Character Creator

Got it! Let me break it down step-by-step with exact locations in Character Creator so it’s super clear:

---

Step 1: Open Character Creator

• Launch the software.

---

Step 2: Toolbar Overview

• The Toolbar is at the top of the screen. It has items like:

  • File: Save, open, or import projects.

  • Edit: Undo, redo, or adjust settings.

  • Create: Add objects, lights, or cameras.

  • Modify: Adjust character morphs, skin, hair, etc.

  • Motion: Animate the character (this is where real-time face tracking is).

Step 3: Load a Base Character

1. On the right side of the screen, find the Content Manager panel.

2. In the Content Manager, click Base Characters.

3. Double-click a realistic human character to load it into the scene.

Step 4: Load a Custom Face (Optional)

1. Go to File > Import > Import Object (in the Toolbar at the top).

2. Import a 3D face model (e.g., .fbx, .obj, or .daz format).

3. Use the Modify tab (in the Toolbar) to adjust the face.

---

Step 5: Animate the Face in Real-Time

1. Go to the Motion tab (in the Toolbar at the top).

2. In the Motion tab, find Face Mocap or Face Puppet.

3. Connect your webcam and enable real-time tracking.

4. Move your head, open your mouth, or tilt your head—the character’s face will mimic your movements.

Step 6: See Two Video Boxes

1. Split the viewport:

   • Right-click the viewport and select Split Area.

   • Drag to create two sections.

2. On the left, display your webcam feed:

   • Go to View > Camera > Webcam.

3. On the right, display the realistic face:

   • Keep the default character view.

Step 7: Save or Stream

• Go to File > Save As (in the Toolbar) to save your project.

• To stream, use OBS or other streaming software to capture the Character Creator window.
