FaceFX To Unreal – Import and Export from FaceFX

You’ll need an audio file that has speech in it, and you’ll want a text file with the same name (different extension obviously), that has the line typed out. Have the two files together.

  1. Open FaceFX
  2. Drag your audio file into FaceFX
  3. Go to File -> Export -> XML Actor… and save and XML file.
  4. In Unreal, drag the XML file into the Content Browser. This will import the audio and CurveTables into /Content/FaceFX

Eventually you will want to bring your character model into FaceFX for fine tuning your lines, this workflow doesn’t actually require that step though.
