Faceware uses AI and neural networks and a webcam to capture the facial expressions. Reallusion and Facewareįaceware is the one I am most interested in, but sadly it’s also the most expensive option to facial motion capture on the consumer level. So you’ll have to get that on your own and will set you back an estimated total cost of $1395 USD including the iphone camera you’ll need to buy. The whole setup is very impressive, but comes with a price tag of $695 USD and that doesn’t include the iphone. Rokoko is also relying on the Apple’s iphone TrueDepth cameras as its main source of input to capture your facial expressions and offers its own proprietary software to translate that onto 3D characters for an easy user experience. And now Rokoko is adding facial motion capture to its whole suite of body motion capture suits. Rokoko is famous for making full body motion capture suits that is professional quality for a home-studio price. This is probably the most affordable option to get a very decent motion capture experience. And if you already own an iphone device with the TrueDepth camera then that’s really just $138 USD, but that’s just positive thinking. But if you think about how far motion capture has gone, this would have cost a lot more in the past.

This totals an estimated $838 USD (before tax), which I admit is still quite a bit of money. The Face Cap app which is required if you want to do realtime facial motion capture with this addon will cost you around $60 USD in addon prices inside the app. The iphone device will put you back around $700 USD. The iphone device, which many already have, but I’ll list it as a cost because a lot of people own one. The addon costs $78 USD (indie license), but you own it for life. What would take a few minutes of recording time using this addon would save you hours in rigging! The best thing is that this is extremely budget friendly. There’s a simple Blender addon called FaceIt on the that relies on an iphone app titled, Face Cap App and the iphone’s TrueDepth Camera to capture the expressions on your face.
