Is there a public API to automate setting up avatars for audio2face?

Is there a public API for Audio2Face so I can automate as much as possible the various steps to get blendshapes added to a character?

Also, does this seem a useful process, or do things go wrong often enough that visual inspection of each step to verify correctness means automation is not useful. I realize adding the corresponding points probably needs to be done manually each time, but I want to import 20 to 30 characters. Repeating all the steps each time I often find is tedious and prone to human error. All the characters have identical bone structure etc.

And with 105, are the tutorial videos likely to be updated? I found some of the buttons have moved or have different labels now compared to the videos from a few years back. (E.g. Is it worth waiting a week after 105 is out for new content to avoid wasting time on old videos, or should I just dive in now.)

Thanks!

This is a script used to setup the A2F pipeline for Reallusion characters. But it has quite a lot of hard coded parts that you need to update in order to make it work for your characters.
If you have a correspondence.json file for your characters, this should work nicely.
That said this only works with the latest 105 which is not out yet. So you might want to wait a week or so to try it out.

And yes,105 will have new tutorials for sure.
