this guy makes the most efficient blender tutorials
for years!
Been watching your videos for years and learned many useful Blender tricks.
Today I learned your name is Tom.
Talent 100%, Subscriber 10%....this man deserves a million subscribers.
thatd be 20% then
Every month i think to myself "Wow i've gotten really good at blender" and then one of these videos pop up on my feed and i realize just how much of a summer child i am. Great video tho 10/10
really love their stuff but I 100% agree that it should be a one time thing, It's a great set of tools to have but I only need them every once in a while and the idea of needing to buy, register, and pay for sometimes all of their tools just for sometimes 1 day or 1 shot, it kinda sucks, let me pay you a fair price up front and then it's just mine
I'd probably pay for these tools for a one-time use. I have three faces I need scanned. Why can't I give you $3/head and track those three or something? Why is it $50/month or $400 to use it forever.
@@darrennew8211 $499.
I have the money to burn at the moment but there's no way I'm going to pay that amount for something I'm only going learn with.
Keen tools should be boycotted for going against the blender ecosystem ethos of being an affordable alternative to corporate greed driven software. Instead of offering their programs reasonably priced like 99% of all blender add-ons. They have the audacity to have Adobe level devious subscription services to their software. 18 dollars a month is straight up hog level avarice . people need to take a stand now before this insanity becomes mainstream in the blender community. plenty of alternatives to them don’t buy their stuff and don’t promote it.
@@mach3904 What's a good cheap alternative for making a 3D scan of a face?
@@mach3904 Yeah I've been burned out of subscriptions. Not going down that path again. Especially for a tool I'll use maybe once a year.
Default Cube caveman arc, I love it.
I do not understand how you are not at a million subs yet?? Awesome videos brotha!
16:30 man watching this advanced "blending" in blender is almost exactly like how i would work with layer styles in photoshop, only more complex, because Blender. nice stuff
yay my favorite youtuber uploaded again!
I like all your tutorials, even the lazy ones, but damn this one is impressive man, great work. Thanks!
Finally, the face tracker was only available in Nuke nice to see that they have made a blender one
I’d probably use it if it worked on non human faces as well. For human faces this is BY FAR the best facial tracking I’ve seen.
did the face tracking on my cat.you just need to model their face
Edge case for me for sure, but informative as always
Awesome job man, you are the
Thats the best addon after Flip fluids :D
Buying that instantly as it goes in ´´one time purchase mode´´
Video saved. One day I hope to get back to this. Thanks man, interesting.
fuckin' hell dude, you are a natural born teacher. I barely blinked I was so engrossed.
Holy shit your hair and beard look amazing and don't listen anyone who says you the opposite.
We have Black Myth Wukong at home.
Wukong at home:
😁
Cube Myth Wukong😁😁😁
Thought the same thing haha
This is the only Default Cube I never wanna destroy
underrated content
I always watch through the whole tutorial although it may not be my niche. He’s ever interesting .
triggered! using 1000x1000 instead of 1024x1024 for your facial texture! Jk this is really helpful! The voronoi 'face censor' method is SUPER COOL reminds me of A Scanner Darkly kinda. Also I totally want to see a tutorial of the beard only talking.
Removing that beard using this app would be cg matter stuff
Mind blown.. I just watched the old playing with meat... balls...video and now beard is also included.
Goat
Thank you so much for this tutorial, so interesting! :D
Amazing!!!!!!
Keen tools is pretty neat but paying over and over and over again for a tool you can't own is pretty not neat. Subscription models for tools need to make like dinosaur. I will never subscribe to a tool no matter how neat it is
its actually monthly payment, so technically you could use this add on for 1 month then cancle the subcription without worrying about penalty like Adobe is doing now, pretty cheep compare to perceptual license.
11:26 You just found your new avatar in left bottom corner 🙃
awesome video
👑
nice beard tutorial
went from office to homeless real fast
You had me pretty well convinced on this one until you mentioned the subscription. I won't be doing that one.
tanks
any non subscription based versions of this out right now? faceit mo cap and rokoko both suck
Come for face tracking. Stay for the master class on rendering realistic hair 😮.
question: this can be export to unreal engine as fbx file? and if so, the facial animation go as well?
Could have shown us the finished product mate ... still very cool tho
For real, that was a pis off. Now im not even gunna subscribe.
I guess it is shown in the starting of the video.
He spend 20 minutes making an image of a video exactly like it already was.
I know you love CG on live video but can this be translated to a face rig for animating characters? Or is there a better way to do that?
Oh just change the PC date for keen tools and your good 😊
blender really be making face capture, but face creation from images is an unofficial plugin
How I can transfer face motion to rigify face rig❤
Alright I open blender then I delete the default cube and then what ?
Why does my imported movie clip come in upside down????
Great tutorial my man, gotta point out, though, that the hair you added is too thin and fine, not wirey or blunt enough IMO to look perfectly realistic. Looks like a social app's filter. To fix this, and I may have missed it (sorry if I did) you could add slight randomness to the hair thickness to help with realism via either a driver / a clouds texture/ or by weight-paint with random values across the vertex weights, autogenerated on the animated mesh, plus you could add general minor randomness of the blondness value across the whole area and the occasional random blond/white hairs as outliers. Facial hair is naturally patchy, so randomly reduce follicular density in areas both randomly and selectively while you're there via same method. Batch it for efficiency.
