Unreal Engine 5 | Metahuman reading a poem | Cinematic | LiveLink - Test

Basically what the title says.

Dug out a little poem by H.P. Lovecraft and recorded my performance while reading it. Put it all together into a little cinematic and spiced it up with a simple 3-point lighting. Nothing more to say except that it is super duper fun to mimic my own facial expression. (:

Original poem:

The most merciful thing in the world, I think,
is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.
We live on a placid island of ignorance
in the midst of black seas of infinity,
and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

The sciences, each straining in its own direction,
have hitherto harmed us little;
but some day the piecing together
of dissociated knowledge will
open up such terrifying vistas of reality,
and of our frightful position therein,
that we shall either go mad from the revelation
or flee from the light into the peace
and safety of a new dark age.

In 15 years we will look back at this like how we can look back at the Heavy Rain 2006 demo

This is excellent. Only the mouth movements give it away. Two-Minute Papers recently had an interesting video with regards to facial performance capture. I'm not sure if the software demonstrated on that channel is commercially available yet but the prospect of having AR-Kit like precision tracking on any device with a camera is very appealing.

I can still tell this is a cgi because of the lips and eye movements aren’t as smooth. But everything else is realistic

Nice quote from HP Lovecraft, at the start of his short story The Call Of Cthulhu.

I could not tell whatsoever that this was animated until he started talking. This is incredible. Definitely try to manually adjust things that the capture doesn’t get quite right and you’ll be golden.

This is pretty much 100% real but the inside of the mouth lacks the correct physics behaviour which makes it immediately distinguishable from reality. The way the inside of the mouth wraps around the teeth etc needs to be simulated properly and also the lips movement according to the speech.

The last great hurdle does seem to be the lip movements. The key problem seems to be the lips don't move as if they are making those sounds. "Placid island of ignorance" the "Placid" "P" doesn't purse his lips together.

Maybe there's something that can be done with AI ontop of these mo-caps to better sync the lip movements and the words.

The mouth is still the only big problem but that's still impressive

This is actually so advanced. Please make a tutorial on how you make the meta humans look so realistic.

The only flaw I see, is the toungue movement that's lacking. Other than that, everything looks so clean and perfect. Awesome job <3

Hello, friend! I recorded the face and head animations with Take Recorder, but when I insert the animations into Sequencer, there are no head movements, only the face. What should I do?
