Metahumans are getting TOO REALISTIC in Unreal Engine 5.4

[Music] I'm glad you're here the crew's been waiting for you and we're ready to help you build what's next come on let's go that's right pedy humans are now available for import into ufn as non-player [Music] characters so Michael's jumped us back into the editor so we can get a look at our captain behind the scenes as you can see we carefully optimized for both quality and efficiency we've gone from almost one gig for a hero metahuman down to approximately 60 Megs in ufn with an average complexity hairstyle and we wanted to make this process as easy as possible you just save your custom metahumans and the metahuman Creator this Captain character was based on the r metahuman preset once you have your Creations saved in my metahumans they'll be available to you in our new metahuman importer in ufn and depending on your Project's requirements there are also multiple quality options for you to choose from now we can't talk about medah humans without also addressing the workflow creators use for creating costumes there are many ways to author clothing but in this case we're using Marvelous Designer a leading digital clothing software in fact we worked with our friends at CL the makers of Marvelous Designer and clo 3D to integrate our metahuman body data into their software and provide a new USD export option for your garments that export includes geometry materials and the data you need for simulation setup now on screen you're seeing the Garment that was exported from Marvelous Designer being brought into the cloth panel editor in UE 5.4 and from there we're setting up custom chaos simulations that have realistic Cinema quality looks as part of this Tech in the upcoming UE 5.4 we're introducing an auto Sim setup that has Sim data and injust Auto LOD generation and auto skinning in addition you always have the option to take a more bespoke approach like we have here if you want more iterations in finer control okay cloth physics are available in ufn as Early Access starting today and now we'd like to show you how easy it is to dress them at a human character Michael's going to demonstrate this for us live in the ufn editor all right take it away Michael thanks Pat so the first thing we're going to do is hide the default outfit that came in from metahuman Creator next we'll add a new uh chaos cloth component this allows us a place to drop our new Dynamic uh cloth object this was actually created in designer set up in UE 5.4 and imported here into ufn now that we have that let's uh add a new animation so we can see how the cloth moves then we come down to the cloth turn on simulate and just like that we have moving cloth here inside ufn all right cool so from there are metahumans ready to be used in the game and we're really excited to offer cloth physics and UFM for the first time it's so important for creating convincing characters and you're not limited to clothing on characters you can use cloth physics anywhere in your environment at last year's state of unreal you saw the power of metahuman animator in uee and we pleased to say that those same tools are now available to creators in ufn and don't forget using our latest character device you can also add a performance to some of your favorite fortnite characters you might have seen this in the recent joke night experience produced by Trevor Noah for getting captur data into UF we recommend using our new live link Hub application this allows almost all capture devices that can stream to u5 to also stream directly into ufn and get recorded there even more third-party devices will be supported in live link Hub soon now an essential part of any character's Persona particularly a Marvel hero is their look and it could be really distracting if the outfit doesn't look as realistic and believable as the rest of the world you can see caps leather uniform fits just like you would expect in real life with all all the correct material properties and the complexity of creases forming as he moves from a technical perspective this is where we can effectively utilize machine learning we can set up and run complex simulations in a package like Houdini and import that data into uee we then use this to train an ml model producing film quality defamations that run in real time but none of this matters without great facial performances so let's bring AI to ch's grandfather and our black panther into this scene this time with his mask off but I know who you are Captain America's hero dancing around in red white and blue underwear that Shield that you hide behind does not belong to you you are Unworthy of it all right and as he pauses here Roman why don't you go in really close and really show everybody the detail that we have in these models um it's it's insane right like amazing uh it's essential for us to retain every Nuance of the outshining performance that our actor Ki Payton brought to ai's character what you just saw there were untouched metahuman animator soles MH so working with the metahuman process we've been able to honor our amazing actress performances and Faithfully transformed them into equally powerful digital performances now of course it all starts with the actor talent and we're fortunate to have two of our casts with us in the audience today so I'd like to introduce Drew morline who plays Captain America y Prett cool yeah Y and uh and K Payton our black panther see they hug they're friends they're not really fighting it's all good um and of course I want to take this opportunity to thank them and the rest of our wonderful cash for going on this incredibly crazy Journey with us uh and now as a special treat uh let's take a look at the entire Bridge scene that you saw earlier but this time we'll keep ai's mask off to really showcase what we can do when all this incredible talent and all these amazing features come together but remember this is running entirely in real time awesome that's far enough I'm here on the business of the United States government your is not the only business here stay out of my way stand aside I do not take orders from anyone turn around boy go home look pal I don't know who you are but I know who you are Captain America's hero dancing around in red white and blue underwear says is the man dressed like an overgrown house cat that Shield that you hide behind does not belong to you you are Unworthy of it I don't have time for this neither do I okay okay and action I need performance capture to work like a mirror I needed to capture whether I'm acting scared or angry and sometimes all I need is a look Cut thanks Mel that was great yeah you're welcome okay our technician John is currently pulling Mel's performance from the phone onto his machine where everything will be processed locally we have updated our live link face mobile app to capture all data at the best resolution possible with a device medicum animator uses video and depth data to convert um uh this data into High Fidelity performance animation and it can even use audio to produce convincing tongue animation John is currently scrubbing through the take to pick the section that he wants to process John are we all good with the data awesome so from now on it's just a single button click to kick off the processing which for a performance of this