Linux - Wine
Hai, just posting that, it works in wine you cannot use it as camera source. Screen sharing is the way to go. To note is that there were some install errors but it worked regardless for me.
So Anyone using linux, its possible with screen sharing on skype. for now. :profgenki:

So you actually got the face tracking to work under Linux, and you can see yourself in the "small PnP mode? Any hints on how to get there?

It's interesting that I can get the webcam to work in another application, but not in FaceRig. I wonder what they are doing differently.

The "Busy" light on the camera comes on when FaceRig starts, and the camera tself shows up in the "Webcam" selector as "UVC Camera (046d:0825)", same as in "MyCam", the other software I tried.

Yes. Initial release worked for me.
Using Kinect as camera tough. Therefore i build gspca as module in my kernel.

Everytime i wish to start, i get the DirectX installer tough. Works anyways.

Installed stuff alongside is DX9 stuff, vcrun2003 to 2013, dot.net 3.5 SP1.
To Setup Steam i used winetricks and linked ~/.wine to the winetricks steam prefix.

Wine useflags, if that matters were: X alsa cups fontconfig gecko gstreamer jpeg mono mp3 ncurses nls openal opengl perl pipelight png pulseaudio realtime run-exes ssl threads truetype udisks v4l xinerama xml

Yeah, I get the DX installer also every time, but that happens with other games as well, so I wasn't too surprised.

I use a Logitech C270, driver is uvcvideo, also built into the kernel.

Thanks for your information! I'll fiddle around with it a bit more.

So now I installed a newer version of WINE, and I can see my webcam stream within facerig, woohoo! However, no tracking is happening. I went through the steps, fiddled with the sliders, but the avatar doesn't do anything.

Using the alternative frame grabber tells me "No webcam found" in the logfile.

One fact that might help, the "Flip Stream" option doesn't do anything, either, I always see a horizontally flipped webcam feed. Any ideas what else I could try? Thanks :)

Flip stream is only for the output, aka the image that goes to other programs with the broadcast option.

Could you try downloading manycam and leading the webcam feed through there?
so webcam>manycam>facerig(>output)

Also just to confirm: you can see yourself in the lower right corner, and that image is clear (not blurry) and your face can be seen well?
Try looking at the tutorial at the start of FaceRig and see if you have all the suggestions there (like good lighting, middle of the screen, your head not to small or partly cut off for being to close, etc.)

Thank you for your suggestions and the clarification about flipping!

I haven't been able to get Manycam to work yet (one version doesn't react when I try to click "Accept" on install, the other just crashes during installation).

Yes, I can see myself clearly in the lower left corner, and also the fullscreen feed preview works just fine. I went through the tutorial steps and made sure my camera feed is good enough. I don't even see the avatar twitching or reacting in any way. It just keeps on doing its "idle" movement. Also, there is no error message of any sort (like "Tracing lost"). It just seems to ignore the camera feed.

Is there any indication I should look out for that could tell me if the tracker even tries to make sense of the camera picture? Are the calibration "instruments" supposed to be completely calm, or shouldn't the be moving in some way, even when the tracker doesn't get a clear picture yet?

Many thanks for your reply!

The calibrations should be at least a bit "jittery" even while keeping completely still.

Could you try making a small demo-video from your entire Linux + Wine + FaceRig screen for us too see what is happening?
For example with this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/12/simple-screen-recorder-linux (just did a search for Linux Screen Recorder, not tested by us so if you have another tool that is fine too)
You can then upload it (unlisted) on youtube or any other video site and link it here.

If you don't want everyone to see it / your face, you can also friend-invite me and send it to me in chat. I'll try to give you some advice then, and maybe send it to the devs (not one of them), but officially we can't yet support Linux, even if it's running Wine to get a Windows-clone.

Toy Wylie 14 Oct, 2014 @ 6:54pm 
I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks for the replies and suggestions so far! I appreciate your assistance especially because I know you don't support Linux/WINE setups :)

You'll probably have to install vcrun2010 using winetricks to get tracking to work, it looks like Wine's built-in version isn't good enough right now - I was having the same problem as you and that appears to have fixed it. Also, I can't get my webcam working in the latest versions with either grabber, the initial release is the only currently-available version that works for me. (The latest version doesn't even get past the loading screen, v0.78b does but can't access the webcam.)

Might see if I can figure out a way to use it as a camera source in Linux too.

The Alternate Framegrabber does not work in my case. ( Kinect 360)
#10
makomk 31 Oct, 2014 @ 7:44am 
The alternate framegrabber's unlikely to work on Wine right now because it seems to rely on a Windows API call that Wine doesn't support yet. If you're able to compile Wine from source you can try this patch which was enough to make it work for me in v0.78b: http://pastebin.com/annRUv1d

Latest Nextversion with the new fany luncher works as much.. uhm i cannot start it further than the launcher.
The Previous, aka "Stable Version" does work for me tough, but i have to figure out again why my XBOX NUI Camera is not having any feed/resolutions.

Also its running on wine version 1.7.29

Oh, recent versions of Facerig also seem to require this Wine patch in order for the new framgegrabber to work: http://pastebin.com/yKXRXRc5 The first patch should hopefully be in the next Wine release but the second one isn't really clean or finished enough right now.

Techwolf Lupindo 25 Dec, 2014 @ 4:24pm 
While I would rather have a native one, this wine trick may work for me as my wine install seems to be working quiet well the few times I had to use it. Gentoo user here. :-)

Toy Wylie 11 Jan, 2015 @ 5:03pm 
Ok, I finally got a patched wine version to run. Now it recognizes my camera again, and I can see myself in the video stream window. But the tracker still doesn't pick up.
