ARKIT 52 • FACEIT • BLENDER 4.5–5.2 VERIFIED

FaceBeats Pro

ARKit Performance Layer

ARKit captures motion.
FaceBeats adds acting.

Add emotion, eye acting, asymmetry and cinematic timing on top of your existing ARKit / Faceit facial animation.

Move the playhead. Choose the beat. Keep animating.

You Already Captured the Face.
Now Direct the Performance.

Move to the moment that needs more emotion and click an acting beat.

Playhead → Acting Beat → Done.

FaceBeats automatically builds the ramp-in, hold, release and editable keyframes over your existing facial capture.

No rebuilding expressions. No repetitive curve editing.

Why I Built FaceBeats Pro

I'm producing a 3D animated bank-heist series, and facial capture wasn't always giving me enough performance.

I wanted a faster way to add tension, doubt, anger and subtle acting beats without fighting facial curves for hours.

So I built FaceBeats for my own production pipeline.
