Hi all,
I’ve built a tool for Maya to help with facial animation using Metahumans.
You can find the tool in the video description.
The tool includes visemes and expressions from the Unreal Engine pose library, a range of motion setup and the 44 English phonemes sounds for lipsync.
The solving and retargeting done in the video was generated using Avatary Facegood, but the tool can be used with other facial solvers as well.
The idea behind the tool is for newcomers and experienced animators to use it as a time saver for shapes creation and for accurate lipsync animations.
If you want to change/improve this tool, feel free to do so and share it with the community!
Looking forward for your feedback!
