    Imagine creating 52 shapekeys by hand for every character u use .... stop imagining and get this addon instead! It's a huge timesaver!
    - The out of the box expressions we get with this are pretty nice, sometimes it needs a finer touch but the addon allows u to use sculpting mode for that which is perfect. Also mirroring these sculpted adjustments is godsend.
    - I've noticed that sometimes the eyelashes dont follow the eyelids but are parented to the eyebones itself (with default settings). There's a quick fix by parenting the eyelashes to the faceit rig by automatic weights.
    - The addon has support for Face Cap txt files, which wont work for the iphone face cap app in my case, which is far from a problem becuz the addon comes with a shapekey retargeter function which works fucking perfect!
    - The documentation is also very helpful to get started!
    - I wonder how it works with Rokoko facial mocap, but my guess is that the shapekey retargeter will just handle it fine.

      Hi there! Thanks for the rating and feedback! :) I just tested your suggestion about automatic weights and you are right, this does improve results for many models. I will add this as an option to the bind operator. Regarding Rokoko, they have their own Blender add-on which is great, so I saw no need to add a receiver in Faceit but it might convenient.

    Love this addon. Just one question, I found that faceit doesn't support the new hair system in blender 3.5. Specifically, I cannot add curves object to facial hairs in the setup. Is there going to be an update to support hair curves? or Should I change curve objects into particle system?

    Thank you

      Hi there, thanks for the rating! It shouldn't be a problem to support curves, but I haven't tested this yet. Please reach out through one of these channels for questions, feature requests etc. https://faceit-doc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/support/

    This add on is amazing. After installing and not knowing a thing about the add on I pressed some buttons by gut feeling at first and got mocap working together with Hallway Tile. Which works great on Windows. Now I did a deep dive into the add on documentation and that's very helpful and well constructed too. Really wanting to help.

    But not only is it working like charm, the real quality is in all the little details which are worked out so well in this add on. You can really tell that the creator thought of creating a nice workflow. From having a non destructive set of stages to showing the right buttons at the right time. He obviously put a lot of energy into making us having a great user experience and let us focus on the creative part, while still giving all options. Also I love creators like this who are truy enthousiastic about what they make and keep wanting to innovate and improve things. Which you can sense when looking on the FaceIt discord channel too.

    Very glad I've bought this one! Thanks for all the hard work!

    Bought this saturday, i asked two questions , Fynn has already replied, very clearly.
    And in two hours time i have a character (bought on artstation with a rig already ) exported in unreal 5 with my shape keys. I did not explored everything yet but this is truly a very good experience! The documentation is clear and simple. thanks!

    Can you please support for Galaxy smartphones using ar core?

      Hey, currently there are no android apps that match the level of quality in the ARKit, but you can use the meow face app together with a user made tool, called morec. Please reach out over one of the channels here: https://faceit-doc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/support/

    It's nice to have access to all the ARKit expressions automatically and be able to bake them to shape keys quickly. I'd love if there were built in viseme expressions as well, but I can use the ARKit ones to build my own so it's not a big deal.

    Drawbacks so far:
    * The FAQ mentions compatibility with Autor-Rig Pro but I can't find where the option is to use my existing ARP face rig.
    * None of the landmarks have names so it's unclear which one is supposed to go where once you've begun moving them around.
    * Top and bottom lips weighted together (ex: jaw open emote pulls down the top lip as well and no amount of adjusting the landmarks stops this)
    * The blink expressions don't close the eyes well for my model (ex: eyeball sticking through eyelid, not closing fully, eyelashes flying away from the eyelid) no matter how much tweaking of the landmarks I do. This is not a problem with my ARP face rig after fine tuning weight painting.

      Hi there, thanks for the rating. I'd like to address the issues you were having and offer my help in fixing them.
      1. 'Compatibility' with Auto Rig Pro basically means that both Armatures (Faceit and ARP) and Add-ons for that matter, can be used side-by-side. It does not mean that the ARP face rig can be used to generate expressions.
      2. Yes, placing the landmarks is a delicate step. I'd highly recommend to look at the reference in the documentation, first.
      3. If your lips stick together, then this is most probably an issue in your geometry and not in Faceit. If you'd reach out, I'm sure we will solve this.
      4. Again, please reach out over discord or here at blendermarket. If rigging and weight painting fails, you can still use the non-destructive sculpting feature to achieve some perfect blinks.
