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 uses ARKit on devices that support ARKit facial tracking, and MediaPipe with the front camera on other supported devices. 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. TrueDepth is not required on supported devices. Tracking accuracy depends on the device and capture conditions. Camera access permission is required. Examples of devices that support ARKit facial tracking: ・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 * On devices without ARKit facial tracking support, MediaPipe can be used with a supported front camera.
