![]() ![]() Unreal Engine 4 has been a free development tool since 2015. Additionally, “animations created for one MetaHuman will run on other MetaHumans, enabling users to easily reuse a single performance across multiple Unreal Engine characters or projects.”Įpic says MetaHuman Creator will become available to developers in an early access trial over the next few months, with a fuller launch coming later. MetaHuman Creator builds a character model that is “fully rigged and ready for animation and motion capture in Unreal Engine,” Epic Games says. ![]() MetaHuman Creator is a tool for developers, not players, but it’s possible we’ll see this tool’s capabilities filter down to a user’s character-creation stage later on. Role-playing game fans and sports video game career-mode enthusiasts know how difficult it is to construct a believable avatar, even if they’re using their own face from cloud-based applications, like EA Sports’ GameFace or NBA 2K’s face scanning feature. “Users can choose a starting point by selecting a number of preset faces to contribute to their human from the range of samples available in the database.” ![]() “As adjustments are made, MetaHuman Creator blends between actual examples in the library in a plausible, data-constrained way,” Epic Games says in its announcement. The video above shows the process at work. Epic says the character-creation process, which seasoned animators and illustrators spend days or weeks getting right, can be reduced “to less than an hour” using MetaHuman Creator’s browser-based application. “One of the most arduous tasks in 3D content creation has been constructing truly convincing digital humans,” Vladimir Mastlovic, Epic’s vice president for Digital Humans Technology, said in a statement. Ping u/ambient_tofu - otherwise there will be no notification on this.Īs for weight painting - it's called "Proxy Fitting" I guess it does the same.Epic Games, makers of the Unreal Engine that has powered two decades’ worth of triple-A video games, on Wednesday announced another leading-edge development tool: MetaHuman Creator, an application that can create distinctive and lifelike human characters for video games in a fraction of the time it currently takes. ![]() assets (and each meaningful asset bundle) can have different license from the project, but still have to be handled according to that license). In such cases, the license on the artwork/audio would dictate the terms under which video/streaming may occur." (i.e. Keep in mind that some programs, particularly video games, can have artwork/audio that is licensed separately from the underlying GPLed game. See also and a bit more vague but more official: " If the art/music is under the GPL, then the GPL applies when you copy it no matter how you copy it. It shouldn't affect me, I'm writing Free and Open Source games.īut indeed may impose limitations on a commercial game (no, it won't shouldn't affect the whole project, but may affect the asset database). The AGPL can be an obstacle in case someone wants to create a closed source game or closed source 3D models using 3D characters made with MB-Lab because the AGPL will propagate from the base models and from the database to the output models. ![]()
