Would I be able to capture data from mobile devices and export them to Blender for animations?
odb592 Yes this is possible. There are motion capture apps but as I was going down the road of doing it myself I learned it is a little labor intensive. I believe it involves a lot of shape keys that need to be linked to the motion capture. It's still possible though.
However there as some recent updates now that I am looking again there is one that looks really promising that is also completely free!
It's called Blender iphoneCapture addon and companion app for iphone
Here's the link to the dev's webpage where you can access everything you will need.
Blender Facial Motion Capture with iPhone
He has updated videos on his youtube channel that show the main process. You still gotta apply custom shape key behavior on you rown model but he has a sample file in his master zip that really helps you hit the ground running. I created this tonight within an hour of researching it on The Google.
My own facial capture using my iphone XSMax free with blender (I thought this day was a couple years off!)
Many thanks, will have a look into it :)
Nice work on the animation :)
Also sorry,don't know how to reply here or someone properly still learning this CG platform :D .
