Create "Yourself" and Other 3D People in METAHUMAN!!

On today's #3D #livestream I'll try to re-create myself in #MetaHuman with the use of a few reference images! MetaHuman is Epic Games' answer to realtime digital humans. I'm super excited about this because it will allow us to seamlessy integreate these photoreal characters into any scene straight from Quixel Bridge.
MetaHuman is in early access beta, but you should be able to register and download with an Epic Games account. It's all FREE: www.unrealengi...

200 hours in character creation, I can finally play the game now.

[@内田ガネーシュ]

@Bliss Okpu Except for in the cutscenes. only two of them. I like that creator though. for me it was making abominations in DS2.

[@内田ガネーシュ]

​@Bliss Okpu Especially in RPGs. The only reason I got Cyberpunk was to complete the game butt naked face looking worse than a 90 yr old chain smoking hooker. Its just Disney channel at that point.

[@MentalParadox]

@Bliss Okpu I love how you say "a game called Metal Gear Solid 5" as if anyone who hasn't lived under a rock the past 10 doesn't know what MGS V is.

Hello Clint! Unfortunately I couldn’t watch this live but I wanted to say a big thank you to you and all the people on Discord who help build this community! I’ve never participated in anything similar before and it was so fun and educational. You really helped me focus on something positive these past few days and deal with anxiety. I’m hoping to be a more active member of this wonderful community you’ve created. Thank you so much!

[@AlistairHume]

Haha, love it! I totally had a go at creating myself as a MetaHuman as well, and got sort of close, from the right angles. However, my girlfriend and I couldn't get anywhere near when we tried to recreate her. I think that's often the case with base-scan systems - but the tool is still absolutely incredible. It does really make me want to learn Character Creator, and make a fully custom 'me'. Much love for all your UE4 content, from the UK! Looking forward to seeing more :)

Nice thing is that it prevents you from making unrealistic people so it ends up feeling more powerful.

[@VixenDra]

At this point it brings it way too far since I couldn't recreate traits of real existent people, forget my character:P Making it the opposite of powerful at its current beta state^^ Needs a lot of extra control-related upgrades, that's for sure. Generally I'd rather have a toggle that would let me go unrealistic if necessary if that's what it rakes to recreate the face I need:P I'd use it then. Anything to get the job done. Right now I can't go even 50% similar (said character's face is like 90-95% a blend of 2 real people and only a few % made-up to spice up the design and he's still a human in the end, I should be able to reach at least that 2 existent people blend level of similarity if realistic was the only limit, I got much closer results with Black Desert Online, just toonier) Can't wait for updates!

[@Yaroslav_Tselovanskyi]

Clint I just watch you goodbye vid on corridor. I figured if I didn't watch it, in my universe, it meant that you still worked there and would until I did watch it. I glad I did cause now I have a whole new channel with a bunch of vids to binge watch now.

[@elissitdesign]

I probably would have approached this like a figure drawing class; start with big things first like shapes and tones, details like eyes and teeth last. What an amazing free tool!

[@therunawaykid6523]

Yeah I was surprised how detailed and well done the animations were for a free tool! Would love a go at making myself using it one day

[@erikak6125]

This is a fantasic webinar! I can't wait to try this out. I've been waiting for a long time to create something with a program like this.

[@legacylee]

So Clint, now that I had a few days playing around with MetaHuman Creator, I get your thumbnail. I didn't get a chance to finish this whole video but I watched a good deal of it and I can totally understand your pain brother. I was trying to challenge myself by creating celebrities' from the presets, I tried Angelina Jolie as well as the lady who plays the female T-2000, I felt like I couldn't quite get the sculpts to where I wanted them, but I noticed it's like flying a drone, the smaller my movements I started see how little you have to move it to get it right, it's still felt a little limited but trust me, smaller movements in the right directions make all the difference.

[@goingmyles7681]

Clint is so wholesome

[@Create-The-Imaginable]

You creating yourself with Unreal Engine MetaHuman Creator reminds me of the "Residual Self Image" from the movie the Matrix! The Metaverse is coming sooner than we think!

[@RubenGoMoRadioboyPlus]

You have to be a good artist to make good portraits there too. Technology only gives you the tools.

[@VixenDra]

yes but for now Metahuman doesn't have the tools yet (they are way too limited, not enough control is possible), e.g. I can't get even a 50% likeness level for my character for now while I could recreate him in Black Desert online like 95-97% accurate (I'm only missing some fine sculpting to make a more angular nostril area and such details +ofc the expressions are a nope there, that's why I got hyped for Metahuman +the hyperrealism as opposed to the BDO's semi-realistic which still worked quite well) after drawing him many times before in more or less realistic styles...

