There are also options to mask out parts of the face – for example, only to generate facial expressions, but no overall head movements – and to generate lip-synch animation from an audio recording of the actor. The mapping between the two can be previewed in real-time, and the results adjusted via individual strength sliders for the brows, eyelids, eyeballs, mouth, jaw, cheek, and head rotation. The new iClone Facial Mocap plugin then translates the footage into the facial animation of a 3D character, using the motion of 42 points on the actor’s face to drive 60 readymade morphs within iClone.
