Face Robot Plugin?

[heimanboy]

Your company has demonstrated a streaming function to Face Robot. What are the reasons behind that you are holding the streaming plugin and not releasing to customers. I personally believe and is using Face Robot with Arena/Expression and it is a perfect match because Face Robot is a well known autonomous facial animation software using mocap data with only the regretion that no streaming plugin for Face Robot.

Thanks for the suggestions RussFrancis.. problem resolved.

I heard that the plugin could not be provided because of problems with softimage and natural point. But now autodesk owns XSI facerobot! Hopefully we should see a plugin for face robot like natural point has for autodesk motionbuilder and autodesk 3dsmax (one for maya would also be nice ) !

We're glad you see the potential as well. Our streaming demo relied on some changes to Face Robot itself which aren't available to the public at this time. We're not sure what will happen with regard to those changes, particularly since Autodesk has acquired Softimage.
