I combined a face tracking application with Autodesk's Maya to create this fun intuitive new way to control Maya's camera. Once application is running, anyone can control Maya with nothing more than head movement.

I hope you guys enjoy!

  • Hey Everyone. Thanks for the great feedback! Unfortunately when i first made this is only worked with Maya 8.5. But rest assured I'm slowly but surely making a more stable version. Hopefully I'll find the time and release it sooner then later. At the moment it seems like ill be releasing this for free, but don't quote me on that:)

  • What head tracking software did you use?

  • man great tool for maya is it available for 2009 and 2010 and 2011 can you mount the camera to your head and have it move and locate, is the tool available via multi plat, will you sell it or have it available free on creative crash. you could add dynamic movement for camera shake or for animation and live shots. does the web cam have to be specific. Cheers