[@Goddess_Moros]

I think you went about some of this backwards. Align the center of your head and neck and bring eyes-nose-mouth to the right place after getting the overall shape. Nonetheless, excellent stream! Super informative and I look for to catching one in the future!

[@ibrews]

Just got confirmation from the devs the MetaHuman Creator camera is 75mm

[@LakeshoreParanormal]

Love what you are doing cant wait to see more

[@KKOLL007]

I was trying to do this myslef and get the same amount of frustration, this has a lot of potential, but i feel it very limited RN.

[@pyaesone4741]

Thanks for sharing bro! You have done great job!

[@neon-kitty]

You don't need to pick a base character who matches your desired ethnicity, gender, age or skin colour, actually. The best way to try and recreate specific faces is to go by overall face shape. I.e. if you want to create someone who has a very narrow face, it's best to just find a base character who also has a very narrow face regardless of whether they otherwise look like what you're trying to create. And then you can swap out the skin material/skin colour and use the blend tool to try and get the facial features you need. But yeah, trying to recreate specific people/characters in Metahuman is currently very tricky and unintuitive.

[@henriquedldart1676]

the thumbnail looks just like beeple

[@AmielCetraro]

What's the app he's using at 9:29 to view his pictures?

[@Prince7G]

Pure ref

[@Ernzt8]

Great work! At creating the face, isn't it more logical to start with the skull size and work your way in? That way, changing the nose for example won't interfere with the position of the eyes

[@nickkulgachev3478]

I cant get over how the head is so comically large on these things lmao

[@AurrenTV]

I'm calling it, Meta-human and possibly even Quixel will become associated with cheapness and laziness just like RPG Maker default tilesets are, from all the asset flipping shovelware scam artists are going to make. Seeing a metahuman in a game will probably give you the same feeling as seeing comic sans.

[@heavenseek]

Thats a visionary and underrated comment. I agree.

[@MultiMirs]

Perhaps you could do a line art outline tracing of the photo before using it as reference on Pureref?

[@RANInkTV]

I think I made one around that same time. I didn't think about using my pics as references

[@KillerTacos54]

You’re amazing Clint!

[@mrirurfkjsdo]

[@carbonx95.08]

[@MrJayOkane]

You know how in photo shop you flip the image to make sure your lines and proportions are ok. This needs that.

[@legacylee]

Dude, you should have someone describe a person to you, and you sculpt a character based on that information only, to make things better don't show the person until you're done to see if maybe it looks anything like what they pictured. Limit it to like 3 descriptors, and maybe a time limit. I blame you and the guys at corridor for making me think this way :D

[@therdai-art]

Absolute newbie to 3d. Just want to learn how to create 3D characters for our books, which can later be used to make videos.

[@KeyFrame11Media]

It's wonderful that there is so much variation, however it's frustrating that there aren't detailed isolated spots. I need to modify selected areas but I don't want them parented to other areas. It makes it hard to get it just right. Otherwise for a free early access program this is amazing.

[@lucidparalysis2794]

[@TorQueMoD]

I noticed when I was playing with MetaHuman yesterday, and even more so watching your stream... their head scale is off. It looks like the characters are in Big Head Mode where the head is scaled to about 125% compared to the body. (about 2 mins after I wrote this, you said it in the video lol)

It's definitely very limited now, but daz, being almost way too much freedom can't even match your face or mine either, so meta human being pretty looking, I think it's fine for early access, but no way it worth 100$ a month as of current.

[@brotherman2823]

I'm seeing more MetaHuman examples in my feeds and all I'm thinking as I look closely is, yeah, but do the pores stretch?

[@NetTubeUser]

Everybody makes the same mistake when people try to create a 3D model of themselves. Never ever start to change the eyes, the nose, the lips, and other facial details first; always start with the shape of the head instead, including the neck and shoulders. And then, you can change the eyes, the nose, etc. Why? Because you tell immediately what kind of eyes, nose lips that you really have, you can see clearly details that don't really match the shape of your face and your head which is crutial. Otherwise, it would take too much time, and the result cannot be what you really expected to be.

[@destructorestelargalactico7345]

I have try metahuman a couple of hours... and I have reach the conclusion that despite of you can do virtually endeless variations of the provided base models, you can not modificate enough the base models to make it look like another person unless that person already looks similar to the base model... there are limitations to basic things as chin shape, nose shape or eyes angle, and eyebrowns options that make it impossible... maybe they will develope later a not free version that will allow those simple changes
