  It's nice to have access to all the ARKit expressions automatically and be able to bake them to shape keys quickly. I'd love if there were built in viseme expressions as well, but I can use the ARKit ones to build my own so it's not a big deal.

  Drawbacks so far:
  * The FAQ mentions compatibility with Autor-Rig Pro but I can't find where the option is to use my existing ARP face rig.
  * None of the landmarks have names so it's unclear which one is supposed to go where once you've begun moving them around.
  * Top and bottom lips weighted together (ex: jaw open emote pulls down the top lip as well and no amount of adjusting the landmarks stops this)
  * The blink expressions don't close the eyes well for my model (ex: eyeball sticking through eyelid, not closing fully, eyelashes flying away from the eyelid) no matter how much tweaking of the landmarks I do. This is not a problem with my ARP face rig after fine tuning weight painting.

  Hi there, thanks for the rating. I'd like to address the issues you were having and offer my help in fixing them.
  1. 'Compatibility' with Auto Rig Pro basically means that both Armatures (Faceit and ARP) and Add-ons for that matter, can be used side-by-side. It does not mean that the ARP face rig can be used to generate expressions.
  2. Yes, placing the landmarks is a delicate step. I'd highly recommend to look at the reference in the documentation, first.
  3. If your lips stick together, then this is most probably an issue in your geometry and not in Faceit. If you'd reach out, I'm sure we will solve this.
  4. Again, please reach out over discord or here at blendermarket. If rigging and weight painting fails, you can still use the non-destructive sculpting feature to achieve some perfect blinks.

  I've been a regular Faceit user for six months and I can safely say this is easily in the top 5 most stable, feature rich, best supported extensions to Blender's functionality anywhere on the internet. Thank you, Fynn for this brilliant tool!

  This is an absolutely AMAZING plug in. There's a huge learning curve BUT the developer is SUPER responsive and once you get the hang of it, you're golden! This is an enormous time saver. I wish I could give it a million stars!!

  Very cool addon. Super helpful for bridging the gap between face cap / mo cap and a rigged character. Fynn is super helpful as well! Keep up the good work!!!

  Love this addon. It saves so much time and allows us to add blend shapes to all our characters that are already rigged via Mixamo, without us knowing anything about blend shapes. We can spend our time animating our instructional videos instead of spending time on blend shapes.The fact that the creator is also fast and friendly in support matters makes it perfect!

  This plug-in is worth every penny! I initially bought it just to use the face rig but eventually got an iphone to use the ARKit too. Everything works flawlessly and I can setup a character from scratch in around 10 mins.

  You can now easily merge the Faceit rig with others like Auto rig pro to give you a complete and robust rig quickly, on top of the ARKit function too.

  I also gotta give props to Fynn, the creator, I had an issue with the new feature of merging different rigs (there was a bug in the eye's movement). I asked for help in the discord and within 20 mins he responded. and after 1 hour he solved the issue and told me how to fix it. Later in the same day he also released an update that fixed the bug altogether.

  I think I never had such an amazing costumer service before. 5 stars are not enough Imho.

  I absolutely love it, if you gonna use the arkit blendshapes or not, you can have control rigs for with or without and how it's structured is great and how it works just saves you hours. The only thing I don't like and is working in a weird way is that the workspace choices should always stay on the very top. Then also when I click on a workspace the n-panel rearranges and sometimes the mouse-up event doesn't get "triggered" over the workspace button you clicked and when you hover over another workspace with your mouse it switches immediately (without me clicking!). But after finding that out it's no problem anymore, but it rearranges the n-panel in very strange ways if you're not aware :) But ye definitely another one of the high quality addons on the marketplace!!
