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 :)
