NEXT-GEN FACIAL CAPTURE FOR CC5 HD CHARACTERS

AccuFACE 2 features a newly trained AI model designed for accurate facial tracking and enhanced stability, specifically optimized for CC5 HD characters. With GPU acceleration support, AccuFACE 2 enables real-time, full-frame facial capture for faithfully reproducing nuanced lip movements and dynamic facial expressions.

GPU-Accelerated

Live Capture Support

Video Clip Tracking

Pipeline Friendly

CAPTURE SUBTLE TALKING PERFORMANCES

Realistic speech animation depends on high-fidelity lip tracking and comprehensive lip morphs. Powered by an optimized mouth tracker, AccuFACE 2 captures every subtle lip movement to deliver accurate, natural-looking speech animation across languages and a wide range of performance styles.

EXPRESSION CURVES

CURVE PRESETS FOR DIFFERENT ACTING STYLES

The brand-new Curve System provides greater creative control over every performance. Starting with a collection of base presets, you can fine-tune curve intensities across different facial regions to enhance speech articulation, amplify emotional expression, and achieve more precise performances.

CUSTOM CURVES FOR SYNCING & FOLLOW THROUGH

Link driver and driven morphs to connect multiple facial animations and create more expressive results. With customizable morph curves, artists can fine-tune every movement to deliver unique performances that go beyond standard facial tracking.

RELIABLE CAPTURE IN CHALLENGING CONDITIONS

Powered by advanced facial detection technology and trained on extensive real-world, unconstrained datasets, AccuFACE 2 delivers robust, high-fidelity facial motion capture under challenging conditions. It preserves exceptional facial detail in low-light environments, across diverse skin tones, during extreme head rotations, and throughout substantial head movements.

SEAMLESS FULL-BODY CAPTURE

AccuFACE 2 integrates seamlessly into a complete AI-powered full-body motion capture workflow. By using the same mobile-recorded full-body video for both body and facial tracking, it eliminates the need for a separate facial capture pass. Its advanced tracking technology is built to handle motion blur and accurately reconstruct facial performances from head regions as small as 120 × 120 pixels, delivering reliable results even in challenging recording conditions.

MOCAP REFINEMENT

AccuFACE 2 addresses common facial capture challenges, including subtle imperfections, tracking noise, unwanted twitches, interference, and misfires. With a complete set of refinement tools, it helps artists achieve cleaner data and more natural, polished facial animation.

Grab Neutral Pose

Capture a neutral expression to establish a reliable baseline for accurate, unbiased tracking. If a neutral pose isn't available in the current footage, use Grab Neutral Pose by Parts to quickly build a neutral starting expression.

Strength Balance

Boost or modulate the movement of certain facial regions to capture a more realistic portrayal of the acting or transcend into another animation style.

Smooth Filter

Eliminate undesirable spasms from the tracking data as a result of exceeding tracking angles, excessive hair coverage, or uneven lighting and shadowing.

Denoise

Jitters can plague all levels of motion tracking. AccuFACE Denoise can effectively smooth out unstable motion without compromising the breadth of performance.

TONGUE ARTICULATION

While AccuFACE 2 captures every nuance of lip movement with precision, AccuLIPS provides integrated tongue articulation that further enhances the performance with phonetic accuracy, delivering more natural, expressive, and convincing speech animation.
