Enabling Facial Expressions on Networked Avatars
Hi all! I'm looking to enable face tracking for a multiplayer game I'm currently developing where each avatar is network instantiated. The current documentation explains how to set it up for local avatars. Is there any documentation available for networked instantiated avatars?
Additional Tongue Tracking BlendShapes
There are currently seven BlendShapes for tongue tracking which primarily only allow for inwards/outwards positioning. https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unity/move-face-tracking/#face-blendshapes Some further implementation allowing for simple lateral left and right positioning would greatly improve the potential feature applications. Additional development could include both vertical and lateral manipulation, as well as morphing. This would be in similarity with competing HMD face tracking implementations.
Network face tracking Meta avatars
I have working Unity app using Meta avatars. Lipsync works well - other network players see my face moving. So data is receiving correctly. But! When I introduced face tracking, it only works locally. Nobody see my facetracking except me. I'm using the pair of Sample avatar entities (local and remote) on my network player prefab. Everything works except sending facetracking. Can you help me?
Face Tracking - FaceExpressions Data
I use Unity 2021.3.20F1 and Oculus Integration V54. I can perform facial tracking and AURA with my face expression. Based on research purposes, I need to store information about facial expression weights. But when I store the information about OVRFACEEXPRESSIONS.TOARAY (), the game will be stuck. Is there any way to allow me to store the information and not stuck?Network face tracking Meta avatars

Quest pro has the functions of eye expression capture and facial expression capture. But I didn't find out how to get this data in the unreal engine in the document How can I get this data and the corresponding expression for development in the unreal engine？ I may need some help
Passthrough Shadows Discussion
I'm currently looking into the best way to implement shadows for virtual characters. I've seen a few ways that look promising with just drop shadow cards. But what if I want true dynamic shadows? How do I get them to cast with no floor mesh since I want Passthrough? Or even dynamic soft shadows? I came across this for dynamic soft shadows based off the collision which looks pretty good. But how would I implement that with Passthrough? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oed7fqqzaY Here is a sneak peak at the current project. The characters still don't feel grounded yet without shadows. Just trying to find the best and most realistic way. https://twitter.com/colin_a_brady/status/1627061040939941888?s=20 Please share your thoughts an how you think the best way to implement a shadow for so many characters should work in Passthrough!UE5.1 with new MetaXR Plugin not getting Face Tracking to work with Quest Pro
So I'm using the official MetaXR Plugin that just released and I'm using it with UE 5.1. I've enabled all the the Facial and Eye tracking in the Project/Plugin settings. When putting the face component in my Blueprint I'm not getting any Expression Values at all. Are there specific steps I need to take to get the engine to recognize the Headset? Playing in Editor works in VR, just not getting any Facial data coming through. And yes, I have Eye and Facial Tracking enabled on the headset as well. Please Help!
