Installation
This page covers the installation process for avatars within NeosVR. This section assumes you have basic knowledge of NeosVR tools (such as the NeosVR Developer's ToolTip).
To get WCFaceTrack working, download the latest release and locate the file run.bat under the Binary folder. This is what you'll run later!
To get a copy of the WCFaceTrack Installer, copy and paste this URL into the NeosVR Window: neosrec:///U-Ruz/R-14757885-7241-4011-abc9-f6724f806c72
It will spawn the public folder "WCFaceTrack ", which contains the WCFaceTrack Installer.
Take a second to admire the marvelous UIX canvas that has just spawned out in front of you. Next, use a Developer's ToolTip to inspect your avatar and locate your Visemes/Blendshapes (typically found under your Avatar's Body).
From here, drag your desired Visemes onto the UIX canvas. You'll see the canvas buttons turn green when they've been inserted, you can always undo a placement if you make a mistake.
You don't need to fill out all of the slots! Here is a list of all supported WCFaceTrack Visemes:
| Expressions | Expression Description |
|---|---|
Mouth Open |
Opening the jaw |
Raise Lips |
Raising the lips while they're closed. |
Mouth Wide/Smile |
Stretching the lips horizontally, ear to ear. Usually triggers on a smile! |
Mouth Small/Pout |
Making a pouty face/puckering the lips |
Eyebrows Up |
Raising the eyebrows |
Eyebrows Down |
Lowering the eyebrows |
Eyebrows Sad |
Softening the brows, an saddened expression. Finnicky and experimental, be careful with this one. |
Eyebrows Angry |
Furrowing the brows, an angered expression. Finnicky and experimental, be careful with this one. |
LeftEyeCloseOverride |
Closing the left eyelid |
RightEyeCloseOverride |
Closing the right eyelid |
| Other fields | Descriptions |
|---|---|
Gaze |
What your eyes are looking at. This will always be the Eye Manager Slot Rotation |
Gaze Sensitivity |
A measure of how sensitive the gaze detection is on an XY place. (from 1 to 0) Unless you absolutely have to, don't modify this. |
BlinkInterval |
Both the Min and Max should be set up to their respective field in the Eye Manager. |
Head Proxy Target Rotation |
The forward direction of your head. This will always be the Head Proxy Target Slot Rotation. |
IK Solver Head Target |
The Head Target Slot under the Avatar's VRIK spine component. |
(These links will show you where you should grab those specific fields from)
Once you have dropped all of your desired Visemes onto the Canvas, you're ready to setup! There is only one thing to do:
- While in the avatar, click on the "Setup!" button at the bottom.
Finally, run run.bat under the Binary folder and follow the prompts. This will open a terminal window displaying the status of the program.
Alternatively, run facetrackerNeos.exe and it will run with all the default values.
Ideally, it should print "Got Tracking". If this is the case, it's working! Afterwards, you should recenter the head by looking straight ahead and pressing the Backslash (\) key, and you should be set! Now go make a funny face :D
