AccuFACE 2 review
A focused iClone plugin for professional facial capture with webcam and video workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
AccuFACE 2 is a Windows plugin for iClone 8 that captures facial performance from webcam input or recorded video. Its AI tracking is optimized for Character Creator 5 HD characters, with support for facial expressions, detailed lip movement, full-frame capture, and expression-curve editing. It is aimed at character artists, animators, filmmakers, game developers, and other creators producing facial animation within Reallusion’s iClone workflow.
The published plan is the AccuFACE 2 Perpetual License, priced at $299 USD as a one-time purchase. It includes the AI facial motion capture plugin for iClone 8, webcam and recorded-video capture, and optimization for CC5 HD characters. A 30-day trial provides an evaluation period before purchase. The product’s main ecosystem connection is iClone 8, so its value is closely tied to creators already working in that environment rather than teams seeking a standalone capture application or a broad set of integrations.
AccuFACE 2’s strongest area is the depth of its facial workflow. High-frequency lip tracking, expression curve presets, custom curves, and refinement tools for neutral pose, smoothing, and denoise support control after capture. AccuLIPS adds integrated tongue articulation, while mobile-recorded video can contribute to a full-body workflow. The product supports real-time and recorded capture, with FBX, OBJ, ABC, and USD listed among its export formats. Choose it for professional facial animation centered on iClone 8 and CC5 HD characters; choose an alternative if Windows compatibility, standalone operation, or a wider platform ecosystem is a priority.
