Thank you for this quick and easy to follow tutorial! I got it up and running in just a few minutes. It makes me so happy that I can test in blender in real time so that I find out if anything isn't working before doing the whole unity process and finding out I need to adjust something.
Hi. Something is not working with Facemotion 3D with Blender. I bought subscription etc, and start to Live streaming of my Iphone 12 mini to Blender, Blender is live streaming correct from Iphone, but there is no way to record. Its Recording but its fakerecording and Blender "Now Baking" takes forever , what can be wrong? Thanks.
Does this not work in blender 2.9? I have blender 2.9. Did everything in this video. Keep getting a message on pc app "ios not connected. Restart app on iPhone". Everytime. Now it wont even connect at all. Disappointing
Hi Of course it works with Blender 2.9. Connection-related problems can be mostly resolved on the following pages. please confirm. www.ifacialmocap.com/q-a/ Is it only the "Bake Recorded Animation" feature that doesn't work for you? Is normal "Connect to Blender" working?
@@PEKOCHANNEL the connect isnt working either. At 1st the app had ip address info. But since i typed into pc app & phone app it connected. But now i cant get anything.
@@PEKOCHANNEL tried everything in q&a section. Still will not connect. I sent fbx to email & imported it. That worked but since its not arkit with 52 shapekeys i cant just easily target animate my rigged model. Im very new to animation & looking for easy way to capture motion & transfer it to a arkit rigged model. I used faceit & reverig.
@@Dusty_Iron If it just doesn't work in your environment, you can use the faceit add-on to load the text file output from live link face. On the q&a page, I wrote about how to send the "ping" command. Did you get any response when you sent the ping command? Is your iPhone Wi-Fi turned on?
Hi , if i want add my avatar character and i have only three shape keys one for head one for eyes to blink and one for jaw to open and close how can I use these three shape keys with your app
In iFacialMocap, the ShapeKeys for blinking are named eyeBlinkLeft and eyeBlinkRight. The opening and closing of the jaw is named jawOpen. The iFacialMocap desktop application has the ability to rename the ShapeKey that is used. Please change their values to match the names of the ShapeKeys your avatar has.
Hi, It looks great, but I want to konw, when you baked the recording to the animation file in Unity, could I edit the animation file, like refining the animation untill I'm happy with it, Thank you!
Thank you for using the app. I don't know how to bake an animation in Unity. Blender allows you to bake animations so you can edit the baked animations.

The Mac does not work, I tested the 1.3 and 1.2 versions. Use the Ctrl key to open the file, it will jump out of the right-click menu and press to open, and it cannot control the model in BLENDER
I've tested version 1.13 on a Mac and it's working fine. Does that mean you can't open the desktop app? Or does it mean that when you open the desktop app, it doesn't communicate properly with Blender? To open the desktop app on your Mac, you need to press the "Open" button twice. I haven't seen it behave on the M1 Mac, so maybe you're having problems if you're using it. Tell me a little more about your situation.
@@PEKOCHANNEL Thank you, it's now solved. Because after an hour later, it pops up the window and ask for permission of firewall. Now it’s working perfectly, thank you!
I use Faceit in blender 2.9 to create the shape keys and bought Facemotion3D app (Faceit said it support this app but without any instructions. Facemotion3D said it will work onlyif the character follow the shape key rules.),but it doesn't work.I'm not sure what's wrong with it~
In the facemotion3D iOS app, go to Settings -> Streaming Settings and open the blender tab. In the "face object group name" field, enter the name of your character's mesh. It may work if you do that.
Hi,i think im missing something here,the app connects to the pc application and i have the green bar showing telling me that data is being transferred,but nothing is moving in blender,i also tried this with 3ds max it and im facing the same issue.
Hi, Sorry for the late reply. If the blue bar responds but you cannot communicate, often the problem is that the communication is blocked by the Windows firewall. Please refer to the following video to allow iFacialMocap firewall. th-cam.com/video/G9sLSCyOk0s/w-d-xo.html If this does not work, I offer other solutions.
