This add on is amazing. After installing and not knowing a thing about the add on I pressed some buttons by gut feeling at first and got mocap working together with Hallway Tile. Which works great on Windows. Now I did a deep dive into the add on documentation and that's very helpful and well constructed too. Really wanting to help.

But not only is it working like charm, the real quality is in all the little details which are worked out so well in this add on. You can really tell that the creator thought of creating a nice workflow. From having a non destructive set of stages to showing the right buttons at the right time. He obviously put a lot of energy into making us having a great user experience and let us focus on the creative part, while still giving all options. Also I love creators like this who are truy enthousiastic about what they make and keep wanting to innovate and improve things. Which you can sense when looking on the FaceIt discord channel too.

Very glad I've bought this one! Thanks for all the hard work!

Bought this saturday, i asked two questions , Fynn has already replied, very clearly.
And in two hours time i have a character (bought on artstation with a rig already ) exported in unreal 5 with my shape keys. I did not explored everything yet but this is truly a very good experience! The documentation is clear and simple. thanks!

Hey, currently there are no android apps that match the level of quality in the ARKit, but you can use the meow face app together with a user made tool, called morec. Please reach out over one of the channels here: https://faceit-doc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/support/

It's nice to have access to all the ARKit expressions automatically and be able to bake them to shape keys quickly. I'd love if there were built in viseme expressions as well, but I can use the ARKit ones to build my own so it's not a big deal.

Drawbacks so far:
* The FAQ mentions compatibility with Autor-Rig Pro but I can't find where the option is to use my existing ARP face rig.
* None of the landmarks have names so it's unclear which one is supposed to go where once you've begun moving them around.
* Top and bottom lips weighted together (ex: jaw open emote pulls down the top lip as well and no amount of adjusting the landmarks stops this)
* The blink expressions don't close the eyes well for my model (ex: eyeball sticking through eyelid, not closing fully, eyelashes flying away from the eyelid) no matter how much tweaking of the landmarks I do. This is not a problem with my ARP face rig after fine tuning weight painting.

Hi there, thanks for the rating. I'd like to address the issues you were having and offer my help in fixing them.
1. 'Compatibility' with Auto Rig Pro basically means that both Armatures (Faceit and ARP) and Add-ons for that matter, can be used side-by-side. It does not mean that the ARP face rig can be used to generate expressions.
2. Yes, placing the landmarks is a delicate step. I'd highly recommend to look at the reference in the documentation, first.
3. If your lips stick together, then this is most probably an issue in your geometry and not in Faceit. If you'd reach out, I'm sure we will solve this.
4. Again, please reach out over discord or here at blendermarket. If rigging and weight painting fails, you can still use the non-destructive sculpting feature to achieve some perfect blinks.

I've been a regular Faceit user for six months and I can safely say this is easily in the top 5 most stable, feature rich, best supported extensions to Blender's functionality anywhere on the internet. Thank you, Fynn for this brilliant tool!

This is an absolutely AMAZING plug in. There's a huge learning curve BUT the developer is SUPER responsive and once you get the hang of it, you're golden! This is an enormous time saver. I wish I could give it a million stars!!

A mind-blowing add-on which opens up many exciting possibilities for character animation! A top quality product along with fabulous support from Fynn!

Also received great support from Artell. He's really helpful and prompt.
