Андрей, подскажи, я слышал что сейчас появилась возможность для создания эмоций не через Айфон, а через Андройд устройства вроде через какое то стороннее приложение?

[@charlytutors]

Привет, честно слышал только за Virtual Camera на Android, которая официально стала поддерживаться в 5.4. Даже видео выпускали на эту тему. kzbin.info/www/bejne/inexlaB9iLqMqc0 А вот чтобы FaceLink держало - не слышал...

[@ultrawhey4233]

Привет,есть пару вопросов: UV в UE своя у MH,то как альбодо,нормал и все другие карты применяется от 3Д скана?Они не конфлектуют,или ты используешь новые сканы для metahumans?.Они сказали что их новые нормалки запечены на сетку metahuman. И пробывал ли ты такой же процес с VFace текстурами от XYZ?

[@charlytutors]

Привет. Я использую их новую подборку, которая специально сделана для Metahuman. Они даже полноценный урок на эту тему выпускали - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqDXlGiPlL51fcU Она находится здесь - www.3dscanstore.com/metahuman Купил этого мужика под свою задачу - www.3dscanstore.com/metahuman/metahuman_identity_male_30 Насчет второго вопроса - у меня нет цели слишком долго заморачиваться с лицом, поэтому нашел первый способ и доволен =) Зачем усложнять себе жизнь? Я стараюсь максимально быстро делать то, что не относится к моему направлению. То есть находить быстрые решения =)
