At $699 (as of this writing) you get the plug-in for iClone and Faceware Realtime for iClone. for the consumer, but not so much for the professional user. To be fair Faceware and the iClone Plug-in are pricey. That would improve as I improved the lighting and other aspects.
Even at 30 fps I was getting good results.
You have sliders to control amount of expression and other features. It moved as I moved and that was just cool. I deliberately did not get one of the recommended cameras as I wanted to see how it worked on an average webcam.įrom here I dove straight into animating the iClone avatar facial expressions in real time. Particularly when you consider I am using an $85 (US) streaming webcam for this test. a direct light and a key light to fight the shadows from the former light would solve the problem. Of course, that light was so bright shining right into my face that I couldn't see you-know-what, but it was enough to know that proper placement with a couple of lights. Glanced over and the framerate had doubled to the 30s!!! With just one light. I stuffed the one working battery into a 4 X 3 desktop LCD video light and unceremoniously stuck it in front of me but not behind the camera as it probably should be. I grabbed one of video lights and of course 3 out of 4 batteries were dead but all I needed was one to see how much brighter lighting would increase the frame rate. That little feeling of despair lightened up a bit. I just plopped the C922 on top of monitor and pointed it at me, so when you consider how ill prepared I was, the software was coping quite well. another no-no if you are looking for fps. To be fair I was sitting in a rather dark studio with minimal lighting as I did not have my video lights on. Upon first use I noticed was it being anything but smooth and a glance over at the capture window on Faceware showed a dismal frame rate of 14 to 15.
