I always get a lot of comments about the 2-key pony keyboard. I wanted to explain how I think they could work. I've been told there is an input device called orbiTouch which works on the same principle.
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 :)
