*Apologies for lack of post-process data. I removed images and video of the actual actors to avoid any issues with use of their likeness, NDA's, etc. Instead this breakdown is a quick overview of the batcher used to address bulk amounts of same-actor facial capture data.
The Batch Analyzer tool is a quick way to apply an actor's tracking models to process bulk loads of facial capture data. The video below outlines use of the tool:
To work with this tool, simply select a folder or folders of facial capture data for an actor. Worth noting: all data must be of 1 given actor only. The tool was specifically designed to handle one actor's tracking models at a time.
You can go through and add and remove facial captures as needed until you have a list of all files you want to process.
Once your list has been established, identify both the desired actor's tracking models as well as their neutral frame file.
In addition to processed FWT analyzer files (in which your actor's eyes, eyebrows, and mouth will be tracked), you will have the option to export out FWR files for use in Faceware Retargeter. If you elect this option, you will also need to select a delivery folder for all FWR files produced.
Tool output includes:
- processed FWT files
- optional cleaned FWR files as well as their image sequences
- a list of any files that had already been processed and were therefore bypassed
