Over lockdown I've been working on a workflow to take the iPhone ARkit facial capture capabilities into blend shape data that I can animate with in Maya. This is the result / a promotion for my discord channel.
The goal is to set up a workflow to make some short animated films. I'm not a rigger or an animator, so by just getting someone to say the lines in front of an iPhone I get most of hard work done for me. There was some clean up required, but overall I'm really happy with how it all worked.
Rendered in Redshift, textured in Mari and using Substance for mask. Sculpted in Zbrush
