I show you how to do Facial Mocap in blender 2.6 latest trunk version. You can download blender at www.graphicall.org The version of blender I am using contains Cycles, Dynamic Paint, Ocean Simulator, and Motion Tracking.

You can download the mocap.blend file here: http://dragonfire360.com/Free-Tutorials.php

Currently the official release of 2.6 found at www.blender.org does not have these features. That is why you must download it at graphicall.org It will be in the next release of blender 2.61.

This is part 1 of 3. This part focuses on modeling a generic face to work with the mocap. The second part deals with Rigging and skinning that face. The third part deals with the actual placing of markers to track mocap.

  • Thankyou so much for sharing this tutorial, I'd been looking for a tutorial for doing this in Syntheyes for forever and I was so glad that this feature not only got ported to Blender but that someone has done a tutorial on it! Though this tutorial is more advanced and geared toward more advanced blender users. It was a pain to sit through this while you explained every single click and button you pressed. Beginners can find this information pretty easy, so no need to explain it.

  • @LightwaterVideo Thank you for your response and critique! I appreciate the constructive criticism. I will take that advice on my next tutorial. Although I have already made another one I am editing it together right now but in the future I may include less detail.

  • @DragonFire360Media I for instance enjoyed the pace and learned to use the latest wonderful new technological advance - progress bar. So if You want to cater all use cases, just provide a summary of timecodes to jump to in a description or at the start. Great tutorial.

  • @tonieprawda Thank you for your comment and kindness. I may consider doing that.
