iFacialMocap/FaceMotion3D

ARKit-based face tracking. Requires a Face ID-compatible iOS device and the $5.99 iFacialMocap app. Tracks 52 ARKit blendshapes, head rotation and head translation.

An alternative to iFacialMocap is FaceMotion3D, which is $14.99 for a permanent license. It has more features than iFacialMocap, but in regard to face tracking for Warudo, the two apps are functionally equivalent.

tip

For best tracking quality, we recommend using an iPhone 12 or newer (iPhone mini also works). Older iPhones may have lower tracking quality.

info

If your iPhone is not compatible with Face ID, you may still be able to use iFacialMocap / FaceMotion3D if it has an A12 or higher chip and has been updated to iOS 14. However, the tracking quality may be subpar.

Setup​

tip

If you do not know your computer's IP, you can check on the configuration page of the iFacialMocap Receiver asset.

If multiple IPs are listed, you would need to try each one. Usually, the IP address assigned to your computer by your WiFi router starts with 192.168. For example, in the above picture, you can first try 192.168.1.151.

iFacialMocap​

Open the iFacialMocap app, tap on the gear icon in the upper right corner to enter the settings interface. Tap on Destination IP address and enter your computer's IP address.

It's recommended to enable Optimize for long-time streaming, which can help reduce device overheating from prolonged use.

Go back to the main interface, tap on the Live button in the upper left corner, select Other as the software, and enter your computer's IP address. Then, tap Connect to start streaming.
