Live Link Face vs Goblin Node

Live Link Face for effortless facial animation in Unreal Engine—capture performances for use in Unreal Engine from your iPhone or iPad. Capture facial performances for MetaHuman Animator: - Live Link Face supports both real-time and processed animation. - MetaHuman Animator uses Live Link Face to capture performances, then applies its own processing to create high-fidelity facial animation for MetaHumans. - The Live Link Face app captures raw video and depth data, which can be transmitted directly from your device into Unreal Engine for use with the MetaHuman plugin. - Facial animation created with MetaHuman Animator can be applied to any MetaHuman character in just a few clicks. - This workflow requires an iPhone (12 or above) and a desktop PC running Windows 10/11. Real-time animation for MetaHumans: - The Live Link Face app generates animation to drive a MetaHuman Character in real time. - Animation data is streamed to Unreal Engine over a network using the MetaHuman Live Link Plugin. - This workflow requires an iPhone (12 or above) and a desktop PC running Windows 10/11. Real-time animation for non-MetaHuman characters: - Stream out ARKit animation data live to an Unreal Engine instance via Live Link over a network. - Visualize facial expressions in real time with live rendering in Unreal Engine. - Drive a 3D preview mesh, optionally overlaid over the video reference on the phone. - Record the raw ARKit animation data and front-facing video reference footage. - Tune the capture data to the individual performer and improve facial animation quality with rest pose calibration. Timecode support for multi-device synchronization: - Select from the system clock, an NTP server, or use a Tentacle Sync device to connect with a master clock on stage. - Video reference is frame accurate with embedded timecode for editorial. Control Live Link Face remotely with OSC or via the MetaHuman Plugin for Unreal Engine: - Trigger recording remotely so actors can focus on their performances. - Capture slate names and take numbers consistently. - Extract data for processing and storage. Browse and manage the library of captured takes: - Delete takes within Live Link Face, share via AirDrop. - Transfer directly over network when using MetaHuman Animator. - Review captured footage on-device.

Stop chaining yourself to a desktop rig just to experiment with textures. Goblin Node brings professional, non-destructive and touch-first procedural texturing directly to your iPad. This isn't just another shader editor. Goblin Node has been designed specifically for generating modular and reusable patterns, tileable surfaces and complete PBR material suites wherever inspiration strikes. No subscriptions. No AI bloat. Just pure, portable procedural power. ——————————————————————————— SAY GOODBYE TO DESKTOP TEXTURING FRICTION ——————————————————————————— ⁃ Desktop-Grade Power, Zero Desk Required: Craft materials on the couch, on set, or in transit without compromising node complexity. ⁃ Touch-Native Precision: Effortlessly zoom, pan and edit node graphs with intuitive gestures designed specifically for iPad. ⁃ Focused Texture Workflow: Unlike complex shader editors, Goblin Node lets you skip the math so you can focus on pattern logic, surface wear, and map creation. ⁃ Non-Destructive Freedom: Swap out base patterns or tweak parameters downstream without breaking your material logic or re-doing past work. ⁃ No Subscriptions, Ever: Buy once, keep your tools forever and own your creative pipeline. ——————————————————— WHAT YOU CAN BUILD ——————————————————— ⁃ Complete PBR Material Suites: Generate production-ready maps; Albedo, Normal, Height, Roughness, Metallic, AO, Curvature and more ⁃ Complex Surface Mechanics: Build everything from weathered bricks and organic patinas to intricate weave patterns, tiles, and sci-fi paneling. ⁃ Deep Procedural Engine: Combine 100+ nodes, including generators like Voronoi, Perlin noise, mathematical shapes, text, imported imagery, and custom paint passes. ⁃ Advanced Spatial Transformations: Offset, rotate, distort, warp, mirror, blur and blend with precision controls. ⁃ Atlas & Multi-Asset Packing: Pack, split, and organize multi-texture maps into unified texture atlases for game engine optimization. ⁃ Touch 3D Preview Engine: See light and shadow react to your materials in real time on 3D meshes. ⁃ Modular Material Generators: Expose key parameters to turn your node graphs into reusable, customizable templates for instant variations. ——————————————————— PRO FEATURES (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) ——————————————————— ⁃ 45+ Advanced Nodes: Including Flood Fill, Multi-directional Warp, Slope Blur, Bevel and more! ⁃ One-Tap PBR Batch Export: Export all output channels (PNG, JPG, TIFF, TGA) simultaneously up to 4K—ready to drop straight into Unreal, Unity, or Blender. ⁃ Reusable Templates: Expose node parameters to turn complex graphs into customizable material generators. ⁃ Unlimited Graphs: Build, organize, and export without arbitrary project caps.
