At State of Unreal, Epic Games made headlines by showcasing its latest motion capture animation technology that produces realistic 3D animations of faces in minutes from videos shot on an iPhone.
Epic Games showcases new motion capture animation technology
According to ArsTechnica, Epic Games showed off a demo of its next-generation MetaHuman facial animation tool during its State of Unreal presentation during the Game Developers Conference.
The new auto-animation technology is based on the MetaHuman Games Epic modeling tool, released in 2021 with Unreal Engine 5.
Previous tools require detailed 4D capture from specialized hardware, weeks or months of processing time, and human refinement to create game-usable animations for even the most experienced studios.
MetaHuman’s next-generation facial animation tool enables highly realistic 3D facial animations to be created in minutes from video captured on stage with an iPhone, and demonstrated by engineers on stage.
The resulting 3D animation of the performer’s face is almost indistinguishable from the original live action video on the iPhone, from bared teeth to small mouth twitches and sideways glances.
