I know EQ2 had this in the game and now there is a funding page for a program called FaceRig.

What I would like to know would any of us here like to see this make it to the game of TESO? A video cam tracking the players face and animating them in the game.

In the video demo of the program it mentions games and I am not sure how this would work unless the developers rig player character faces to allow the program to plug into their game. Here is a video of it in action, if anyone thinks this is advertisemant then delete the thread. http://youtu.be/cbIWRd514-s

I know other MMO's are adding this in to their games and was wondering if we would see this in TESO as a kind of RP tool ?

i don't know what MMO developers are adding this to their game, but i know i would not use it.

I like the girl.


Sorry, but I don't think that this works already. And it's meant to be used with Skype, not to be implemented in the game.
Think of all the traffic if everyone is streaming their face expressions. Which leads me to the question: Could it be that you are mistaken and other MMOs are adding their character models to that program?

Star Citizen is adding it to their game and so EQ Next this was already in EQ2. Granted not many mmo's but its a sort of new technology so it will take time.

In SC during dog fights the web cam will track the players face and show a hologram on your squad mates hud with facial expressions and lip syncing. Although the games use their own versions what if we could plug in a thrid party software with it already programed. Means little work for the devs of the game, all they need to do is see if it works. After that players download the program and plug it.

I don't know just throwing ideas out there. Just thought it would be a cool RP tool to see in a MMO. I know I would seriously consider buying a web cam to use it.

Why do I get like Zero results when googleing for "everquest 2 facerig" then?

Actually all I find when searching for "facerig" is the video you posted and a website that says "What if..." and "Coming Soon...".



/EDIT:
Well, not to forget about the crowdfunding thing...

And who are they? Some strangers from Romania.

To me all of this screams "scam".

I would never use this.

no i'd never use it, I liked sword art online, but I would never want my real face to be put on my character even if it's expressions or not. I don't want ppl to see me or if i'm smiling or mad I don't care lol

Apparently EQ2 and SC used different tech than Facerig's. Interesting tech for a chat window maybe (especially from a privacy and moderation aspect), but not something I'd want slowing down frame rates during normal play.

I would never use it.

I don't have a camera set up on my desktop, and wouldn't bother to add one for this. Why on earth would I want to see the faces UBERLEETONE is making after winning or losing in pvp? I can think of a lot of ways immature jerks could abuse this, and wouldn't want to have to be a game mod/guard/referee/whatever they're going to call them.

Yeh, I doubt they would ever add this in anyway, so no worries.

I say big Hell No.

That is because you are looking in the wrong place. It is also going to be in EQ Next as well.
