Faceware Retargeter Plugin for MotionBuilder 5.1

Faceware Retargeter Plugin for MotionBuilder is a facial animation tool that translates captured facial performance into clean, editable animation on your MotionBuilder character rigs. It’s designed to preserve nuanced expressions while keeping animators fully in control, streamlining the path from raw performance to production-ready results for film, TV, and games.

Key capabilities:

• Pose-based solving that maps facial performance to your rig’s blendshapes, joints, or custom controls
• Auto-solving across a take with real-time preview and intuitive tuning
• Non-destructive workflow that creates standard keyframes for easy polish and layering
• Support for both single-shot and batch processing across multiple clips
• Robust retargeting tools for calibration, offsets, and per-expression refinement
• Tight integration with MotionBuilder’s timeline, layers, constraints, and Python for pipeline automation
• Compatible with Faceware tracking data and common facial mocap workflows

Who it’s for:

• Facial animators and Character TDs who want fast, controllable retargeting
• Mocap teams looking to accelerate cleanup while maintaining creative oversight

Outcome:

• High-quality facial animation that retains performance fidelity, fits existing MotionBuilder pipelines, and exports cleanly to downstream DCCs and game engines.
