I have a logitech 9000 pro web cam.  When I ope the gear and click on web cam it does not have any webcam in there it is blank.
When I look in the Motion LIve 2D screen it does recognize the audio as my web cam and when I hit record and talk it does record my
voice.  I just don't get any screen that shows my face with the eyes nose and mouth like in the tutorials.  My webcam is on obviously or
I would not have sound.  Can you please help.  Thank YOu.  Hugs Elsie Roach

Hi Elsie

When you open Face3D Tracker and choose Settings do you have anything listed in the Camera dropdown? (see below)

If you don't, check that the webcam is working correctly in other software. For example, in Windows 10 you can choose the Camera App and check it is working with that.

Now it goes back to the error message and I can't click the green button at all and the record is greyed out.  I have windows 7
I don't know how to open the Face Tracker  I open CTA4 and go to plug ins and open the Motion Live 2D  but it does not open the
face tracker ever.  Not sure what I did different last night that at least made the green dot and the record option on.  When I use
my camtasia and go to record screen and turn of the web cam it finds the camera and there is a picture. So the web cam is working.  I am not sure how to just have the web cam on, if I open the software itself it comes on but it still  will not connect to the Facial thing. grrr  Thank you for any help.  Hugs

For some reason maybe the Face Tracker had not installed all the way, I think, as the hub kept telling me something did not completely install. so finally I guess it did and I found an icon on the desktop for it so then I was able to open it.  So I believe problem solved.  Thank you for your help. Hugs

Do make sure you have installed both the Motion LIVE 2D plugin and the Face3D profile. This should give you an icon on your Desktop for the Face3D Tracker which you need to launch and have running.

If you do still have problems please post a screenshot showing the Face3D Tracker open with any error messages you receive.

If you bought it, it should be in your purchases, it comes with
Motion LIVE 2D Plug-in for Cartoon Animator   Face3D Profile for Motion LIVE 2D Plug-in
I hope that helps, not sure what exactly you mean by where is it.  Hugs

If you're a Windows user, a shortcut should be created on the desktop, and a folder should be created by the name "Face3D Tracker" in the start menu
If you're a macOS user, the application could be found in the applications folder or launcher.
look for this icon in the above-mentioned locations

-   -   -
the Face3D Tracker is a standalone application that is installed along with the Face3D profile,
hence there is no separate installation needed for the Tracker.

You have to launch the Face3D Tracker application first.

Thank you for the answer but that is not the problem. I did launch the 3d face tracker first.
problem is the 3d face tracker application does not recognize my camera. you can see what I mean. as there is no option in the camera list, I do not have a clue about what needs to be done.https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/d655c7a5-d78e-4b2a-a8d7-e6c3.png

I would like to state that I have the exact same Problem and no clue how to solve it. As well. My camera works fine online and with the win10 microsoft cam app.
A response would be greatly appreciated. Wether or not I am willing to purchase this software really depends on its functionality. I am not prepared to spend another 100+ for a new high resolution webcam
because issues are not being adressed.
Thank you.

Hi...

From your screenshot it appears the webcam is only being identified as a generic USB PC Camera with no identifying information. This would indicate that your webcam does not have correct drivers installed.

I would try getting the latest Windows 10 drivers from your webcam manufacturers website and install those to see if it makes a difference.

If you do need to get a new webcam you won't need to spend $100. Even a cheap Logitech 720p HD webcam will only cost around $30 and will work fine with Face3D.

It took me a while to figure out that I needed to also download Face 3D Tracker. A simple answer for the complete newbie like me. Smile

First I thought, why doesn't it work... But I only forgot to chose the right webcam in the Face 3D Tracker settings. So, now it works great! :-) Couldn't delete my post, sorry.

The Face3D Tracker is installed when you install the "Face3D Profile for Motion LIVE 2D". You can install this using the Reallusion Hub or from your Reallusion Account > Registration page.

So the install process would be:

Install Cartoon Animator 4
Install Motion LIVE 2D
Install Face3D Profile for Motion LIVE 2D

You will then have everything you need  for facial mocap in Cartoon Animator 4 using a webcam.
