I'm trying to get a basic understanding of Motion Live 2D and Face3D Profile. 

First, are these Windows only add-ons for CA 4?  If yes, I'm on a Mac, so there's no need to explain further.

Is Face3D Profile part of Motion Live 2D?  Or a different software?

Sorry, my Google searches seem to be getting me even more confused about these features.  I get the general idea of how they're supposed to work, but can't really figure out how/where to get them and use them etc.

Thanks!

Hi...

Motion LIVE 2D and Face3D are available for Macs. :)

Face3D is a motion capture profile for the Motion LIVE 2D plug-in allowing you to use a standard webcam to capture facial animation.

You can find it the "Add-Ons" section of the page below. It comes in a bundle called the "2D Facial Mocap Suite". This contains both the Motion LIVE 2D and the Face3D profile.

Did you use the leap motion device?
If you use the leap motion device, you must install the leap motion SDK 4.0 on your computer.

First, you must check your hub update section, check for Leap motion profile updated.
Second check Motion LIVE 2D updated.
This is my serial version.
Cartoon Animator: 4.51
Motion LIVE 2D: 1.21
Leap Motion: 1.01

If you would like to do mocap by leap motion, you have to prepare the below things:
1. Cartoon Animator 4
2. Motion LIVE 2D
3. Leap Motion Profile
4. Leap Motion SDK 4.0
5. Leap Motion Controller

Peter, thanks for clearing up my confusion, appreciate it.

I'm probably getting ahead of myself here though, as I can't yet even install CA4 due to OSX install problems which are preventing me from obtaining the required version of OSX for CA4.  However, that delay is keeping me focused on tutorials and the manual, which is probably good.
