Quick update: I made a full in depth version of this video that covers all the steps in more detail if you're interested (link in bio). Also if you don't want to spend hours making your own character models, you can visit my website to purchase my pack of 3D character models (link in bio). Thank you for all your support - Sal

Can't believe you're pushing a software like faceGen to your subscribers. It's $139. That's crazy!

@salfolio 6 месяцев назад

I’m just showing my workflow. I’m sure there are other ways to do it

@elijahsmall5873 3 месяца назад

I’m sorry, why can’t he? He’s free to do whatever he wants. It’s his channel after all. Like is it a heinous crime to mention a paid software? There are people who use this software or might even want to buy it and give it a try so this demonstration could be very useful to those kinds of people.

I LOVEEE YOUR VIDEOS THANKS FOR EXISTING . I ALWAYS WANT TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS BUT DONT KNOW WHICH PATH TO GO. FACEGEN IS EXPENSIVE MOST OF THEM ARE EXPENSIVE FOR ME BUT WHEN I WANT TO USE FREE SOFTWARES IM CONFUSED DONT REALLY KNOW WHICH STEP TO TAKE FIRST AND EVERYTHING BECOMES COMPLICATED I GIVE UP EACH TIME BUT I FIND MYSELF WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS AGAIN

@salfolio Год назад

Thank you! and I feel your pain! The software is pretty pricey. I wish there were better free alternatives but at the moment I haven't been able to find any :/

@michaelarchangel3202 Год назад

@@salfolio Thank you so much for answering . I have an Etsy Shop right now and i make money there and i have saved 1/4 of it . I will work until i have enough money to buy this softwares. But i have another question here. Will doing this save me money? can i get a job offer? I am very hopeful for some reason, I feel very positive, but I am also afraid that I will not get a job offer at all. I don't dream of big money. I have no plans to become rich. I'm just wondering if doing this would serve my needs as well as a regular job.

Hey question bro, around 2:25, I'm having trouble exporting the fbx file and then uploading it to Mixamo. I made sure to enable "Embed Textures" but it still doesn't come up in Mixamo the right way. What was your step by step process in transitioning from the export into Mixamo?

delete the original bones (they appear as black lines within the mesh) before exporting as fbx

@RiiahTV 7 месяцев назад

you dont need face gen to do this you could have just used the plug in for da to import face and it does the same thisng without the other site, then you can import it into blender with face shapes included, you would be able to use them as sliders or keyframe them to a facial mocap, the rest of the tutorial is good. but cutting that other site would save time and energy in your workflow, and having face shapes in the character already aswell

yo I appreciate this comment big time - but you would still need the rig gns plugin when doing this correct? I am looking to create a character in blender then animate both his face and body but Im unsure what the easiest steps would be to take. -Should I 1. export from Daz 3d and rig the body and face using rig-GNS 2. Fully edit the character 3. Add animations using Rokoko/mixamo 4. add clothing and shoes 5. create background 6. Export full animation Thanks
