Camera Types and Settings
Faceware Realtime for iClone can be used with a static web camera or
a head mounted camera.
The settings for these two types of camera are as follows:
- Press the S key to open the Settings panel (Edit > Settings).
- Select the desired input device from the Camera drop-down list.
- Set the Face Tracking Model.
- For regular web cam: Set the model to StaticCam_(S30040).imbin. This is the capturing model of Faceware Realtime for iClone
that is most suitable for a static web cam with a set distance.
- For head cam: Set the model to HeadCam_(S30099).imbin. This is the capturing model of Faceware Realtime for iClone
that is most suitable for a head cam that is mounted closely to
the actor's face. It can compensate for camera lens distortion and
strong fisheye visual distortion.
- For regular web cam: Set the model to StaticCam_(S30040).imbin. This is the capturing model of Faceware Realtime for iClone
that is most suitable for a static web cam with a set distance.
- Click on the Gear button next to the Camera drop-down list to show the Camera Options panel. Adjust the Video Resolution and Video FPS for the streaming data captured from the camera.
Note- The Camera Options panel is able to access all available camera supported frame rate and resolution.
- Recommended High Quality PC Camera:
- Logitech Brio Ultra HD, 60 fps
- Logitech HD Pro C920, 30 fps
- Face Tracking Model:
- StaticCam for desktop capture
- HeadCam for head mount capture
- You can, of course, increase the Video Resolution to the highest one in the list, at the expense of FPS. The FPS will automatically drop down due to the high resolution.
- In order to have the best quality, set the resolution to the one that supports at least 30 FPS.
- Failure to acheive 60 FPS may be due to sub-optimal lighting conditions. Fix this by disabling the Low Light Compensation setting on your webcam software (for models like Logitech C922).
