This means that filmmakers and game developers now have access to a high quality, affordable solution that was previously only available to specialist studios.This book will focus on using UE5 and MHC from a filmmaker angle. Firstly, youll understand how to use the online MHC to create a digital character, changing its facial structure, body type, and clothing. After that, youll learn all the necessary steps to bring the character into UE5 and set it up for animation. Then, using an iPhone and a webcam to capture face and body movements, youll mix these motion capture files, refine the animations using the MetaHuman Control Rig, and save these takes to be reused and edited again within the Level Sequencer. On top of that, youll learn how to create a rendered video file for film production using both the Level Sequencer and a VR Cinematic Camera. By the end of this book, youll have created your own MetaHuman character, as well as face and body motion capture data, and learned the necessary skills to give your future projects further realism and creative control.What you will learnCreate your own bespoke character using MHCDevelop custom faces based on real peopleUtilize Blueprints to take control of your digital characterRetarget animations using the Unreal MannequinUse DeepMotion and Live Link for complete body and face animationUse the Control Rig to refine animationsExport and render your characterWho this book is forThis book is for filmmakers and hobbyists who are planning to make a film using Unreal Engine for the first time, having worked in live action or purely digital media previously, either professionally or as a hobby.
