Hi all,

Were you able to use FaceARSample with a new character?

I’m trying to create mine but I’m having difficulties. Many mistakes.

I still can not run the demo in 4.22.

Any tutorial?

Thanks.

Fred

I’m already using FaceARSample with different characters, by either AnimBP retargeting and a custom setup I created, where I also control the curve values in realtime, in order to tweak the blend shape amount directly in engine, but I haven’t switched to 4.22 yet.

This is an example of FaceAR used on a realtime character, where I record both animations and import them into Maya

How old is this? Jeremy Ernst left Epic in 2017 and there haven’t been any updates on ARTv1 or ARTv2 since then. The Documentation link on that page doesn’t even go anywhere. Seems to be dead in the water.

His tweet of the official release is from April the 9th, and even though he’s not with Epic anymore, he’s still developing the plugin, I guess in his spare time.

Check his website, is the best way to be updated about it.
