Calibrate Neutral
Zero your expression baseline so tracking reads your face correctly.
Hold neutral face
Baseline zeroed
Rig auto-sized
Why use it
Everyone's resting face is slightly different — without a baseline, tracking can read a relaxed face as a faint smile or frown, and rig sensitivity won't match how close you are to the camera. Calibrate Neutral captures your neutral face once, zeroes the expression baseline, and auto-sizes the rig (eye aperture, face width) to your distance from camera.
Steps in Blender
- 1Get into position in front of your camera, live or on a test frame of your video.
- 2Hold a neutral, relaxed expression — not smiling, not frowning.
- 3Click Set Neutral Pose (in the Live panel) or the equivalent calibration control for offline video.
- 4Perform normally — expressions are now measured relative to this baseline.
- 5Recalibrate any time by clicking it again, e.g. if you change position or lighting.
