@@RelaxKiral another question on this, if I may ask; The live link app gives you the option to record a video, which I have; I suppose this is to use the recorded video instead of live. But how? I play it within the app but on unreal it still tracks the live feed. Any ideas?

[@babacartoure8120]

nice job thanks, now if you want a mocap for all the body, is it working with the phone ?

[@RelaxKiral]

Thanks! :) It depends on the quality you want, there is a way to use the phone but the result would be a little bit jiggy. I am planning to show on how to use some made animation. I would also recommend a motion capture suit if ppl have the budget ~

[@whovisionsCGI]

Great video. How do you record the live link animation to render it out as a video sequence?

[@RelaxKiral]

Hi there! Thx! There is two way to do this one is record from the app then import it and the second way is directly record using take recorder with the live link plugin (make sure you select the correct source). Hope this might help a bit :)

[@davidmonteiro6822]

Thank you! 1 - how did you create your mesh with hair (cards) in order to work correctly in Unreal? 2 - How do you record the facial mocap and apply it to the CG character and render it out, without lag?

[@RelaxKiral]

You are very welcome! Really good question and could be deep question, like the ways of hair creations and how to put it I. unreal, mocap data processing and etc. I will consider maybe to put it in the coming tutorial for fun. But I will probably share some more basic videos first and then go deeper by then :)

[@davidmonteiro6822]

[@Polytricity]

I don't understand the mouthClosed blendshape, normally I use a bone for the jaw / mouth open. So, is mouth close design to compensate for the jaw bone opening the mouth and how are the eyes controlled as I usually have those skinned to bones too.?

[@davidbuenov]

Nice explained. How can you capture a pose to put it in a Sequence?

[@RelaxKiral]

This could be something to talk about! Good idea! Maybe I will address this in one of the coming tutorials :)

[@AndyBerendsen]

Hi RelaxKiral, thanks for sharing! Can you also enter text that he will speak? Is that already possible in the demo of Unreal Engine?

[@RelaxKiral]

Hi Andy you are very welcome! :) Right now that don’t come out of the box to achieve that, but it should be possible with couple plugins and customized codes in Unreal. Since it is a little bit complicated maybe I will consider to put this in a tutorial video for this topic on one of my next videos.

[@shockerson]

Great Vid. Wich iphone u used? You think iphone 12 will be enough for livelink?

[@RelaxKiral]

I use iPhone 12 Pro Max But any iPhone with TrueDepth camera should work So probably any iPhone above iPhoneX should works.

[@dialusdudas]

Nice! How do you get the CSV file from your Live Link app imported onto the Metahuman face?

[@RelaxKiral]

Hi there! I actually use the "take recorder" and did not use the CSV. I do know that you can either convert through blender or python to animation too. Hope this might help a bit. :)

[@everydayelvenliving]

Are MetaHuman models able to be further edited in something like Blender? I want to add Elf ears.

[@RelaxKiral]

For personal fun use I think it is not a problem, and I think you can export the model to blender edit it for testing or you can just get the elf ear and attach it to the character armatures (head bone)

[@santy4455]

Una pregunta se puede grabar esa animación y poderla utilizarla en el programa y ponerla en diferentes personajes

[@Clay_Figurine_Legend_Audiobook]

这个面部捕捉的准确度要比 Character Animator 强多了！！！

[@miagifodder5599]

The top lip looks like it needs to move more. real neat tho

[@castortoutnu]

Now someone should create a software to use pictures of your face to create a metahuman that looks exactly like you.

[@RelaxKiral]

There is something like that on CC3 and Blender ! Not perfect but it did a pretty good job. Maybe I will do it in the next tutorial if enough people are interested. :)

[@plagiats]

facebuilder does exactly that

[@evolicious]

um, that's called photogrammetry and has been around for years, lmfao.

[@drippincheez]

[@RelaxKiral]

According to unreal LIve link should be supported with no problem. Produce results as good as the newest iPhone is tricky as, but personally think it should be close to the iPhone 12 pro tho Hope this helps a little

[@leonzetsu7324]

how does the hair run in-game? should i still go with hair cards?

[@kallasnikov]

Any similar app for Android like Live Link? for some reason I thought UE could use a built-in system + Webcam to do that

[@RelaxKiral]

Hi there! Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKikm6p3aZmgic0 It is not free but you can try it in the Trial. Hope this helps a little :)

[@KyleAllisonYo]

Do you find there's less lag or better capture during speech when you aren't live? The iPad feed clearly shows a better capture with fuller lip movement during your last segment. Can you record the live feed as a scratch track for timing on the pc end and record the cleaner data on the iPad for import later?

[@RelaxKiral]

There are .csv and .mov files after you record and you can use it later. Not sure it will help on the quality or not since nowadays the router is quite quick but at least we can put on a better computer for the recorded face

[@fernandogha]

Wow this character is very similar to the Squid's Game main character!

[@RelaxKiral]

True dat lol

[@NeoxEntertainment]

Is it possible to multiplayer replicate those movements of the head mouth and eyes etc ?

[@RelaxKiral]

I think if you mean single input source to multiple player using the same live link, then yes I think it is possible :)

[@plagiats]

iPhone XR is cheaper and works for this

[@Deanmrd]

would it be possible to use this with face rig, When I say face rig the steam program?

[@RelaxKiral]

Assume If unreal agreement on Metahuman creator will not have problem on that( which might not be the case) I think it is possible, just a matter of converting it especially to map the name. :)

[@Thunderclocker]

When I open the project, it asks RigLogic plugin for facial, any solution? I can not find it

[@RelaxKiral]

Hi Christian, I have never encountered this issue. I think RigLogic should installed with 4.26 in unreal. (Maybe double check 4.26 install properly) You should probably able to find it in the Plugin editing interface from the Edit menu. Not sure do this help tho, but good luck!

[@alhusseinali]

Sir, what kinda camera web I can use instead of iPhone?

[@RelaxKiral]

Live Link Face is using the truedepth camera from the iPhone, so unfortunately according to unreal their app is only support in iphone right now

I am using the iPhone 12 pro but considering live link is actually using the TrueDepth camera according to the documentation, I would think the oldest iPhone it should be working is iPhone X.

Hi there According to UE, iPhone X should be supported. And most of our subscriber here used iPhone X before, so this sounds rare. I am not sure is there any problem from your setting, but here is the doc that hopefully would be helpful to you docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/AnimatingObjects/SkeletalMeshAnimation/FacialRecordingiPhone/ There is also a small chance I am guessing your iOS system version might be old ? also make sure your TrueDepth camera is allow to use, which is the selfie camera.
