ReveRig w/ FaceCap: How to Retarget Facial Mocap Animation

Описание: Hi, this is a quick guide on how you can use ReveRig in combination with Face Cap and an Apple iPhone to create amazing facial animations quickly and easily.
ReveRig is a Blender Add-on specially designed to facilitate the facial animation process, from the creation of the rig, to the retargeting phase up to allowing precise management of the animation itself.

GREAT NEWS: version 1.10 is now available which allows you to automatically rename the shape keys of the model created with FaceCap. This saves you additional time😉.

ReveRig offers you the possibility to retarget animation quickly and easily.
It also offers important tools to be able to accurately manage the entire facial animation.

Face cap is a facial motion capture solution for iPhones and iPad Pros equiped with a true depth front facing camera.
The system is based on Apple's ARKit technology. Facial animation can be captured directly with your iPhoneX series device (also on iPhone 13). The various facial expressions are defined by 52 ARKit shape keys.

How to create 52 ARKit shape keys?
manually
through external services such as Polywink
another approach is to download or purchase 3D models already equipped with the necessary 52 shape keys. You can use Daz3D or CC3 (Character Creator version 3.4).
