Face Robot Plugin?

Post by petergajewi »

Hi dear animation fellows,

I wanted o ask if there is a Face Robot plugin for Arena Expression?
Is there any kind of a plugin or tutorial video to get Arena Expression data into Face Robot?

Greetings Pete

We currently support marker set compatible with face robot, so you should be able to export c3d from expression and import it directly to face robot.

Hi,

just for information, FaceRobot will be part of the new release of Softimage 2010!

A dedicated streaming plugin similar to the DAZ Studio solution would be awesome!

Hi all,

Everytime I export c3d info to facerobot it only opens 37 frames of the animation even though I export 2000 frames. I set the frames to export from 1 to 2000 in the export options everytime. Any idea why this is happening?

Does the Face Robot plug in work with XSI 2010, which now includes Facerobot? Or is there an update coming?

I'm not sure why it is happening SunGS but just as a note I exported 1000 frames and it's pulling into Face Robot 2010 no problem. Are you using 9 or 2010? As I'm working with more data I will let you know if I experience similar issues.

SunGS. Are you exporting your mocap to C3D using 100 FPS? If so then when you by default import that data into FaceRobot, FaceRobot is setup by default at NTSC (for USA anyway) which is 29.97 FPS, So you may either need to change your FaceRobot frame rate or try exporting at 29.97 FPS instead. Don't know if that helps but it just came to mind as I was working this morning.
