iFacialMocap allows you to capture facial expressions in an iOS app and communicate in real time with 3DCG software on your PC. You can also do an FBX export by email.PC-side software allows you to import VRM models. To export FBX, turn on the REC mode and record. And when you press the mail button, the version selection screen of FBX appears, and when you press the OK button, the FBX file is saved in the File folder and the mailer starts. Detailed usage is available at the following URL: https://ifacialmocap.com/ This app can create face animations by communicating with Maya, Unity, 3dsMax and Blender in real time. In addition, animations created in real time can be baked. This app can load VRM avatars within the iOS app. In addition, this app is linked with VMagicMirror on the PC and VRM related apps such as Luppet and HANA_APP. To use, first start this app, then start "iFacialMocap to SoftWare app" on your PC and enter your iPhone's IP address. (Donwload from PC use :https://ifacialmocap.com/download/ ) Next, create up to 52 morph targets (BlendShape or ShapeKey) according to the naming convention. Finally, use 3DCG software to load the script / add-on and press the connection button. Very accurate facial motion capture can be performed very easily. This app is only available for models equipped with FaceID. The camera image and resulting depth data are only used to send motion capture data to the user's PC. That data is not stored in the iPhone. To get depth data from Apple's API, access to the camera is required. This application is only used for communication with PCs within the same network and does not send information to third parties. This app can only be used on iOS devices equipped with FaceID. Supported devices are as follows：・iPhone iPhone13 mini Phone13 Pro Max iPhone13 Pro iPhone13 iPhone12 Pro Max iPhone12 Pro iPhone12 iPhone 11 Pro Max iPhone 11 Pro iPhone 11 iPhone XS Max iPhone XS iPhone XR iPhone X ・iPad iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th generation) iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation) iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation) iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation) iPad Pro 11-inch * Face ID is not installed in the new iPhone SE 2nd generation released in 2020, but you can use iFacial Mocap by updating to iOS 14 or later. Not limited to iPhone SE 2nd generation, iFacial Mocap can be used if it has an A12 or higher chip and has been updated to iOS14.

Application consistency

Great application for animator!! This application helps a lot in terms of animation, however it really depends on the user’s luck. Out of 10 times, I have been able to make the connection works once. It has useful features and easy to use though. I wish the connection improves as I have done everything troubleshooting says. The price is fair for this smart software. I wish I can get the best of it.

As much as I want to like this software, I cannot get beyond using the ‘face’ that comes with the included Blend file. The instructions included in the description are very basic and really do not help someone new to this. The videos in this are in Japanese, so if you are a non-native speaker they aren’t much help (translation in the closed captioning is very poor.) After writing the developer a few times, he stated that he is ‘busy’ and would not be answering anymore of my emails (not much help for noobs such as myself.) There doesn’t seem to be a community out there that utilizes this software where one can go for answers. Other software in this genre may be more expensive, but if you are new to these types of software and looking for something that has a reasonable amount of support and documentation, this is probably not the one you want.

Motion Capture for VTubing

EDIT: reinstalling it fixed the issue for me so I’m glad about that! Thanks to the dev for getting back to me so quickly about it. If you are also having issues with the app loading on the latest IOS try deleting it and reinstalling, worked for me👍OG post: This app is pretty cool and it used to work very well for me, but it isn’t working anymore with the latest IOS update 16.1 :(( Everytime I try to open it, the app closes immediately. Hopefully an update for the new IOS will be released in the near future since I can’t use the app at all at the moment 💔

I have tried the latest version of the app in my environment, using the update to iOS 16.1, and it works fine.Does reinstalling the app after deleting it once not solve the problem? If that does not help, please try the iFacialMocapTr app or the Facemotion3d app until the problem is fixed.

Extremely inconsistent

It’s quite frustrating to use because of how inconsistent the behavior is. Some times it works perfect with no lag, other times it slows down considerably and not even a full iPad restart can fix it. I haven’t figured out what causes the slowdowns or how to fix them when they happen. I use this to stream and I’m trying to find another app to replace this one so I don’t have to mess with it during the stream all the time. When it does work, it does work well, however.
