FaceRig

This application has such a useful feature as the ability to capture the movement of facial muscles that the user makes. With the help of this technique, you can start animating 3D characters. Earlier we have already talked about such an application as MSQRD, and now it's time to talk about an even more popular and functional client - FaceRig, designed specifically for the Android platform.

Features

This application differs from MSQRD in that a special animation mask is applied to the face, which is later used to animate the characters. They will repeat any mimic movements, and thus will get the most real emotions on their faces. To work with the FaceRig application, you need to use the front camera, which means it must work at all. It works only with the front camera, so if it is of poor quality, or simply broken, then you can look for other similar applications that use the main camera. By the way, this camera recognizes the user's face automatically. In the built-in library of FaceRig application there are more than 4 dozen masks, there are animals, cartoon characters, and even stars. However, only 5 of them will be available for free, but the rest will have to be paid for. In order for the video to become finally emotional, it is enough to activate such a function as 3D Live, and then scan your face, waiting until the facial expressions will be synchronized with the proposed character, which will be shown on the screen of the device. This will be the chosen avatar. By the way, it is better to take care of the background in advance, there are 15 pictures that you can use to create a video, and all this is available absolutely free of charge.

Limitations

The main difference between this program and its desktop version is that, unfortunately, it cannot be synchronized with other programs. Thus, you can't call your friends on a video call, broadcasting a selected mask instead of your face. First you will have to record a video and only then it can be sent anywhere, but in general, the program works as well as possible, perfectly animating the selected masks.
