[@Lekser]

Thank you so much for this video!!

[@Sgirlie755]

Thank you so much for the tutorial! Can you teach us how to bake the animation after recording and importing the Live Link Face mocap? Then can you teach us how to save it and how to open the baked animation to append it onto another new Blend file character?

Interesting workflow. I'll see what I can do. Thank you for your request.

15:51 I can't make it out but why is there a white triangle in his mouth?

[@activemotionpictures]

in the fast forward (timelapse), the texture is corrected. It's just a texture thing.

[@blenderblender792]

@@activemotionpictures Other than that good tutorial. 👍

[@activemotionpictures]

Thank you. I appreciate it. Going through the sculpting, mirror and troubleshooting was extra, but I feel many artists will find it useful. I can't make really short videos for those kind of things...

[@Sakurazoku]

It's working on Blender 4.0 ?

[@activemotionpictures]

The most recent update works in 3.6, all though there should be no problem on 4.0.
I have not tested it (yet).

[@gedrgesfsdfwe4046]

Never worked for me for anime faces

[@activemotionpictures]

Now, you can :)
