Command line or some script for A2F. Possible?

Omniverse Apps Audio2Face

Is it possible to have command line or script, which

  1. Automatically starts A2F (gui or headless)
  2. Load some previously created scene (settings)
  3. Convert files in folder “C:\MyAudioFiles” to skeletal animations to folder “C:\MyUSDanimations”.
    Anyway, any possible automation workflow for this task.

Hey zenyaz, we are currently working on a rest api to support headless batching and automated workflows in a2f. Please stay tuned for more details as we progress on the project.

Thank you for the update.

Will this 2022.2 update (not confirmed) also allow for “live” audio streaming into a “live” headless mode that can generate a render “live”?

Live audio stream → Audio2Face live rendering headless → video stream out

Hi, any news about API?

Hi @czapio the API now comes with A2F 2022.2

we have an overview on youtube about how to get started, the documentation, how to run audio2face without UI and some python examples on how to use this API:
Audio2Face Headless and RestAPI Overview - YouTube

@adammpolak For this release, the API can be mainly used for importing a file, manipulate the settings/option and export and we will expand from here. The video streaming or be able to render from the headless seems to be a natural expansion based on the feedback that we already got.

Any feedback on how people use the API or would like to use it is always welcome!

@RogerBR Having this from headless would be awesome. Being able to load a previous setting and new audio then render to video with defined camera position. Also being able to ensure that any imported USD with animations can also be rendered. (for example, if there is some body/head animation other than facial animation)

Adding another vote for the headless streaming.
It is exactly what I hoped to find in the forum today.
