HK Voodoo is a powerful new tool for character animation in Max. You can track and record facial animation in real-time directly inside the Max viewport, or record voice and data on your mobile device. HK Voodoo uses iOS ARKit to track facial expressions and sends that data to the companion HK Voodoo 3ds Max plugin.

HK Voodoo is available for Max 2018 to 2020 and costs $54.99. A demo version is available here.
