MetaHuman - Real-Time Facial Model Animation Demo | State of Unreal 2023 

But was this really captured on iPhone ?

@@Bananaz9xx yeah. That's not what they would use in professional settings, but with lighting adapters and the iphone's 3d scan ability, you can do amazing things with it. Like, your iphone can literally scan your whole house and render it out in real time. It's fkn crazy!

Don't judge yet, we need to see this real-time when released, so everyone will make a video about it if it's true or lie.

@@FantasyNero It's not a matter of if the phone is capable, as doing research shows that it can. It's a matter of whether or not Epic can make the software to do it.

Yup UE5 is quite à technological milestone for the industry. A lot is going to change in the background. People might not see it through games and shows/movies but it will be used in a lot of production pipeline now.

3 min for 85% of a 9 second shot.

honestly id say its above 85 the movements almost perfect, but it’s rendering in real time. absolutely insane.

@@ThatGuyMata Its free

@@ThatGuyMata yea its great

That cleanup though!

Everyone is overwhelmed with all the innovations happening all the time. We can't keep acting surprised and blown away every 5 minutes.

@@jmasked5082 bro is not excited 💀

​@@jmasked5082 because it doesn't look like your as passionate about it as we are

Metahumans are not game-ready. And they will not be game ready for a few years at least. They TANK the performance of your project. And that is before optimizing with LOD, adding facial animations or adding hair physics. Yeah its cool technology. But Unreal Engine 4.26 without Metahumans is the meta for indie developers. Haha did you see the pun there.

And using a phone as the capture device.

That idea is unreal

TM

you're hired!

What nickpick do you have clown

True, but imagine that you can have high quality close-up while you talk with literally every NPC in some RPG... Insanity.

No worries AI will fix it by next week.

Well, they did do this with a cell phone.

@@korinogaro the only thing really missing for NPCs are human like behaviour. Imagine if NPC act like humans? Hopefully as advancement in AI, we would see it applied in game where there are a billion parameters the NPC can act like at all times.

which will never come out in the frst place

​@@rokpepeshogun Spiderman lotus reference

So now we will have better corn animation?

For everyone really

neil breen might be able to make even more amazing movies

Or boring and repetitive

@@jhinabloomingflower807 will see tho

Its looks dystopian and evil tbh

You miss the point. This technology is boring and old without AI-NPCs

Wait till AI takes away your writing job too...then AI will do all the 'developing'. No humans required.

One man movie... you can create a whole movie alone. Or from clips on the internet. :D

You won't watch it, even when they do. There's so much content out there now, no one has the time.

Zumeckis enters the chat

They don’t need to hire actors.

@@badpuppy3 you're boring

Right? 50 years ago was when Pong arrived.

Why is everything going so fast

@@jojothepro15 Technology will keep expanding exponentially. Especially now A.I is becomming to become a thing. It will actually go faster.

@@jojothepro15 Gotta go fast!

@@jojothepro15 That's how technology works. But still... not fast enough.

Let's hope that games will come out faster because nowadays it takes them forever.

@@Rapunzel879 that's the aim of many of the improvements made to unreal. hoping for the best but even with all these advancements, I'm unsure games will come out much quicker.

@@Rapunzel879I’d rather have them take forever and make a masterpiece, than have it sooner and be terrible.

graphics aren't what makes the games fun, as we have witnessed in the last... 7-10 years

Lets hope the file size is smaller.. current game at least 20gb

Following their whole process from making Hellblade, she became my favorite person with no prior cinematic experience be able to elevate the character they way she did it is exceptional.

She's gorgeous

​@@darcksonrabelo1866 no cap

who is melina

2 minute papers ha ha!!

Different technologys.

@@AlmiranteLobo yeah no s**t sherlock ☠

You do know that unreal engine 5 will be used for the metaverse and there is a tech called metahero that scans items.

metahuman looked like Mark Zukerberg tho' :v

WTF is "metaverse"??

And a cup of coffee (not included for free in Unreal) Engine

A lot of complex things are being calculated by the phone and PC.

True. Climbing that valley!

For sure, but this can be hand tweaked to fix a lot of that as far as animation. However, think back just a few years to high budget CG movies like Beowulf, Final Fantasy Spirits Within or even Avatar and how close this gets to that in real time without armies of artists and with almost no budget. It's a huge leap.

the eyes still looks dead !

​@@offlinegamer6756 cry to mommy

@@bulletsmichael Why are you butthurt?

Just wait until they implement AI into game engines.

@@Siranoxz Unity just added chatGPT into the engine

@@Irrelavant__ There ya go, it already begun..

Scary 😱

Sorry to be pessimistic, but we've been saying that for years and the quality of games has decreased. Everyone was saying ''future looks bright for gaming'' but then we just got disappointments.. The only game that truly reached the expectations from 10-15 years ago is RDR2. Most gamers expected that every game will have the same quality as RDR2 by now, but that's not the case. Even the most advanced technology is useless if the companies are greedy and the developers are lazy and have no passion..

Imagine what the next 50 years will be like.

50? Try 10.

50 years? Try 15 days.

​@@SassInYourClass 15 days? Try 5

@@sandprince4165 5 days? Try 5 minutes

Or focus on looking for new jobs or start their own projects

Finally. It's just crazy how game developing time is 2...7 years nowadays

Combine that with the programs that can recreate your voice from just a couple of words and people could be playing as themselves.

You can already do it on sports games now at a lower level. Games like NBA2K allow you to scan your face with your phone and upload it into the game. Not nearly as detailed as this, but the idea is def out there.

The whole point of gaming is being someone else no?

So we can have better avatars for social media than the ones on our phones

​@@DazHotep6EQUJ5No

This was my thought as well. You've got to think that's next.

That would be a online game with quiet some minimum requirements, just for one feature. Unlikely financially feasible in the coming decade, because those games want a huge userbase, i.e. let it run on a potato

Sounds like you'd need a NASA computer for that

​@@lgolem09l you could just turn it on or off

This is still MoCap..

You mean without the mocap suit

@@trmbne yup its using Iphone to detect our facial structure, so webcam or android phone cant be use since the technology is better on Iphone

You know what Motion Capture is.. right?..

honestly, the slight smile seriously impressed me. That part looked the most human to me

Well to be honest She herself was uncanny in the capture athe very first place

have you seen Ubisoft games? This is in no way rough! This level of facial performance is already better than many AAA games' already

@@alexdoan273 It's not perfect, but they didn't really take their time to make any adjustments, they did it in under 3 minutes, imagine if they took 10 minutes to tweak it

@@alexdoan273 Keyword "finished" no Ubisoft game is finished lmao

@@misterteee9471 LOL truth about Ubisoft 😂

Not sure if you watched to the end but after the raw capture they cut to a polished clip. The capture isn't lacking its the environment/lighting/Vfx work that puts it over the top.

Mentions PoP, deserves a like. My man.

Prince of Persia?

there is no rotoscoping.... the tracking data its being placed on a 3d character with a 3d background.

Its not rotoscoping. That is different. Rotoscoping is 2d animation technique and this is a 3d model.

yeah... humanity get a real speed up in tech advancement... scary times

Simulations within simulations, we keep going further and further inward

Luckily, batteries are holding everything back. As far as I'm aware, there's been nothing revolutionary in that area for years. As soon as there is, the physical world really will change. Robots with fusion batteries, uh oh.

Hey, I'm not a bot but in a few years? Yeah we're all gonna be married to in game NPCs.

Gentlemen, it has been a privilege playing with you tonight.

Competition will skyrocket.

Not insane, UNREAL.
