This is the BEST realtime facial mocap I've seen (no jitters) quick easy setup (seemingly no calibration needed) and oddly someone made it free/open source. Now wouldn't this be a big attraction/incentive for users to migrate to iClone if it were added hopefully -as a bonus feature..

Here is a youtube video of the demonstration and a link to the open source code

Now after this if iClone Dev somehow added the "leap motion" sensor for hands we may have a complete realtime mocap system!

 

Please rate 5 stars if you would like iClone to develop this into iClone, I don't know how often Reallusion team checks the forums for development requests - a high thread rating may get some action.

Interesting software kurtin, thanks for sharing :)

Very Interesting Software. ICLONE should grab it, develop and release ASAP.

Mixamo just announced a markerless webcam-based Mocap solution for use in Unity, called Face Plus.

Of course this is not free or open source, but I would rather have something that works.

That's very cool.  I'm sure Vidi and Cherry will try it in Unity.  Wait and See :)

I definitely do not want to pay 1499 every year for Face Plus, not unless I were a big studio being flooded by money in all directions. There is faceshift too but it's not as clean, needs more calibration but at least you have the software for the rest of your life, no money drainage in particular for Indie Artists & hobbyists or new studios on a tight budget.

My point is that markerless facial animation using a webcam is possible, so it is something for RL to look into.

WOW.... didn't see the price...!  :w00t:

Yes if only companies realize that if they over price things, the potential customer is likely to get extremely frustrated and create a free version of the same kind of product that may be superior and ultimately ends that company. I think some of them now realize like Autodesk that if they overprice, consumers get together and create open source that may rival their own. Blender is such an example that now the big companies are feeling it and are lowering prices and working to adapt appeasing potential customers by including export and import preset/options compatible with Blender etc.