length will take less than a minute to convert into animation so Mel well that is processing let me show you something else yeah oh is that me yeah this is what we refer to as your metahuman DNA cool and this is generated by the capture we made earlier right yeah that's right so from only three frames of video and DEP data we can generate a rig that predicts all of your facial expressions in just a couple of minutes wow and do you only need to do this once for each actor yes that's right it calibrates the solver to your face so that we can produce the performance in in a in a way that faithful reproduces your original performance that sounds cool yeah so let's check back on the on the processing which today is on the latest CPU and GPU Hardware from AMD metum animator uses a custom epic facial solver and landmark detector we can interactively look at the animation while it's being solved and compare it to your original performance so it looks like it just it's almost finished after this he's going to do one more pass to make the curves more stable really quick and from here on we can we just need to export the animation this takes only a few seconds and then John needs to drop it in the level and add the audio so that we can see the result so Mel meta human should now be ready in the level well you excited to see the results yeah can't wait to see it I need performance capture to work like a mirror I need it to capture whether I'm acting scared or angry and sometimes all I need is a look [Applause] thank you so Mel what do you think I think it's incredible because it usually takes months between performance capture and getting any results back so this is blowing my mind and all of this is solved directly onto animat your friendly controls in this case we are using a bespoke 4D rig which we created created together with nja theory for hellblade 2 but it's also ready to use on any metahuman or any other rig that follows our new metah human standard let's have a look at that I need performance capture to work like a mirror I need it to capture whether I'm acting scared or angry and sometimes all I need is a look so the SC take works even on stylist characters sign perf cut take 13 I see through your Darkness now I see three your lies I will show them how to see as I do I will not appease your Gods I will destroy them cut good you like it the hungry purple dinosaur ate the kind zingy Fox the jabbering crab and the Mad whale and started vending and quacking the hungry purple dinosaur the kind zingy Fox the jabbering crab and the Mad whale and started vending and cracking they hungry purple dinosaurs at a kind sing Fox the Jing crap and the M whale and started wending and [Music] cracking [Music] w nah [Music] nah [Music] [Music] n [Music] [Music] a [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] n [Music] n [Music] [Music] a [Music] [Applause] [Music] a [Music] n [Music] n [Music] [Music] n [Music] you [Music] [Applause] [Music] m [Music] [Music] I [Music] m [Music] welcome to drw bridge Sam and to the ghv mellin our mobile base of operations come on I'll help you get your bearings this is the ship's Armory here you can check Che your weapons and put them through their Paces these rooms over here belong to other members of the crew they're pretty much the same as yours and the showers down at the end this is one hell of a ship you got here courtesy of the UCA I'm guessing no as I told you draw bridge as a civilian outfit but we do have a generous Patron with access to plenty of capital and TCH sounds like a UCA Big Shot don't ask me we've never met face to face they value their privacy seriously you know better than to believe that [Music] [ __ ] it's the same deal as America the people here are all spread out cut off from one another we want you to help us bring the world together Sam would you mind if I join you humor him his knowledge and experience will probably come in handy down the road yes really Sam robotics what about shotgun I prefer the driver's seat Sam do you read me you'll first need to access the Mexico side plate gate terminal after we've been from network coverage we can take the dhp mellin and regroup your position the problem is not everybody wants to be part of the UCA that's not the plan Sam the UCA isn't looking to expand its borders just like with Mexico they want to bring new regions into the network anyway the dhv melan's here to back you up as always you'll be the one leading the way to expend the network what's your role in all this you're the commander huh that's right these days I'm fragile in name [Music] only you brought America together how it be reborn as the UCA but I'm afraid death stranding is far from over humanity is still in danger still on the brink of Extinction don't act like you don't see it a lot of things changed after you went off from your own especially within the UCA bridge is no longer overseas the distribution Network that withdrew once things were up and running so your friends and co-workers all went their separate ways within network coverage there's no need to rely on human Porters anymore so after I closed up shop I went and started a new group one that handles work in regions outside the UCA we decided to call ourselves drawbridge with the support of the kyal network and apass Humanity will be free from the need to move around BS are capable of handling deliveries he's alive he called himself a ghost but we found a way back from the beach just so he could kill us he said he came back to get revenge on you and me hey brother you miss me yeah I figured you'd pay this place a visit seeing as how I've been Distributing the fruits of this fine Factory all over the continent in guns and violence the whole damn world could be yours same as it ever was oh looks like you decided to trade in that rope for a stick this go around but I suppose even a porter has to pull the trigger from time to time oh what about you hey buddy are you just another soulless little husk huh let go of me pathetic guitarist where's the rest of your band uh uh uh uh [Music] well ain't that something was it you higs huh was it you that killed Lou you still don't know do you [Music] [ __ ] come on come [Music] on something he said you don't know a goddamn thing about Lou all right Sam let's see what we can find on L if you want answers you're going to have to find them yourself but the ones you do find that pain you nurse will only get worse Sam the man in the dark about [Music] everything don't forget coming on this expedition was meant to help you find the strength to carry on and you have we all know you've got this now it's time to finish the journey Sam please understand [Music] Sam we never the men to string you along that Chrysalis we found her inside it was filled with a fluid that contained amino acids one's identical in structure to the kind found in tar I'm sorry there are amino acids in tar as in proteins of course how else did you think that caral creatures could emerge from it some have even theorized that the tower is a sort of primordial soup I was there I saw her home it was a hell hole you see after you left Bridges I decided to do a little digging now according to them bb28 was flagged for disposal and subsequently incinerated four years ago long before you and Lou first [Music] met aah
