Unreal Engine Live Link Tutorial | Facial Mocap | Polywink

Start today with Facial Motion Capture using Live Link in Unreal Engine!

This tutorial is for beginners.

Using Polywink's FREE sample model, we show you how to make use of the 52 ARKit blendshapes for facial mocap. Our sample model has been rigged thanks to the Animation for iPhone X service with Polywink technology.

You can also use Bella, our FREE sample model to follow the different steps of this tutorial, or use your own 3D character using your iPhone X (and higher versions).

Does your 3D model need to get 52 custom ARKit blendshapes?
We can get them delivered to you in 24 hours!

God bless you for walking through step by step so easy instead of obnoxiously saying tons of unfamiliar lingo as fast as you can like some other tutorials

This is a fantastic tutorial, thanks very much for this! I'd happened by your site before, but didn't fully appreciate the service you're offering until now. I'm looking forward to working with Polywink on custom characters soon.

It is an amzing tutorial . 15:39 in Make Rotator part. you connect the first float *float to Y(pitch). But the first float * float was come from HEADYAW which is the property Name of Get Property Value. So should it be connected with Z(Yaw), I cannot understand that part, could you please make it more clear?

Rear mirror capturing possible? I want to use the rear camera to capture facial expressions correctly from say a youtube music video. I tried memoji with iPhone only front camera though, I tried flipping the laptop to face the front camera to record but it lags a lot and is inconvenient. Is there out there that allows rear camera capturing? So much more universal and useable say with friends capturing each other's funny moment rather just self.

I made better progress using using this livelink tutorial in 30 minutes than countless hours spend on other solutions using multiple plugins. Thanks! Is there a way to build out the project into an .exe file so that it is free of the UnrealEngine overhead?

[InitialStates]

the best and the most thourough tutorial on this subject ! Great job !

[StevenCookFX]

Good till I got to the neck where there are no bones using the free template. I will have to start over with a new model that has actual bones in it. :/ I have created 2 bones "head and neck" and completed the tutorial and had to do minor changes in the blueprint for the yaw and roll. (they were reversed).
