There's a lot of misunderstanding about FaceRig in here, allow me to bring you the truth :ġ. *a now somewhat older demo of Blender doing this I am not sure how far the kinect hacking set ever got with this sort of thing but give it the right conditions and its tracking options are far better than a basic webcam. There are quite a few other unity options as well. If you want to go crazy and have something like unity installed then might be an option, get it sorted though and the workflow will probably be quite good and probably no more aggro than general editing. Looking around it appears many of the bigger webcam companies will give you a similar option.įor most of my animation purposes I tend to go manual or only need something that cheese or similar such software provides - never really had to do motion capture for this sort of thing so I am mainly here to say it can be done.

On the very low end of the spectrum the microsoft lifecams have a piece of software that will do some basic tracking and manipulation, if you have ever used the Linux program Cheese then maybe a step up from that on the tracking effects front but less on the usability. Equally how far are you willing to go, that software looks like it is pretty self contained at the cost of not being very customisable but if you know your way around either a game dev engine like unity or a basic 3d modelling/animation setup (there are options for free programs like Blender*) then you can get an awful lot more done. Doing this sort of thing live is a pain, unless you have a prerecorded video file in which case it is doable. I assume this is for post production rather than live streaming.
