Unreal Metahumans are incredibly realistic digital characters that can be created for free with Unreal's Metahuman Creator. These characters can then be used in your Unreal projects and offer advanced facial animation capabilities. Facial animation sequences can even be created with motion capture data shot on an iPhone using Unreal's LiveLink Face app. However, it is important to be mindful of the fact that while powerful, Metahuman is an evolving ecosystem that has significant limitations and challenges.
The guides below form a workflow for going from a blank project to having a Metahuman with face and body animation and explore the capabilities and challenges of the Metahuman ecosystem.
