Unreal Engine

Check out my good friend Ashim Shakya’s creation. Realtime assets rendered in UE4 with an impressive background music! The real-time assets, ruins, godly apocalyptic vibe and the music blended very well!!

Welcome to Unreal Engine 5 Early Access

Welcome to Unreal Engine 5 Early Access from Unreal Engine on Vimeo.

Level up with the next iteration of Unreal Engine to unleash photorealism! This is a game changer!! Get an early access to this incredible engine here.

Check out this video by Eyad Hussein which he built entirely in less than 3 hours!

Say good bye to Level of Detail (LOD) and light baking!! I am also digging the control rig build inside of the engine!! Let me see what I can cook with this new engine, can’t wait to check it out!!!

Next-Gen Digital Human Performance by Andy Serkis

It’s what they are calling volumetric capture, reconstruction and compression technology… in-other words a fancy term for state of the art facial 3D scan and motion capture integration algorithm. Digital humans have now crossed the uncanny valley and future looks promising with all the new hardware and tool-set. Lot of the credit goes to developers and artist behind the scene! Learn more here.

Vicon Siren first look at GDC 2018.

Digital Humans: Crossing the Uncanny Valley in Unreal Engine 4 – GDC 2016

Take your time and go through this video! Some clever techniques here for ‪#‎mocap‬ facial animation. Looks like it’s time to stick my gopro on a head mount to do some perfomance capture and cross the uncanny valley (hehe)… As for the rig here since it is optimised and needs to be driven real-time in UE4, is fairly based on blendshapes and joints. The details come from the wrinkle maps and shading networks. I like the idea how they are using stereo camera to capture the facial performance in pseudo 3D, this helps in realistic facial animation! And yeah the blood flow gives added realism, but looks like they missed the skin pores and dynamics!

Bottom line is 3D facial scans (Blendshapes based on FACS + Multiple combination shapes) + Stereo facial performance capture + Texture Analysis + Dynamic Facial Shading + Realtime Rig Logic system to sync between Maya and UE4 …
