    To fix the issues with the Open Mouth with cc3 characters you have to select the "Mouth Open As Morph" in the advanced export options in cc3. Hope that helps!

    For the Human Generator addon, what's the difference between using the addon's existing face rig and creating the landmarks from scratch with the Faceit addon and then generating a rig/binding it/then loading the expressions separately? Which is a better option? Should someone who has the Human Generator addon stick to the existing face rig because the landmarks are correct and we don't need to guess and estimate the landmark for the Faceit addon because it's already set up or should we create one from scratch for better control of shapekeys? Are the 52 Arkit shapekeys the same regardless of whether we use the Faceit addon facial rig and the Human Generator addon facial rig besides the tongue shapekey? Also can rigify face animations be retargeted onto Faceit addon rig? I would love a follow-up video on the complete workflow of how to connect the eyes, teeth, tongue, etc., and how to retarget existing ARkit shapekeys using not only Human Generator's facial rig but also Blender's rigify facial rig as well with the Faceit addon. I've seen a lot of your workflow videos for retargeting to rigify but for the body rig and I would love to see retargeting for the face rig as well. For example retargeting Blender rigify face rig (vice versa) Faceit face rig and Blender rigify face rig(vice versa) to Human Generator's facial rig etc. using Faceit's retargeting system, Autorigpro's retargeting system and Rokoko retargeting system. Can you also go over Faceit addon's FBX retargeting feature using existing Rigify's face rig animation from another character? Thank you!

    • @CGDive
      @CGDive  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The faceit rig is more advanced so do set it up if you want the additional control. But if you just want something that works with minimal hassle, then stick with the HG one.

    I can recamend you use frame dropping under playback in the timeline.
    Its very useful to make your blender file run much faster.
    And also simplify, under Render propties and then in simplify, set viewport max subdivisions to 0
    This has saved me tones of hours, no need to render your animation to check the timing

    Incidentally, there's a work around that allows you to have more than one Faceit character in a scene. You need to create a shapekey driver which can be done automatically using the Reverig addon. It creates it's own rig and you retarget to that rig. You must make sure that each character's rig has a different name. I've found this to be a solid system and the built-in retargeting tool is extremely easy to use. It's a bit expensive for an addon with just a few features but it solves a problem. Also, the developer hasn't developed it in over a year, which is worrying, however, it still works in Blender 3.5

      @@CGDive I really like FaceIt for making the shapekeys but I always got confused by the retargeting options and either ended up writing over previous keyframes or them not sticking at all. I think that's my fault, however, I never have that problem with Reverig. You just decide which frame you want the retargeting to happen and hit retarget. It just works. You have to use FBX files which means you also need to use Autodesk FBX converter to change them to binary fbx files. This is quick to do once you're setup. Another benefit is when you use it in conjunction with Animation Layers. I lay down the main facial mocap on the base layer then add the extra emotions needed on a secondary layer. I could do this with FaceIt if I kept the face rig active, of course. I haven't tried that yet.

Also, I was wondering, is there a way to reverse engineer existing shape keys with this? For example, Character Creator has some specific (none ARKit) shape keys for facial mocap inside of iClone, it'd be awesome if there was a way to convert those shape keys to rig/bone positions, to then save them out as a new expression set for use on future characters.

    At around 6.00 you mention about a limitation. If you have multiple characters to animate, don't you then need to save them in separate files and then append or link to them? I could not append or link between scenes in same file, or have I misunderstood something?

    I made a facial animation with faceit and imported it into UE. Then I loaded this facial animation sequence and the character's body animation sequence together on the character in the level sequence and played it. I found that the facial expression animation seemed to be affected by the body animation, resulting in less exaggerated and rich facial expressions than before. How can I solve this problem?

I had the latest beta version of Faceit and then went back to the release version - but the results are the same. When I select the character (which btw I used CC Facepro - which shouldn't matter as the character is still based upon the CC3 object) - I get an error: Main Face Vertex Island could not be found. I've tried on two different characters with the same error. The vertex groups for the character are all there, but Faceit won't let me continue with the Shapes menu - nothing shows up and I don't get the prompt to select CC3 or CC3+ character. Any clues what I might be doing wrong?

    At 38:50 you bake the mocap-data to the FaceItControlRig. Later on (46:50) you tweak the face_action generated at 39:52 using the NLA. With the FaceItControlRig selected you are setting location, rotation and scale-keys to tweak the shapekeys. This leads me to the question, if FaceIt maybe could solve a problem I have: Exporting a model as DMX (Binary9, Modell 22 (Modeldoc)) with Blender Source Tools (BST 3.2.5).
    BST does not support the export from Blender key-actions (where shapekey actions are normally stored). BST only supports the export of bone movements. Shapekeys can be stored by "generate flex controllers" into the DMX, but due the lack of shapekey-actions there I know no way to drive the shapekeys in modeldoc.
    My question: Is the FaceItControlRig a game-read rig? And do you know, in which way the location, rotation and scale-data of the FaceItControlRig is connected to the shapekeys? My hope: If these are action-keys, they maybe drive the flex_controllers in Modeldoc.
    I would like to test it, can we find a way to do so?

I have never used FaceIt, just asking questions...hoping FaceIt will allow these bone and face shapes to work together in UE5.
