Morning everybody,
i'm in france and i would know how integrate facefx professional 2013 in unity3d. i know many persons talk about this but i didn't find the way to do this from begin to the end and one video tutorial which seem solve my probleme is not available(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3enibZvOfd0 from http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/63573-FaceFX-amp-Unity-Facial-animatio…). i use Maya 2012 and as i said, i bought the licence of FaceFx. Firstly i used the FaceFx Maya plugin but the generate animation button
is not available too. It's the reason why i bought the licence of faceFX. Someone can put one tutorial to do this please?
Thank you and excuse my french english(my english is poor i know).
The video was taken down because it is no longer accurate. There is no longer a generate animation button on the Max/Maya plugin. You generate animations from FaceFX Studio, then export to FBX, or go to File->Export Collapsed XML and use the integration files to import the XML file.
I replied to the (old) Unity thread where you posted as well. The thread you want to look at for reference is this one:

If you have any questions after reviewing that info, let us know!
Thank for your reply. But, i have some questions for make it work. I Watch this tutoral(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4J36lnsI24&feature=youtu.be) from your link http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/78076-New-FaceFX-Integration-With-Unit….
1: Where can i have the integration files?
I download the unity-demo-facefx file are they the integrations files?
2: I see that in Unity, you have began the tutorial with many files such as Exo-body-Anim, Exo-EyesSpec,... which are in Asset->FaceFx->Example Files; where do you got these files and how have you imported that in Unity? (i suppose maybe they are contained in integration files.
3: In the " Controller Tab" into Unity how have you create the content such as Gesture Layer, Gesture Layer2... and make the different associations whith question, question_iror ... ?
4: I see also you have in your Unity software, the import FaceFx XML option. i havn't it. I suppose it due the fact i havn't integration files?
5: This question is for later, after i make the integration work. If i want to create my owns words with my owns audio files? i just need to modify the text into the text files associates to audio and give them the same name?
And finally, how can i generate animations dynamically in my own application, and make it work by, for example, change the text file associate to the audio animation? I mean speak and see in same real time character animation change.
Sorry for all these questions. Thank for your reply
Abel.
Hi,
sorry for the disturbing, just ignore the questions 1, 2 and 3 above from my last old post. I have some problemes for make the integration work I follow the mechanim video(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4J36...ature=youtu.be). My probleme is below:
*In FaceFx Studio Professional:
1- I load the exo.fbx and batch-export-exo files from C:\Program Files (x86)\FaceFX\FaceFX Studio Professional 2013\Samples\Src and the mechanim_facefx audio file from my FaceFx_Mechanim folder ( E:\Unity-FaceFX\FaceFX_Mecanim_Demo\Assets\FaceFX\Example Files) but when i play the animation, only the facial animation is executated while the rest of the body remains inactive.
2- I tried otherwise by taking the mechanic_facefx and exo-animations.fbx files from E:\Unity-FaceFX\FaceFX_Mecanim_Demo\Assets\FaceFX\Example Files with batch-export-exo from (C:\Program Files (x86)\FaceFX\FaceFX Studio Professional 2013\Samples\Src) but the character is load with different appearance and when i play the animation, only the audio and the gesture body is executed; the head stay inactive.
* I use Unity4 version 4.1 and i don't see the asset->import FaceFx XML and others buttons like that, is it normal or must i do some seettings?
Can someone can give me somes solutions?
