Blender 2.8 Facial motion capture tutorial

In this blender 2.8 tutorial we go over how we can use blender as a free facial motion capture solution. Track facial performance using just tracking markers and blender!

He even makes sure we don't die from ink poisoning during the process. Gotta give him all the credit he deserves.

This software blows my mind on a weekly basis.

16:20 Here's how you set the Depth Object for all Empties at once *WITHOUT USING A SCRIPT* :
1. Select all the Empties
2. Go to Constraints Tab
3. Click on the Box for selecting Depth Object, but when you select your Mesh, press ALT + Left Mouse Button. (Holding down "Alt" will apply the Depth Object to all selected Empties)

I like how you casually close with "but that's all I have for you guys today..." as if this isn't the most thorough, compact, useful and info-loaded tutorial I've ever seen! It will take me months of learning Blender to achieve this! I hit that sub button like whack-a-mole!


Thanks CGMatter!

[wingboy]

top quality tutorial in under 24 minutes taught me more than anything i've seen on the web, thank you!

[buhmtr]

apart from the tutorial, i respect on how many times you had put points on your face and washing again and repeat. thanks for the hard work and time you are putting for us man.. worth watching the whole video

Hey CGMatter, your tutorials are absolutely amazing, I think you should have an extra section on your patreon for a $1, 000 donation or more. Because there are some wealthy people out there and I don't think you realise the amount of value that you provide.

It would've taken me 2-3 months to figure out what you put in this tutorial. And what is 2-3 months on a salary? could easily be $3-$4k or more especially as a professional 3D artist. Your tutorials provide MUCH more value than you think and people will want to give back for that value.

I think this is one of the greatest Blender tutorials to date. I'm sharing this video everywhere. Thank you for your fanatstic work.

[YuriRadavchuk]

Omg, besides this sci-fi technology done in freeware tools, you're even showing how to script in Blender. My mind is blown.
P.s. The scripting flow in blender is much easier than I imagined thanks to you.

[dr.pixels]

this is a great solution for freelancers with zero budget to start into mocap. thank you so much

[AlexParkYT]

Wow now I get why Blender is highly praised even more.

[samuelhildebrandt]

You're a very good teacher.

Doing something as simple as showing how to fix the one track point that was bugging out, will help alot of newbies.

I almost know nothing about blender but was able to follow this through entirely.

I'm a C# developer and my channel focusses on C# tutorials. C# is great for Unity but I can see that I might have to increase my knowledge of Python because I absolutely love Blender. Amazing tutorial. Just subscribed!

[CousinCringe]

Please continue these. You are one of the only Blender tutorial creators that actually does unique cool shit.

[fadyi]

that's all i have for you today.... usually i watch 45 mins videos for just one piece of information that matters! my dude just layered 25 mins in brain melting knowledge. thank you !

[PB-sqvw]

Thanks for your tutorial. I am a engineer who focus on solving real-time facial applications and this video actually inspires me a lot.
I think that its possible to detect the facial landmark with AI which makes the program more easy to use.

[sanjacobs]

My goodness man, you've got the best advanced blender tutorials I've ever seen. The pacing is great, the techniques are as advanced as they need to be, and yet you explain it perfectly well! Thank you!

[Kreuzrippengewoelbe]

Aaawwhhh, yeah, now I finally have an excuse to put on make u- I mean, motion capture, yay! Thank you very much! Cheers!
