Here’s an add-on IO wrote that simplifies working with Brekel Kinect Pro Face 2. The add-on creates drivers for face mesh shape-keys so that they are driven by an imported Brekel Face Pro 2 BVH file. See the comments at the top of the add-on for details on downloading, installing, and using the add-on.

Here’s the link to the add-on hosted at GitHub:

github.com

gwbond/blender/blob/master/Brekel-Kinect-Face-Pro-2-Drivers-Add-On/animation_create_brekel_drivers.py


# SUMMARY: Uses an imported BVH from Brekel Kinect Face Pro 2 to
# create drivers to link a armature bones to mesh shape keys. Each
# driver maps an armature bone rotation to a shape key value between
# 0.0 and 1.0.

# COMPATABILITY: Tested with Blender v2.72 and v2.77a

# DOWNLOAD: Go to:
# https://github.com/gwbond/blender/blob/master/Brekel-Kinect-Face-Pro-2-Drivers-Add-On/animation_create_brekel_drivers.py
# and right-click on the 'Raw' button and select 'Save link as...' to
# download the file to your PC/Mac/Linux machine. Save the file as
# "animation_create_brekel_drivers.py"

# INSTALLATION: Install this add-on the usual way via User Preferences
# Addons "Install from File". Select the file you downloaded in the
# previous step. Once installed, this add-on is listed as "Create
# Brekel Kinect Face Pro 2 Drivers" in the "Animation" category.

I now have two add-ons supporting markless facial motion capture with Blender and Brekel Kinect Face Pro 2.

In addition to the add-on I announced a few months ago supporting Brekel Kinect Face Pro 2 BVH exports in Blender, I’ve also created a new add-on supporting FBX exports in Blender. To help understand how these add-ons work I’ve created new YouTube tutorials explaining how to use each add-on. The tutorials explain how to download, install, and use each add-on.
