Description

Live Link Face for effortless facial animation in Unreal Engine — Capture performances for MetaHuman Animator to achieve the highest fidelity results or stream facial animation in real time from your iPhone or iPad for live performances.
Capture facial performances for MetaHuman Animator:
- MetaHuman Animator uses Live Link Face to capture performances on iPhone then applies its own processing to create high-fidelity facial animation for MetaHumans.
- The Live Link Face iOS app captures raw video and depth data, which is ingested directly from your device into Unreal Engine for use with the MetaHuman plugin.
- Facial animation created with MetaHuman Animator can be applied to any MetaHuman character, in just a few clicks.
- This workflow requires an iPhone (12 or above) and a desktop PC running Windows 10/11, as well as the MetaHuman Plugin for Unreal Engine.
Real time animation for live performances:
- Stream out ARKit animation data live to an Unreal Engine instance via Live Link over a network.
- Visualize facial expressions in real time with live rendering in Unreal Engine.
- Drive a 3D preview mesh, optionally overlaid over the video reference on the phone.
- Record the raw ARKit animation data and front-facing video reference footage.
- Tune the capture data to the individual performer and improve facial animation quality with rest pose calibration.
Timecode support for multi-device synchronization:
- Select from the iPhone system clock, an NTP server, or use a Tentacle Sync to connect with a master clock on stage.
- Video reference is frame accurate with embedded timecode for editorial.
Control Live Link Face remotely with OSC or via the MetaHuman Plugin for Unreal Engine:
- Trigger recording externally so actors can focus on their performances.
- Capture slate names and take numbers consistently.
- Extract data for processing and storage.
Browse and manage the captured library of takes:
- Delete takes within Live Link Face, share via AirDrop.
- Transfer directly over network when using MetaHuman Animator.
- Play back the captured video on the phone.

Live Link Face Reviews

Crash?

Review of Dragon City on

Canada

The game crashes every time I try to record

Head rotation not working

hfhffhdhdbd on

Canada

The three head moves now always get 0 values even the stream head rotation is on. It is a bug appeared after iOS 15. Please fix.

Not connecting

Canada

All plug ins are enabled, same IP address yet nothing showing up in live link subject field on UE5

Very cool

Thank you for making this possible. Personally I'd recommend that you use a personal Hotspot instead of a home Wi-Fi connection. Was much smoother in my tests. Hopeful that there is a way to record offline on the phone only and then import the animation data. Don't want the network causing animation errors when it's unnecessary for the performer.

be aware before downloading

Me & Vegas on

Canada

You need an iPhone pro x, ipad pro last generation or this not gonna work. Ipad mini or any other models don’t have the truedepth front camera required for that

Broken version

hairspraysuppository on

United States

Does not work on iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 17

Latest version broken

Noefresh on

United States

Unfortunately this app needs to be updated to request camera permission. The current update becomes completely unusable in iOS 17.

Camera permissions?

mattesota on

United States

I can’t get my camera permissions to activate. The app is useless without it. I go to my settings and live link just isn’t an option to select.

Overall great app

Highlander driver on

United States

One minor issue: if you record at 30 fps the resulting CSV file will have gaps on the data. By this I mean there are 16 frames with key frame data, followed by 16 more frames with no key frames at all, followed by another 16 with data. This pattern repeats for the entire recording. If you record at 60 fps, this bug does not occur. Just an FYI!

Not Working

DommDynamite on

United States

Every time I record a take and try to transfer it to unreal, unreal encounters an error trying to open the depth data.bin file. Looking in the folder for the takes there is no such file. Seems pretty broken to me. Would be cool if it worked.
