KeenTools 2021.2: we added one button!

We made the first step in raising our products to the new level of smartness with AI. Precisely, we added face auto-alignment to FaceBuilder and FaceTracker. When you press the ‘Align Face’ button, a couple of neural networks will find a face on the photo and set up all required pins to match the position, shape and expression. The results are not always 100% accurate at the moment, so it might require some manual adjustments, but it radically reduces the time of shaping the models. It’s available in Blender and Nuke. In FaceTracker it works only for setting up keyframes, not in tracking — but we’re going to improve that in future releases! All this goodness comes with support of the latest Nuke 13. Don’t forget that recently our nodes came to Nuke Indie and we added 51 ARKit-compatible FACS blendshapes to FaceBuilder for Blender!
