Pssst... Here is an @UnrealEngine Skeletal Mesh, converted to @OzoneStoryTech Subdivs. With a single click we got 5 Levels of Smoothing, 1.3million polygons... all running at 60 fps.
No more over modeling your assets to bring them into real-time. Film / TV Studios get to keep their subdiv workflow and games now can create lower res models and have resolution independence at runtime.
Alpha starts next week, beta and sales start in December. If you are interested... let us know :)

At Unreal Fest Stockholm, Voice to Visuals brought together Unreal Engine’s most powerful animation tools, showing how expressive performances can come to life in real time.
Using Take Recorder, Sequencer, MetaHuman Animator, Live Link Hub, and Performance Capture Manager — alongside Captury’s markerless motion capture — the demo showcased end-to-end performance capture and playback inside UE.
From voice-driven lip sync to real-time retargeting across diverse characters, and even dynamic character swaps, this workflow demonstrates a new era of speed, creativity, and flexibility for animation and more!

How to Merge a Metahuman Animator Face Capture to a Body youtu.be/yl3iztwwZFo?si=v1EN… via @YouTube
This question has come up recently so I thought I would make a video about it.

A test using Suno for a song about Digital Puppets, and then ran that song through ElevenLabs for voice. That audio is put into Metahuman Animator's "Audio Driven Animation" for lip sync. Then I dance around the room with a VR controller to get eye animation and head motion.

Join us tmrw at 2pm ET for an Inside Unreal livestream.
I'll be rigging a character using #UnrealEngine5.4's skinning tools; then bringing it to life using the new Auto-Retargeter.

UE 5.4 just came out along with the new Movie Render Graph. It's been a long time coming but we can finally render in layers out of UE! I made a video covering the basics of how to get going.

I was working on videos for UE 5.4 and wanted to give a sneak peak on Layered Control Rigs. You no longer need to bake to edit anim clips! Lots of fun uses with this.
Stay tuned for the video and the example content!

I created a short video explaining "How to Use An Xbox Controller in Editor with Virtual Live Link". This is useful for virtual productions when you can't enter "Play in Editor" but want to control cameras, virtual characters, etc. youtu.be/mEG-KTqQpDE via @YouTube
