Live Smoothing for Facial Mo-cap (New for v1.1)

Due to the sensitivity of the facial mo-cap devices, the captured facial expressions can be plagued by motion judders, which can be fixed by using the Smooth feature provided by the Motion LIVE plugin.

Smoothing works by averaging the motion strength on a frame interval.

  1. Prepare a character in an iClone scene.
  2. Open Motion LIVE panel and make sure it is connected to the facial mo-cap device (LIVE FACE, for example).
  3. Start previewing the facial mo-cap result. In this case, the head judders are quite obvious.
  4. Stop previewing, go to the Face setting page; switch to the Smooth tab.
  5. Check up the Activate check box.
  6. Drag the sliders in accordance with the parts that judder most.
  7. Preview again.
  8. Compare the facial mo-cap result before and after being smoothed.
