Global Hotkey - Quick Auto-Calibrate Head Pose + Expression - both at same time - 1click

Hello guys,

would you mind implement a global hotkey feature (working if in-game for example) to quickly re-calibrate head pose + expression? Sometimes my avatar goes haywire and I must ALT-TAB, select FaceRig, recalibrate, ALT-TAB back .. game crash....( for example when changing siting pose in chair, sitting different, changing state etc)

OR

i must start doing weird stuff with my head wich leads to fix or even makes the situation worse. If It is already there, where can I find it, I can't see it.

Thank you for that! Keep up amazing work, I'm addicted.

Khim.

FaceRig v1.339 - “nextversion” Change log:
.
.
- Added a quick tracker calibration hot key (ctrl+home)
.
.

Hallelujah!!

Guys, can the hotkey be made a global hotkey? Means working even when the FaceRig window is not active one? So far I still need to "leave" actual active window, click into FaceRig window to make it active and press hotkey (same like clicking the small icon with mouse and clicking again "calibrate").

This is of course a great upgrade, but would it be possible to add a switch to make the hotkey a global one? If yes that would mean a 107% success!!

Anyway with this option I can still write Auto Hot Key script to send the ctrl+home for me, it will be a lot easier and more functional than telling the app where to click with mouse (which sometimes does not work as there are two clicks needed and some games are causing issues.

Thanks! :3

Guys,

do you plan to make the calibration hotkey a "global" hotkey, means it works even when FaceRig window has no focus? So far I still need to ALT+TAB out off my game, loose focus of that game, go to FaceRig to make it gain focus, hit calibration hotkey and go back to game. Not much difference between last state without calibration hotkey...

This has been added to our suggestion list and since we are still indies we try to improve our software one step at a time while we cater the needs of our community.

Any key can be used outside FaceRig if you enable the Hooked Keys feature from Advanced UI > General Options dialog > Preferences tab > General subtab. Note, that this may add a small input lag.

I tried that, I know it causes lag, in Fallout 4 one even dropps off cliffs before the lag goes off, can take up 6-7 seconds. Sadly it does not work, if it did, I wouldn't post my question, tried that already. For as long as FaceRig has no focus, autocalibration hotkey is out of play. Maybe I do something wrong. Let me try to run the FaceRig as administrator...
