Virtual Production — Week5

This week’s assignment is using face tracking in UE4. It’s pretty fun to see your model can track your expression in real time. I tried the Face AR sample in UE4 first and it worked very well!

Then I followed the tutorial to build the face tracking model in Makehuman and Blender.

When I uploaded my avatar in Mixamo, the avatar turned into white which makes me hard to rig the model accurately.

I encountered a problem that I can’t detect my iPhone on Live Link in UE4, and it took me a lot of time to fix it. I’m still not sure it’s the network cause the problem, since I went to my friend’s house and connect their network and it just works!

The avatar looks weird with the animation