+please up the Subsurface scattering + put in a quick and dirty cuculouris made from a subdivided plane with many faces deleted via selection filtered by "random selection" with a value matching the broken lighting of the footage, its LocRot parallel to the local axis of a single point light's direction shining through it onto the render layer of the beard (manually matching the footage's lighting source direction). This shouldn't take long at all, and I think all of it will give you a more naturalistic outcome.
Ps could you do something like parent some strands/clumps to wiggle bones to add secondary motion?
sorry for the long message x
is there a need of an iphone for this?
Is this method better than iphone face mocap?
Lol I’m the 2000th to like this vid 😂😂😂
I mean its cool but, whats the point if they force you to use their geo ? retargeting to another mesh is going to be impossible.
Dude.
You Already
Have
A Beard.
now lemme ask you for a task:
####Do facial mo cap using geo, and then re target the same facial mocap to another 3d model face.
"Basically, mocap at high fidelity in blender using geo while using your recorded facial acting and then re-target that facial mocap on another model, which should result in higher quality as compared to unreal engine's unreal live link which has only 52 shape keys functions using iphone targetted to 236 shapekeys, which is a marketing gimmick or a scam."
#### in second stage reuse that facial mocap on auto rig pro models or, models having animations of their own. just retarget the facial mocap on them.
do this and then i shall challenge you with even more higher level tasks
can do it in blender 3.3.1
If you're wondering how much the addon costs it's $∞
Just realized some of the older videos have the comments disabled, what happened?
5:50 😵💫🤣
i want to know the brightness level of your pc
but how to do it for free?
When I get rich, I'm totally buying this program.
@dronedotguy
If that's the same program I remember using in the past, it has a free trial, but if you want to keep it the price is around $150.
@dronedotguy for 29 days.. that's not free
Very cool tool, but I absolutely refuse to buy anything for Blender that’s a monthly subscription.

@@mach3904 Very true. $18 a month is equivalent to a full piece of software, and way too much for a plugin. Especially when there are free alternatives almost if not equally as good.
I want to own my tools, like I own my drill, and not get screwed by it. Software shouldn't be a subscription. Leave that for TH-cam.
2:40 You look like an Ewok here. 😄
lul
Very convenient. Only thing is that now with pretty decent video to video AI models tracking becomes an unnecessary process in half the cases. Supply an initial and an end frame, and it fill flow what happens inbetween. No rendering, no nothing. Just A to B. 3D, like Blender is still useful, but it's just used for supplying rough concepts. Having done tracking the old way for 20+ years, this is a gamechanger. I keep learning Blender techniques to keep up, but I find just not using them anymore. AI does 90% of VFX tasks already, except extremely difficult cases, or situations where there are multiple action planes that have to be timed. Still, in a year, I can see barely opening Blender or Nuke at all, except some final integration and cleanup...
Facegen Better than Facebuilder . but i like Facebuilder.....
monthly? i'm good, lool 🤣🤣
Paid trialware plugins for an Open Source application should be made illegal, i understand it took alot of work but they might as well build it as its own closed source application at this point and put adobe at the top of the toolname.
Not really, by releasing paid addons they are still supporting the open source application by making more users want to install it. Your demand is silly, it's like saying that all software running on Linux should be free because Linux is free or that all people should work for free (and how are they going to earn their living then? certainly not just from output of their free products because any fool can use this software to create output while it takes actual rare skill to create an addon like this).
the issue is is that you have “buy to try” this.. not that it is a paid addon for blender.
You have to buy the package> and then pay again for the full license to continue using it after 30 days.
Then make yourself Bald and the great Heisenberg.
it is not free,per month 5 dollars
yeah im fuckin tired of subscriptions
bro tutorial is x2 speed
plot twist, your beard was never real... also fuck that dude for making it a subscription
When i try install blender 4.2 in my pc:
Blender need CPU with SSE4.2 to run!
get a lower version
which is compatible to your pc
It costs $18 a month. No thanks.
There are very good free solutions out there now.
Such as...
I have a rig with all kinds of expressions FACS, visemes, etc. I'd rather video drives them than do this kind of thing.
Motion Capture 1.0 is DEAD!
Blender 4.2 sucks. Bummer, was looking forward to it. Broke my machine, can't render shite. So many problems, Have to stay with 4.1, which actually works.

If you cancel it after the first month do you still have to pay for 11 other months? If not it's not as bad as Adobe. The problem with Adobe wasn't that they charged too many dolans. The problem with Adobe was it wouldn't let you stop paying them dolans and would force you to pay for a full year despite advertising a monthly cancel anytime subscription.
@@DemiSupremiyou can't really directly compare to adobe, they are just getting started with their greed. they will get there
@@IronKore You can and I did. You doubt your own abilities. I however do not. Especially considering the op also has this ability but failed on the most important mark. Which I correctly stated.
Do not project the doubt of your abilities unto others apprentice.
@@DemiSupremi my remarks about Adobe were somewhat hyperbolic which you should’ve realised. So while they may not be quite as bad as Adobe they are still in the same discussion. because yes many people hate the subscription model and consider it predatory behaviour. And as I pointed out this is something that blender has traditionally shied away from.
@@mach3904 While yes people hate subscription models. If the problem is a Netflix don't pretend it's an Adobe or you might look like someone with the iq of the average Dreamweaver user.
wow dude, is your barber dead?
Nope.
I know this is unrelated but give the Quran a read
