KeenTools FaceTracker for Blender (Beta)

Introducing FaceTracker for Blender (Open Beta): our signature face tracking solution has hit the open water and is now available to everyone as a Blender add-on! Get easy access to professional face tracking with custom head meshes generated by the built-in FaceBuilder module right inside of your favourite 3D creation suite. Track faces and seamlessly enhance them with 3D visual effects and simulations — all within Blender!

Key features:
– Fast and accurate tracking
– Integrated FaceBuilder for creating face models on-the-go
– 3D texture mapping for beauty work: (de)ageing, digital makeup, etc.
– FACS blendshapes export
– Intuitive workflow
– Ready for pipelines outside Blender
And many more!

This is an open beta. Download, explore, share your works! We want to see you use it to the fullest.

Important! FaceTracker supports only that face geometry which has FaceBuilder topology. With the release of FaceTracker to public beta, we’ve reset all FaceBuilder trials to let everyone access all of its features including the built-in face building pipeline.

Incredible! Always keeps getting better.

Keentools Facetracker makes it pretty easy to make a digital bald head/cap. Since it’s in Blender as well you could use any head shape you find online or sculpt your own.

Esperaba que hicieran algo así, se ve muy bueno. A ver cuando salga, vamos a probarla.😊

This looks great. Just wanted to give feedback on subscription - there’s no way I’d buy a subscription for any addon, unfortunately. That line of thinking is already very unfortunate- and definitely a fire that must be put out for addons for blender.
I will keep an eye out in case there’s a one time purchase option ever available. I would be willing to pay up to 200-300 dollars for this. But not a subscription…
But, great work on the addon and I wish you the best of success in it.

Wow, gonna try this out on my production. Y'all should do one for a body as well.

Impressive work! Considering how challenging face tracking in 3D can be, it's amazing that with just a simple clip, you can achieve accurate 3D face animation with precise lip-syncing. It would be fantastic if you could expand this tool for face mocap data, especially for indie studios. This could open up new revenue streams, making it a must-have tool in the market. Keep up the great work!

Super powerful brother, if you can develop versions of DaVinci and Fusion, I will definitely buy it

[rhuanpagano]

Body tracking coming any time soon?? Love this!

[joelfranco]

Just like Adobe more subscriptions. Where should an artist have the money for 1000 subscriptions?

[ivanejpg]

long overdue, but it might already be too late, also, subscription based is insane

Thank you for the development of this tool. It works surprisingly well for an out of the box solution and has a lot of controls for refining and getting a look you desire. So far I’ve had less than ideal results with expressions. Maybe it is worth exploring what camera settings or other tips That help with planned shots. I would love to design a shot with the intent to track it with this. What pushes it to the fidelity of motion capture if it indeed is as strong as your geo tracker is

On a basic level attaching objects or textures to the tracked head is very powerful but I’m curious..

Once you have a solid track and 3d motion you like would there be a way to extract that data for use in say after effects? A ‘lockdown to ae’ equivalent button (from the plugin) for this tracker would be the next level. Going from 2d to 3d is awesome but feels like it’s scratching the surface of what can be achieved with modern vfx tools like this.

If an artist is building a 2d solve for beauty cleanup, how could this be used? Importing an fbx of the head and camera for the track? How do we as artists connect the 3d and 2d for our needs?

Super powerful brother, if you can develop a version of 3dsmax, I would also buy it

[wdkpwr]

when there will be possibility to buy this with one time purchase and not monthly?

[josephnjovuvisuals]

How can you use your own 3d head mesh in facial tracker? Can you provide guidelines or just make a video about that, you mentioned in the previous video that you can only use your own 3d model only if it’s unwrapped with the face builder topology how can that be done or what did you mean by

[ukmonk]

Awesome! I already own Geotracker for Blender, will you do this as a bundle please?

[g_niac]

cut to Pierce Brosnan frantically taking an axe to Virtual Space Industries’ entire server inventory, dotting nonsensical ramblings with pleading bursts of “Jobe!”, in a futile attempt to gain mercy

frt, this update looks dope. @KeenTools holding practical application of 3D down. ahead of the game, imho

[iLikeTheUDK]

Is there a way I can extract the motion or deformation of various facial landmarks and map them onto another model?

[artistar]

Could you please elaborate on the potential applications of Keentools in the realm of hand or finger tracking?

[Puer]

Hi, is it possible to use or convert the generated head meshes blendshapes to AR-kit blendshapes? Is that an option in the add on? What I’m wondering is if I can use the addon to drive the facial animation of other characters. Thanks!

[Scalpelboy]

is there any other way to attach the head to a premade body besides CC4? maybe human generator?
