The AR FaceTracking Configuration of the iPhone X uses the TrueDepth camera to provide real-time information about the user's face movement, accurately driving a set of 52 blend shapes. This feature is used to animate iPhone X animojis, but it can also be used to animate any virtual characters in a real-time or pre-calc environnement, transforming the iPhone X into a powerful and accessible MoCap device.
Our set of 52 blendshapes closely follows the ARKit 2 documentation, including the new shape for tongue movement. The set is delivered with the ARKit 2 nomenclature unless the user requests otherwise, and comes ready to be animated thanks the the iPhone X Face Tracking.
Animation for iPhone X works for any type of character, whether it’s a scanned head, a photorealistic 3D head model or a cartoonish character, no matter the morphology.
Delivered expressions are perfectly adapted to the specific topology and UV of your 3D model. Animation for iPhone X can be included directly into your character pipeline and won't require any further adjustment on your end.
All you have to do is purchase this service and upload your 3D model. You will automatically get it back within 24 hours with the complete set of 52 ARKit blendshapes, directly transferred onto your mesh and perfectly adapted to the morphology of your character. We also provide plug and play options for those working in Maya - contact us if that's the case.
