Unreal Engine 5 | Enzo Behind the Scenes | Part 7: Metahuman Body & Facial Motion Fine Tuning
Link to our short film Enzo: • Enzo: Vitruvian Metahuman | Real-Time...
This is the seventh part of the behind the scenes, where I share how I fine-tuned Enzos body and facial motion performance using the Metahuman control rigs.
Enzo was brought to life using the mesh to metahuman plugin by @3lateral4 & @EpicGamesStore in @UnrealEngine 5.
The body performances were captured using the @MovellaInc Link suit with the @ManusMeta Prime II gloves, and I also go over the data I captured using the new Xsens Metagloves.
The facial motion performances were captured using the Mark IV HMC by @FacewareTech and streamed into Unreal using the @GlassboxTech Live Client plugin. I also go over the recently released Faceware Portal and show what this data looks like using Enzos dialogue performance.
Enzo's original character was created by @tomisackmann for his course on @cgcircuitLLC using @MaxonVFX Zbrush, @Russian3dscannerSoftware plugin Zwrap, @Autodesk Maya, Mari & Mudbox and @Substance3D
Special thank you to @mocappys Simon Kay for all of his feedback and support throughout Enzos body and facial motion fine tuning process.
And another special thank you to Arsène van de Bilt from Manus for his help and feedback during Enzos finger performance fine tuning.
And a big thank you to Unreal Engine Artist @maxwarlond for providing the Metahuman lighting setup I used throughout this video!
Lastly, thank you to Kelly Shipman and @PugetSystemsPC for creating this incredible workstation I am grateful I get to use every day!
