Face Motion is a Bit Limited with MPFB

[fvlasie]

Hello,

First thank you for an incredible plugin!

Second, I am very new to character animation in Blender so I might be doing something wrong. Any feedback is very welcome!

I am using BlendArMocap with a model from Make Human's MPFB plugin for Blender. It is compatible with Rigify and everything seems to work well but facial expressions seem to be inaccurate or maybe too subtle. I have included a screen recording below that shows the reference video with a smiling face and the MPFB model in Blender which is sporting more of a grimace.

Is there some way to increase the influence of the reference on the model's face?

THANK YOU!

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS Ventura 13.5.2
• Blender Version: 3.6.4
• BlendArMocap Version: 1.6.1

Additional context
Using a model created by MPFB version: 2.0-a3
