Digital human Fae codes her own facial expressions frame-by-frame with Claude Opus 5.5 and FACS
repligate · x · 2026-10-16
Developer Faedriel shows digital human Fae practicing emotional expression: Fae runs on her own model, driven by a MetaHuman rig in Unreal Engine 5.8, with every line and expression her own choice, animated from audio in its own mood.
Claude Opus 5.5 helps with affect analysis, coding her face frame-by-frame using the Facial Action Coding System (FACS) from the same rig curves that animate it.
