   Fills the FaceAR gap!!!

   I’ve been using FaceAR in Unreal and Unity for the past few years. It always took so much time to export then test in the engine. Now with MocapX I can test directly in Maya and not waste time exporting and always reconnecting the phone.

   I know it’s kinda a bummer you cant test what your phone in real time with the app but it works just like it does in Unreal. I say Unreal and not Unity because I find Unity’s playback a little slow.

   Also, I’ve been in constant feedback with the devs. Their support is awesome. I really can’t ask for more from this product.

   Amazing app for animators

   It works great both for local recording and real-time streaming. The plugin with live mocap data is a huge time saver and works great over wifi. It takes some time to set up the poses, but after that, it's great. If you're a character animator and you use Maya, this is the tool for you.

   👍 Pros:    Real-time mocap in maya|Free maya tool for setting up the facial expressions|Saves a ton of time|No monthly fees, only a one time payment

   👎 Cons:    Limited trial version

• Not being good enough

  Take it easy. You’ve got plenty of time. I’d ditch adobe animate, although it has its benefits, and check out something like https://animationpaper.com/ and pick up Richard Williams animation survival kit and you’ll be set for a while. Try doing a few of the exercises and then try doing a 10 second short so you can start seeing all the parts of animation. There’s a ton of careers in animation that may grab your...

• Ask HN: What tech stack would you use to write Animation software?

  Hello fellow animation enthusiast. I'm curious about why you are writing a new program rather than working with the existing open source codebases of OpenToonz/Morevna/Pencil2D? (They are C++/Qt for whatever that's worth). Not to mention what Blender has accomplished with the development of the Grease Pencil module. You might also look at what Niels Krogh Mortensen is doing with his Animation Paper software... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
