"During the process of creating, that is when you learn the most. You find solutions to problems and create new pipelines" - this is so so true! Great video!

Just to put this in perspective: she is using at least 47 168$ of hardware, not even including software licenses. So the result is really nice, but it's also very proffesional gear. Not for your average 3D Artist 🥲 Faceware Mark IV $ 28,749 Xsens MVN Link $ 13,630 Manus prime II $4,789

Exactly! haha, I was like shit you quit bartending and bought 50k worth of the highest end gear to make a short for yourself? -- That must have been some seriously nice bar:)

This is the best model I have ever seen. Good for you for giving the proper credits to your contributors :)

I've been working with unreal engine and 3d applications for 15 years, its really great to see how elements of the engine have become very intuitive for people like yourself to just jump in and create awesome work without years of experience under your belt. Very talented work and I'm glad you are able to express your creativity without a problem using ue5

Is Blender + UE5 a good choice, from the career standpoint, for somebody starting out in this space?

Amazing! Thank you so much for documenting this process and sharing with all of us.

By far the most interesting, valuable, insightful look at this world which I have only recently begun to seriously learn. I really appreciate you making this, instantly subbed.

The eyes wide open as a sync point is a gem! 👍👏

Congrats! Looks Awesome. This level of tech is ahead of what artist have been trying to do for decades. Totally Next Gen.

Not even sure what to say. You are amazing. I'm slowly getting into UE5, focusing on lumen and nanite, however it's hard to ignore how incredible this platform is in so many other aspects. Thank you for sharing this.

Setting the example for the rest of us, just amazing

Very well explained. Great work on documenting this and explaining it so succinctly.

The uncanny valley is slowly disappearing. This is gorgeous. Can’t wait to see it in video games, imagine the drama the characters will convey with those realistic expressions.

Thanks so much for showing us the process. Looking forward to learning more.

Thank you for this! keep up your amazing work and sharing 😍

This is by far the best mocap result I've seen so far. There were no jerky movements and the mouth didn't half way open like other videos I've seen. This is perfect.

Brilliant video thank you - I am starting out with performace capture, with the emphasis on performance. Your character's aminmation is so nuanced! Inspired.

fantastic! will sub! Im just starting my journey into unreal and i couldnt be more thrilled! this is great! keep it up!

Beautiful work. Thank you for explaining your process. Subscribed.

Gabriel, its very very cool👍 Thank you for studying this awesome job and sharing your experiences and knowledge with us. Develop further and share with us. We will support you by getting inspiration from you. I hope that transferring your project to UE5 will be a big bang, in the field of animation, graphics, motion capture and much more. Your 3D model is as beautiful as you are🤩 Greetings from sunny Kazakhstan🖐

Wow, you made an amazing leap. Very cool. Congratulations.

Talented and beautiful, willing to share her experiences to make others better.

so amazing

Awesome work! Can't wait to see what you can do in Unreal 5!

Having a team just for a dedicated work flow is very helpful. As a solo artist, I struggle alot due to lack of limited online information, funds and time. You all r great and doing 100000x great job than mine 🙂. I m steel limited to use manual key framing for animations.

Incredible. 😊💯

Hi! Your video and workflow is amazing! Really open my eys to a new virtual world! I am a blender user and very interested in learning blender / metahuman / Unreal. I am very new to Unreal 5 and very much hope that you can make a in-depth tutorial to help show the steps! It really helps newbie like me try to enter this fun world like you! Also, I love the presentation of your avatar, she looks very pretty! Great work and hope to see more videos from you!

The jitter smoothing looks good, you make UE look real good. I think the reason it still looks stiff at some parts of the face is the rig. Most sliders on the rig is a 2 way axis. So this looks like a great previz but i wonder if it'd be possible to fully utilize the axis on each bone for the final shot somehow.

@FeedingWolves

Thank you so much! I am not sure if it is possible to fully utilize the axis on each bone.

This is VERY interesting. How do you do you do such things? Can you make an in depth tutorial?? (Great work Feeding_Wolves, blown away as usual.)

Amazing tech. Little bit of sticker shock when I seen the 30k pricetag (For just the Mark IV Wireless Headcam System). You can't deny the results though. Look fantastic.

This is so so helpful, as always Gabriella. You make such clear, awesome videos. Faceware is so great - I just wish they employed someone like you to fix their “how to” videos and help resources. They are outdated and don’t help with common bugs and issues. Btw Faceware studio is heavily dependent on having major contrast between lips and skin, and strong eyebrows. I have pale skin and pale-ish lips, sparse-ish eyebrows, plus a beard/mustache. Faceware Studio doesn’t work unless I wear heavy makeup. :) I have FW studio and also own analyzer/Retargeter which is much more accurate but harder to use. And is buggy with metahumans and maya - crash city! 😂

Thank you! I personally do not have a beard lol so I haven't experienced this issue. I know the beard might confuse the tracker because you really want your mouth visible for it to get good tracking. I also recommend trying the different tracking methods - stationary vs professional head cam options. I have not used the Maya pipeline so I am missing out ;)

Hey Gabriella, It's amazing that you showcase the facial animation quality that can be achieved by a single person. Looking forward to see your continued journey. I have a few questions: 1. How much time did you approximately spend on manual clean-up and additional animation in the video's that you have shown so far? Or what would be a good estimation to achieve your quality level for 1 minute of continued speech animation? 2. Did you fully manually animate the tongue or did you use some tool to help you with this? 3. Can you show a side by side comparison of the raw motion capture data vs the post-processed (incl manual work) version? I'm quite interested in the visual difference. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

Thank you for your kind words. To answer your questions: 1. It is hard to give you an approximate time on how long each performance takes for fine tuning. It really depends. The Greek metahuman robot girl took me three days. The one following that, that had more dialogue and took a bit longer. 2. I did animate the tongue manually and used my own reference video to figure out when to drop those keys. I show my process for this in the intro of this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/i6yhm9OGn5zNqbQ.html 3. Raw vs processed data..skip to 6:32 kzread.info/dash/bejne/hWphrM2ioc-tgrA.html so you can get an idea of what the data looks like raw with the additive layer disabled vs it enabled.

5:34 "faceware will get you 90 percent of the way there" - Thanks for this stunning video. Question about this one quote: Is there any place where you compare the raw faceware images with the final? And did you ever get more of those jitters solved? For example is the facial tracking you show in this video, say at 1:20, is that raw or processed (by you, by hand). And if it is processed how long did that take per second of video? Did you find it mostly a problem with mouth closures on the explosives? Thanks

For the people who think this is accessible, all of that is over $40k worth of equipment. Just saying...