Hello my friend. A big thank you for the addon which works very well for me. So I'm waiting for you to one day do seated animation with your arms, frankly it would be a first in this world of animation with Facemotion 3D. Let us know or a software update video. THANKS.
So, sometimes my app just doesnt connect even after updating the app and my pc (also pc software) i also updated the IP addresses on Ifacialmocap as well as the software on my PC (vmagicmirror & Luppet) what is going on ??? how can i fix it ?
Hi, I think the app works great! Congratulations! The 52 shape keys are working, however, I am not having any luck with the three bones. I added them to a rigify rig for a whole human, not just the face. I've named the three target bones the same, but my head does not move. Any suggestions?
Currently, the bone settings in this app do not work for Blender's Rig, only for the armature bones. Therefore, it is recommended to create bones in the same position as the rig and animate to the bones. Then you need to constrain from the bone to the rig. I would like to update this so that I can animate directly on the Rig someday.
@@PEKOCHANNELAre there any updates on this topic? Is it possible to somehow maintain the position of the model using the rig? Or only through edit mode?
When I saw this comment, I didn't understand about rigfy at first, but perhaps iFacialMocap can move the rigfy rig. After pressing "Open Advanced Settings" in the iFacialMocap desktop app, try entering "rig" in the "Armature" field. It might work. Please give it a try.@@ProstoBella
hi i have one question, i want to track my face to my avatar with my iphone, but i see that i have to create the 52 blendshapes with the correct names and do the animation manually. With this app i also need that? or automatically blender takes my face tracking without doing anything? thanks!!
hi.Yes. You will need to create 52 blendshapes manually. If you find it tedious, there is a paid add-on for blender to create blendshapes called Faceit.
I'm having a small issue where ifacialmocap is transmitting that my jaw is partially open which is affecting the jaw/mouth on my avatar. Is there a fix or a workaround for the issue to make the mouth fully close.
Hi.Thank you for using iFacialMocap. I do not know how your avatar's MOUTH works. If it's possible, I might be able to offer a solution if you send me a video attachment to my home page email address and let me know what's going on. If you want the calibration feature of BlendShape, iFacialMocap does not have that feature. Due to some compatibility issues, I could not put it on. However, the application "Facemotion3d" does have such a function.
i get all the way to the point where the iPhone says its connected to the PC and the Application says its connected to the iPhone. But Blender doesn't seem to be animating the TestObj at all. when ever its Waiting for a connection the Viewport will Slow down. Almost like its Connected. but the model never Animates. i have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
i figured it out, apparently i had to disable my firewall entirely. (i had created Port Exceptions already. but apparently that wasn't enough) so to anyone else having this issue. Try disabling the Firewall for abit. that's clearly not a safe way to solve this issue. but it works in a pinch. i assume the Dev can provide more insight on how to actually allow the app through the port. (my firewall is By AVG)
@@PEKOCHANNEL yeah, i allowed an exception in both my AntiVirus and the Built in firewall in windows for the ports listed in that Document. 50002, 50001 and 50003 i believe it didn't fix it. only thing that does fix it is disabling the firewall altogether.
@@1ard103 The iFacialMocap desktop app uses port 49983 on Windows/Mac to communicate with the iOS app. If port 49983 is being used by other software, it will not be able to communicate. To find out what software is using port 49983, close the iFacialMocap desktop app once. Then, after that, open the Windows command prompt. At the command prompt, type "netstat -ano" and note down the PID number of the software that is using port 49983. Based on the PID number, identify the name of the software that is using the port and kill it.

android? older versios of android please
In the future I may make it, but the release date is undecided. It will take a few months, maybe a year or more.
how do you use it on another character ??
You need to model it yourself, referring to the shape key of the sample avatar. You can also use the Faceit add-on.
So Rich guys can do this, why not for android, we dnt have iPhone
it's really cheap app, but u need to buy an iphone first, lol
