Everything you need to puppet a face

One-click setup, live or offline, with landmark and identity tools underneath.

Offline video

Analyse a video file, auto-map to your rig, and bake straight to F-curves for editing.

Live puppeting

A phone IP-camera app or webcam drives the face in real time — ~40ms latency on a local camera, under ~60ms reads as instant.

Bootstrap Character

Instantly adds a pre-rigged, pre-weighted, pre-mapped default head so you can start puppeting with zero setup.

Auto-Detect Mapping

Automatic correspondence between tracked facial landmarks and your rig's shape keys or bones, with manual override and a Diagnose Mapping tool.

Calibrate Neutral

Capture a neutral face once to zero the expression baseline and auto-size the rig to your distance from camera.

Procedural hair

Generate, randomize, and remove hair with one click, with Match Hair to Photos and Hair to Mesh conversion.

Requirements

Blender 4.0+

The add-on manifest sets the floor at 4.0. 4.2 LTS or newer is what we recommend.

No GPU needed

The solve runs on the Expression Server, never your graphics card. No CUDA, no VRAM floor.

A camera, for Live

A webcam, or a phone running any IP-camera app. Not needed for the video workflow.

Any OS

Windows, macOS, or Linux — wherever Blender runs, the add-on runs.

Free during launch

No pricing table. Sign up, copy your licence key, and go.

  • No price, no paywall right now — free during launch.
  • Still gated by a licence key, issued free on request, entered once in add-on preferences.
  • To get one: create a free account, open your licence page, and copy the key it shows you. It is issued instantly — there is no waiting list and no approval step.
  • One key, valid on up to two machines at once — enter it once and it keeps working.
  • No feature-gated tiers in the add-on itself — the licence key is just an access gate, not a payment gate.
  • Any licensed action (hair generation, auto-mapping, video analysis, live capture) checks the key individually.

Start puppeting in Blender

Download the add-on, install it via Edit → Preferences → Add-ons, and request your free licence key.

Add-on itself is 100% GPL and inert without a licence key.
