User reviews

Needs more controls

The software is great for what it is. But for the price of the unlimited recording time I wish they had controls for quantizing frames to a specific frame rate when recording. Would also be nice to export to fbx binary to eliminate a step from the conversion process to Blender.

Excuse me

Don’t piss me off where’s all the settings and why do I have to keep paying for the damn app if I already paid for it you need to restore my purchase

The software is very good.

This facial action tracking software is an innovation in the field of facial interaction! Its real-time tracking frame rate of 30 FPS accurately captures micro-expressions, and the AI recognition ability is comparable to an artist's brush, making the virtual avatar's emotions and feelings evident. Whether it is the vivid performance of VR social interaction or the emotional decoding of psychological research, it transforms abstract emotions into visual data like a magician. What's more surprising is the open source ecosystem, which allows developers to freely mix and match interaction schemes like a bartender. The perfect balance of technology and humanities, this is the true mirror of the future ~

Random stops in connection

Seems I been running into issues with this application randomly stopping with the connection. I normally have to close out then reopen it to make it reconnect to the software on the computer.

Subscription.

I’ve had problems. I have a trial for the Maya subscription, but it doesn’t work 80% of the time. The app automatically goes live and only for ten seconds, despite having the aubscription. The app also crashes when I try switching to maya.
