" section of the "Shapes" tab. For example, I have a character that was equipped with Rod237 blendshapes that do not follow the official ARKit naming conventions and where occasionally multiple combined blendshapes are corresponding to a single ARKit blendshapes. With this add-on, I was able to easily remap them and thus create the facial control rig for my character using the existing blendshapes.
i hope this series continues, itd be nice to see how you handle stylized models with faceit , especially stylized face shapes for toony characters where eyes arnt perfectly round or oval
Thank you so much you are a real life saver. And what you do very well is that you consciously problems that can arise when what does not run perfectly, which is almost always so, and show and offer solutions for it. Really mega !!! keep it up!
Thank you very much! Your tutorials are very long, but that's a good thing, because the topic isn't exactly easy either. All these addons are not easy to use :)
wow your results from FaceCap are way better than what I've gotten from Rokoko! Rokoko's face cap has so much shakiness in it and takes tons of cleanup
Hmmm, they should use the exact same Apple tech so the results should be the same. I think what makes the main difference is how you shoot. E.g. if you are using a home made helmet, it might be shaky. For now I record myself in front of a static phone. Also the video in the very beginning is slightly cleaned up. Not a lot but still I did some additional work on it.
grabbed tons of little tips!!! thnk u so much. Wish this add on was more popular so they would reduce the price… but completely recommend!!!! Also, can confirm that they work in UE exactly as they do in blender. Insanely useful :) doing the 52 shapes by hand now feels like traveling by donkey
Greetings, my Great Teacher! Your lesson, as always, is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! They are very important to us! Question - after I attach FaceIT to the bone of the head, the eyes begin to repeat the movement of the head, they only look straight, how do I fix this?
Fantastic video, thanks for this. If I don't want shape keys, but actually want the expressions as an animation keyframe, can I just not bake and export the pose instead?
I want to say, you are a great instructor...love your work. I would like to ask- once you set up your facial rig and you APPEND your character to another file for the scene, my facial rig degrades such as- the syncing (the video and audio lengths are way off) and the face-it controls won't stay with rig. Is this common?
One of my best investments. What a big help ! Thank you for your tutorial as it really good to follow and prevents me from making beginner mistakes using faceit. Great stuff 😁😋🎩
Hey, this is fantastic, thanks so much. I've been using faceit with human generator v4 (beta) and skipping some steps (probably explained in your next video) I've been able to get OK results - I believe your next video will explain this, as it's using rigify, but it's also very easy to break the HG rig when binding etc (maybe not supposed to?) anyhow, I just define the mesh group, align, and create the control rig which has worked (ignoring some middle steps and fine tuning) - of course I am probably losing some functionality! Would be super cool if you can touch upon HG in your next video's coverage/rigify applications, would very much appreciate it! Anyhow with this video, I feel like I'll already get better results to start with. Cheers!
Oh, I have HG but haven't worked with it much yet. With Rigify, the main questions is if you already have a working face rig or not. If you do you can skip the rigging process. Otherwise you have to go through it. Anyway, I'll try to demonstrate in the next video.
Wow this makes things a lot easier now, thank you for this tutorial! I have a question: after having the control rig (which controls the shape keys with drivers) how can I export these shape keys changes?
@CGDive That's right, but what about shape keys animated? like for example animating Faceit controllers and linking them to the main body rig somehow, I tried exporting both rigs, it works but you'll have 2 separate animations for the face and for the body. I understand that for shape keys animation you need drivers linked to the main rig but in this case, drivers are linked to the Faceit control rig which is not part of the body rig. Any idea how the workflow should be in order to export one action containing body animation and face it controllers animation?
Thanks a lot bro..I searched on TH-cam to know details about faceit addon for a couple of weeks. but I couldn't find... thanks for this.... And please tell me how to join faceit addon with mixamo rig in the next video...
Fantastic tutorial! Thank you so much. I ran into a problem at the bake stage. Everything looks great when at the Expressions tab, all the movements look great on every part of the face, but when I bake, the eyelashes, teeth, tongue don't move. But if I go ahead and create a control rig after baking, all parts of the face do move with the control rig, but if I disconnect that rig, and try using the Shape Keys, the eyelashes, etc, don't move. All the parts that don't move after baking are listed in the Objects section of the bake tab by the way. Any idea what I did wrong. Many thanks.
