    Complete Project
    This product contains a full Unreal Engine project folder, complete with Config files, Content files and .uproject file, which can be used as a template to create a new project.

Face 2D Live allows you to control 2D faces which can be easily customized. Need a talking tree? Simply attach a face blueprint to a tree, connect your phone to Live Link and simulate! Want to add a funny face to your Third Person character? That's easy! Attach the blueprint to the head of your character, connect your phone and play! You can grow it, shrink it, flip it and move it and as long as your phone is connected and tracking your face, it'll keep on working like it should. It's a lot of fun, especially with friends. What make this 2D face controller different from the other tutorials you'll find online? This one allows you to record your animations using Take Recorder. Give it a try!

UPDATE June 15th, 2023:

New update coming soon! I added a new face blueprint which now gives you eyebrows, extra mouth movements and a more humanoid face. I also rebuilt the project in UE 5.0 to allow you to migrate this project into any version of UE5 that suits your needs. If you have any questions or if there's anything you'd like to see in the next version, please don't hesitate to ask! Enjoy!
