Face capture tools
Added 2021-11-17 17:20:18 +0000 UTCHello guys,
As mentioned, I am currently working on a face capture. We have a few tools in a list that will be used in the overall workflow.
As a starting point both Avatary AutoFace and Metahuman will be used for creating the blendshapes and then after a month will continue to use Faceit in Blender. It were chosen all three, because unfortunately each of these tools has its own drawbacks.
To drive blenshapes will use ARKit by Apple and Omniverse Audio2Face by nVidia.
The general list of investments looks like this (sorted by priority):
- Avatary subscription for 10$/month. This is a basic subscription and will probably sign up for a higher price.
- iPhone with Face ID support. X, XS, XR, 11, 12 or 13. Prices are somewhere between $450 to $1100 for device.
- Avatary D2 Monocular system for $469.00. This is an alternative Face ID solution. But it is likely that we will get both, because a helmet is a must.
- Any RTX GPU to run Omniverse Audio2Face. Not sure about that yet, as buying a low-end card would not be a good idea. And buying 3090 at the current price is insane. If you know where I can get RTX 3090 at around $1500 to $1800 in Europe please let me know.
We will keep you updated. Everything looks interesting here.
