Glance (Early Access)
🕑 Added 2021-03-15 18:16:31 +0000 UTCWhile developing Embody, I realized the eye tracking module could be useful for any mocap animation, where the head is controlled, so I made a dedicated plugin for this. In this plugin, the head direction determines objects that can be looked at within a frustrum (field of view), and the eyes will look at them randomly. I also added an eye saccade mechanism, which will make a huge difference in making the eyes believable.
You can select which object(s) should the person be allowed to look at, for example the camera, the player, hands, objects in the scene, etc.
Here's an example of the Glance system used with Embody's Leap Motion: https://youtu.be/SFk56NnGhmY

What gear are you using to capture the hand movement?

In this video the recording was live, but next version of Timeline will allow live recording and playback, so you can animate hands without having them in front of view. It's working in the dev version :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hERIuw4s7xo

how are the finger/hand movements done in the Glance system used with Embody's Leap Motion. That is awesome.

I post them here but I don't make a lot, I'm too busy making plugins :) https://twitter.com/acidbubblesanon

Very nice! Was just looking for something like this!

Beautiful. But do you still have a PornHub account? If not, is there somewhere we can download your NSFW vids? I miss them.

Yes, absolutely it's actually built exactly for that. I'll release a scene showing off both the Timeline head mocap and the facial micromovements when I get a chance.

Looks great. Would this work if there is a timeline animation running where the head control is being animated?
