First test with facial mocap. I should have deleted stray keyframes on the left eye, but I didn't want to spend another hour rerendering.

The workflow essentially follows Sebastian Königs vimeo tutorial "How to use face tracking data in Blender" (http://vimeo.com/24016505), although most of it has been scripted. The scripts can be found in the sandbox in MakeHuman svn (utils/tools/sandbox).

The mocap data is sample file 6 from Facemotion (http://www.easycapstudio.com/?q=support/sample-files). A drawback of the method is that there is a one to one correspondance between markers and bones in the face rig. If we want to use data recorded with a different marker setup, we need a different face rig.

Very interesting.

Do you plan to develop this into another tool?

There should be some kind of face rig in alpha 9, but we don't know how it will look like. This is just an experiment.

In any case the result of this test looks promising.
I hope we can make it work with different types of faces and good visual quality.
