I've tried both AccuFace and iPhone Live Link for animating my character through face tracking.
AccuFace offers much more than just live face tracking via camera. It's a comprehensive suite with numerous features, fine-tuning options, and the capability to create animations from video sources, among other functionalities. Although the $300 price tag might seem steep, it's justified given the extensive range of tools it provides, making it a good addition to any workflow.
In contrast, I find the $200 price for iPhone Live Link harder to justify. It primarily functions as a face animation plugin, mapping existing components without offering body animation. Essentially, it's not that Reallusion owns the face tracking feature in the iPhone :)
It’s worth to notice that it used to be available for free (just a blueprint) on Unreal Engine until the upgrade to version 5.
As an iClone8/CC4 user, I guess I have the right to complain about this :)
Opinions?