I always use the control rig so I am not sure. If you only change the shapekey on the face, the ones on the eyelashes etc. won't move automatically. That's normal. You have to connect them using drivers or something like that. Again, I am not sure what tool FaceIt offers for that since I personally prefer the face rig,
At 4:56 - I was really confused why sculpting a shape key didn't seem to be working. I found a tip from 2017 that cleared it up: you have to have the shape key value set to 1. It doesn't automatically turn the shape key "on" when you try to sculpt it.
@@CGDive What I meant to ask was can I Enhance A Facial Expression Existing on ShapeKey (Say From A Regular Smile to an Exaggerated Smile) using the ControlRig ?
THX for tutorial! But i would like to ask you something. 16:45 Why the field with this option is not there for me? Where can i find it to put here? I serached the internet for more information on this subject, and i have not found this option there, others had the same shown as me. I only saw it in your tutorial.
The Facial Hair button? It should be there if you have the latest version of the addon. It's currently in Beta but it is quite stable and will be released officially soon.
I was planning to relase it the next days but the addon developer started working on improvements. So you will get videos and addon improvements. Hopefully within two weeks from now :)
Can you teach us how to bake the animation after recording and importing the Live Link Face mocap? Then can you teach us how to save it and how to open the baked animation to append it onto another new Blend file character? Right now I am using Human Generator rig + Faceit rig. I am not using the Human Generation facial rig (52 arkit shapekeys). I did the setup of objects, landmarks, rig, and expressions from scratch as if I didn't have any prior existing facial rigs or shapekeys. I then use the Join to Body Armature function to connect the Facial and body rig. The Blender Info Log shows that it was joined successfully however I ran into an issue when retargeting body animations using ARP and Rokoko addon. The mesh stretches throughout specific parts of the animation (For example the inner mouthbag, nooks and crevices, and tongue mesh breaks through the face mesh, or the eyelashes stretch and look like spider legs, etc. Do you know why that is and how can I fix it?
Your videos are platinum. I can't wait for the next video. Baking to a Control Rig allows you to have very good control over the face animation. I wonder if it's possible to rebake a third party mocap animation from shape keys (eg rokoko) into a Control Rig animation. Maybe "Shape Key Retargeter FBX" can help with that.? This question is similar to RainSoxx and you answered it, but if Faceit can convert data from FaceCap to rig keys, Maybe there will be a tool that can transfer Shape Key animation to rig keys.
I have some ideas about this sort of retargeting but nothing that has materialized so far. For now we can only work with shapekeys. "Shape Key Retargeter FBX" also retargets an FBX file that contains shapekeys. :)
Hello thank you for all if your helpful tutorials. I was wondering is it possible to still add shape keys to the characters face after the faceit rigging process? I want to add visemes from daz as a shape key to the face for clean up purposes on my mocap performance
great tutorial! But at 43:15 set child of is not woring for me. I first select main rig in object mode, then select pose mode I click on set child of but it doesn't work.
Your videos are very interesting and thank you very much. I have a question. Even if everything is correct in the order you have presented, head bone and face it addon cannot be combined (Set Child of) (43.11) If you can please solve this for me.
Hi Todor, thanks for your great tutorial. Just wondering why I have been getting Python errors when assigning Face Main? Would that be the versions I use?
Hi @CGDive, I don't know if you'll even get to see this but I have to try, I need a tutorial or at least a dumb down level on how to properly rig and weight painting the eye lids with Auto rig pro, I have been stuck with this for months, I tried following following your auto rig full body tutorial but yo didn't dell much on the eyelids, and you used a realistic character, mine is stylised so the proportions are a bit different, I will really appreciate your Assistance on this, thank you
I do see it but I don't have a tut like that at the moment. Generally my stuff is a bit on the realistic side. Maybe this? It's rigify but the process is similar th-cam.com/video/wVISTf93uTA/w-d-xo.html
Also at the Time of Baking there is an Armature which is unchecked and that of Faceit which is checked. Consider that My Character has its own Face Rig. And this face rig is what it will be imported back with along with the Faceit shapekeys. Should I bake with both? Or Should I bake only the Faceit and the Bone from the Original Rig will adjust to the Faceit mesh changes?
