Very accurate facial motion capture is very easy to do.

## Review summary

Users praise FaceMotion3D for solid real-time tracking and strong Blender/Unity workflow support, with good accuracy and a responsive dev team. However, recurring issues center on unreliable streaming/connection, licensing and payment friction, and stability bugs (crashes, jitter, audio problems). Overall it’s a capable mocap tool with strong workflow potential, but it needs improvements in streaming reliability, licensing clarity, and bug fixes to achieve broader stability.

### Pros

- Blender/Unity compatibility for high-quality facial animation with adjustable weights for eyes, lips, etc.
- Responsive development and ongoing improvements based on user feedback
- Real-time facial tracking with strong frame rate and AI recognition (useful for avatars and VR work)
- Open-source ecosystem enabling flexible interaction schemes and customization
- Positive performance in trial scenarios and favorable comparisons to some competing mocap tools

### Cons

- Frequent connection and streaming reliability issues (random disconnects, auto-live behavior, port/time-wait problems)
- Licensing and purchase friction (restoration of purchases, license prompts, confusion over licenses and paid features)
- Stability bugs impacting streaming and avatar output (crashes when switching modes, avatar jitter/shake, audio issues in recordings)
- Some integrations or features not working as advertised (Blender streaming issues, Maya workflow problems)
