Ever wanted to put yourself inside a video game? In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the complete pipeline for creating a photorealistic 3D avatar of yourself. Using your smartphone, RealityCapture, and Unreal Engine 5, you will scan your own face, generate a custom MetaHuman, and bring it to life in real-time using live facial tracking.
What you will learn:
-
Photogrammetry Basics: How to shoot smartphone video to capture 3D scan data.
-
RealityCapture: Processing your video into a detailed 3D mesh and texture map.
-
MetaHuman: Importing your scan into Unreal Engine 5 and rig your custom face geometry.
-
Live Link Animation: Connecting iPhone to Unreal Engine to stream your real facial performance directly onto your avatar.
There are only a limited number of Windows desktops in our studio that you may use. If you plan on bringing your own laptop, please check this list to prepare.