Wow. This is the most epic support to share a super detailed tutorial about a tool wow. Man you're really awesome doing this content. Just one vídeo helping us, the author this tool you're channel in other Words everybody. You're so smarth as a content creator. God bless You for this. I Will Share this vídeo with all artist friend for sure. Have should make un this list a view of reverig that Tool have not this kind of content and facit a reverig can be in the same Workflow.
hey ! I'm a beginner, when i'm at the rigging stage, my characters mouth is not opening... do you know why? thanks so much for your wonderful tutorial!
Thank you very much for this beautiful video. but i have a problem. In my character, eyebrows and beard are separate objects and they do not move. Please help.
Thanks for the tuto, but i had a problem with shape keys unfortunately, when i try to slide the eye blink, the eyelash mesh doesn't follow for some reason !! any fix for that ?
man i can get the head to move with mocap but the shapekeys, despite existing, don't reflect the recorded performance rip. theres like no motion for them
Thank you very much for the tutorial, I followed the process of your tutorial, I loaded audio and text in mocap, clicked import, the shape key to control the face c_jaw_target disappeared, probably what is the possible reason, I hope to get your help
43:17 I couldn't switch between the two modes even after following the video exactly. It turns out you have to go to the Viewport Overlays menu (top right, looks like an eclipse) and turn off uncheckmark "Fade Geometry", otherwise it won't work.
For Anime Eyes create the sphere like an actual Eye and select each sphere to their respective eyes Actual anime eye should be put as Other Right and Other left depending on their case FOLLOW TUTORIAL UNTIL THE STEP HE MENTIONS THE LOCATORS AND PAUSE Create locators WITHOUT THE SNAP ENABLE, REPEAT, SNAP MUST NOT BE ENABLED If you created the sphere of each eye = CONGRATULATIONS! each eye locator should be inside and at the middle of each sphere. IF NOT! Well... now ya know what to do :p XD AFTER DOING THIS Continue with the tutorial and then hide the spheres when the rig is bind AND VIOLÁ!!! you got your anime eyes rigged as a normal eye ;) (This has been tested on 2.1.2 and beta version of this video, both works) Last tip if you are not using beta (but so far beta has been better) as this colleague, join the eyebrows on the mesh with control + J and then procced to select ti as Main the whole head with the Eyebrows joined, that will make the eyebrows to have the baked keys

Wow this makes things a lot easier now, thank you for this tutorial! I have a question: after having the control rig (which controls the shape keys with drivers) how can I export these shape keys changes?
Hi. Shape keys can be exported through fbx without too much trouble.
@CGDive That's right, but what about shape keys animated? like for example animating Faceit controllers and linking them to the main body rig somehow, I tried exporting both rigs, it works but you'll have 2 separate animations for the face and for the body. I understand that for shape keys animation you need drivers linked to the main rig but in this case, drivers are linked to the Faceit control rig which is not part of the body rig. Any idea how the workflow should be in order to export one action containing body animation and face it controllers animation?
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for your hard work 🙂
Many thanks!

It should but you may have to do something creative in the rigging/weight paint portion of the process.

Throughout the video it's alpha blend/opaque. For the render in the very beginning, both are alpha hashed because it looked a bit better :)
Huge thank. You're really greatt teacher.
Cheers!
sos un genio muchisimas graciaaasssss!
I needed this video. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
great tutorial! But at 43:15 set child of is not woring for me. I first select main rig in object mode, then select pose mode I click on set child of but it doesn't work.
Another great video. Thanks! 😀
Glad you enjoyed it, David!
Your videos are very interesting and thank you very much. I have a question. Even if everything is correct in the order you have presented, head bone and face it addon cannot be combined (Set Child of) (43.11) If you can please solve this for me.
I can't say for sure. Give it one more try.
super nice .. yo T can this auto rig pro mixed with faceit be imported to ue?! i tried it but the face goes craaazzyyy .. 😢
I haven't tried it but I would definitely bake the face animation to shapekeys before export if you are using the FaceIt control rig.
Hi Todor, thanks for your great tutorial.
Just wondering why I have been getting Python errors when assigning Face Main? Would that be the versions I use?
