The Only Coherent Explanation As To Why The Ponies Sometimes Seem Embarrassed About Being Nude Despite

very first face tracking test for soap cats, I'm really happy with it! Definitely need to work on refining a lot of the shapes though

gonna blab a whole lot more under the cut because ppl dont usually reblog art posts that have 200 paragraphs haha

So! I'm getting a quest pro headset real soon, and that's why I'm making facetracking for soap cats. However this video is using ARKit data (iphone) from a really nice person in my discord who sent it to me. (i do not own an iphone/ipad)

I'm setting up all of this with the quest pro in mind, using the unified expressions standard, but i renamed the shape keys to arkit shape keys so they could use the same animation keyframes so i could see em in action before the headset arrives

if people aren't super familiar with how face tracking works, basically i have to custom sculpt a TON of face shapes that the tracking device blends between. This video is animating 50 of them, but I've made 70 in total! And I think it might end up being more like 72-74.. i skipped a few mouth shapes I thought weren't necessary. The actual amount of shapes i had to Sculpt is a little lower, since most of them need to be split up into left and right versions and some of them upper and lower too. But it's still a lot!

& a final note, this is seriously just my first pass at the face tracking. Documentation for what shapes to make and how to make them is a bit barebones, so I had no idea how it would all look together until I rendered out this video. I'm planning on making it look a lot nicer with way less clipping :)

My wallpaper is this "Pinkie Pie breaking the fourth wall" version of the default Windows Vista wallpaper (which I AI-upscaled a bit because it was really low-res)

I use Open Shell to give myself an XP-style start menu (although the programs fly-out is getting really big lol), while also giving the menu and the taskbar highly-tranparent glass effects.

And finally, for my media player of choice, I use Windows Media Player 9 with the K-Lite Codec Pack. It handles so many different formats that I don't need to use VLC.

And it does it really well.

(Guide works with Windows 10 as well, iirc)

Enjoy! ✨

But yeah, wish Microsoft just let you customize the hell out of it out of the box. Ideally, I'd probably use Windows XP "Zune" theme, if they'd let you load that.
