Face Track

A very simple Python script that uses a not-at-all simple Python library to generate animated face meshes from video files.

Basic usage:

$ face_track.py path/to/video_file.mp4 path/to/output.mdd

This will create output.mdd, a NewTek MDD file. This file contains animated vertex data, which can be used to animate the face mesh in face_mesh.obj or face_mesh.blend. For example, by using the Mesh Cache modifier in Blender.

Requirements

face_track.py requires the following:
