🔥 Key Features
- Zero-CPU Offline Baking: Real-time audio analysis kills frame rates on Mobile and VR. Our built-in Baker simulates the audio at 60 FPS in the Editor, baking visemes, procedural head noise, and blinks into a highly optimized FaceSyncAnimationAsset. Play it back at runtime with absolute zero CPU cost!
- Native Timeline Integration: Drag and drop your baked data into our custom FaceSync Track. Smoothly blend animations, scrub through time, and dynamically override eye and head behaviors directly from the Timeline Inspector.
- Procedural Eyes & Head Motion: Bring dead stares to life. FaceSync automatically calculates realistic blinking, saccadic eye darts, and micro-jitters. The head and neck procedurally react to the character's voice intensity using Perlin noise.
- 1-Click ARKit & CC3/CC4 Setup: Stop manually assigning dozens of blendshapes. Our VisemeMappingProfile features 1-click auto-generation for standard ARKit (52 blendshapes) and Character Creator rigs, creating highly accurate mouth shapes instantly.
- Live Microphone (VTuber Ready): Switch to Live Mode and use the included Frostember_MicrophoneInput component to drive your character's face in real-time using any connected microphone. Perfect for multiplayer voice chat and VTubers.
- Setup Wizard: Get your character fully rigged and talking in under 30 seconds using the automated Setup Wizard.
- Emotions profiles: A dedicated, robust module inside FaceSyncController that allows developers to seamlessly blend custom facial expressions (e.g., Happy, Sad, Angry) with active lip-sync data.
- IK Look Tracking: Automatically make your character track any object or player in the scene! The robust inverse kinematics system seamlessly blends with procedural speaking noise and animations, giving your character a dynamic focus without unnatural rotation snapping.
💻 API & Scripting
Triggering dialogue dynamically via code is incredibly easy using the FaceSyncPlayer component. Just assign the baked asset and call .Play(). Perfect for custom RPG dialogue and quest systems.