I can't help with Python errors. Please report them to the addon developer on Blender Market
Hi @CGDive,
I don't know if you'll even get to see this but I have to try,
I need a tutorial or at least a dumb down level on how to properly rig and weight painting the eye lids with Auto rig pro, I have been stuck with this for months, I tried following following your auto rig full body tutorial but yo didn't dell much on the eyelids, and you used a realistic character, mine is stylised so the proportions are a bit different, I will really appreciate your Assistance on this, thank you
I do see it but I don't have a tut like that at the moment. Generally my stuff is a bit on the realistic side.
Maybe this? It's rigify but the process is similar

@@CGDive okay, then, thank you very, I really appreciate you
how to export? tongue, mouthclose shapekeys fail. Also eyes and teeth don't move only face moves
hi. In the new version of FaceIt there is no option for Eye AND Iris. How can I seperate them like you did?
Also at the Time of Baking there is an Armature which is unchecked and that of Faceit which is checked. Consider that My Character has its own Face Rig. And this face rig is what it will be imported back with along with the Faceit shapekeys. Should I bake with both? Or Should I bake only the Faceit and the Bone from the Original Rig will adjust to the Faceit mesh changes?
I swear I heard your voice on another 3D animation TH-cam channel before.
Oh, I would love to meet my voice doppelganger. :)
The iphone face capture is nice, but it is jittery. Is there a way to remove this jitter afterwards and make it as smooth as metahuman for instance?

hey ! I'm a beginner, when i'm at the rigging stage, my characters mouth is not opening... do you know why? thanks so much for your wonderful tutorial!
Need to a weight paint to arrange
Thank you very much for this beautiful video. but i have a problem.
In my character, eyebrows and beard are separate objects and they do not move. Please help.
Did you follow the setup process from 11:09 ?
Brows need to be marked as Facial Hair just as I did 16:40
Thanks for the tuto, but i had a problem with shape keys unfortunately, when i try to slide the eye blink, the eyelash mesh doesn't follow for some reason !! any fix for that ?
You have to go back to the creation of the shapekeys and make sure they work well. If you only go with the automatic poses they may not look perfect.
man i can get the head to move with mocap but the shapekeys, despite existing, don't reflect the recorded performance rip. theres like no motion for them
I can only guess what went wrong and I don't have any great guesses right now, sorry :/
superb
please upload 2nd part
Working on it right now :)
very good!
Thank you very much for the tutorial, I followed the process of your tutorial, I loaded audio and text in mocap, clicked import, the shape key to control the face c_jaw_target disappeared, probably what is the possible reason, I hope to get your help
"shape key to control the face c_jaw_target" > I am actually not sure what shapekey that is and why you need it.
43:17 I couldn't switch between the two modes even after following the video exactly. It turns out you have to go to the Viewport Overlays menu (top right, looks like an eclipse) and turn off uncheckmark "Fade Geometry", otherwise it won't work.
I did not know that. You may want to report it to the developer.
For Anime Eyes create the sphere like an actual Eye and select each sphere to their respective eyes
Actual anime eye should be put as Other Right and Other left depending on their case
FOLLOW TUTORIAL UNTIL THE STEP HE MENTIONS THE LOCATORS AND PAUSE
Create locators WITHOUT THE SNAP ENABLE, REPEAT, SNAP MUST NOT BE ENABLED
If you created the sphere of each eye = CONGRATULATIONS! each eye locator should be inside and at the middle of each sphere.
IF NOT! Well... now ya know what to do :p XD
AFTER DOING THIS
Continue with the tutorial and then hide the spheres when the rig is bind
AND VIOLÁ!!! you got your anime eyes rigged as a normal eye ;)
(This has been tested on 2.1.2 and beta version of this video, both works)
Last tip if you are not using beta (but so far beta has been better) as this colleague, join the eyebrows on the mesh with control + J and then procced to select ti as Main the whole head with the Eyebrows joined, that will make the eyebrows to have the baked keys
@CGDive
Awesome, thanks for the mini-tutorial! :)
I would pin it but I have already pinned the resources related to this video.
@@CGDive Anytime, I'm coming back from stopping in 2018 my personal project and the fact that you and others in youtube can make our lifes easier is something I shall support
