Live Link Face for effortless facial animation in Unreal Engine-capture performances for use in Unreal Engine from your iPhone or iPad. Capture facial performances for MetaHuman Animator: - Live Link Face supports both real-time and processed animation. - MetaHuman Animator uses Live Link Face to capture performances, then applies its own processing to create high-fidelity facial animation for MetaHumans. - The Live Link Face app captures raw video and depth data, which can be transmitted directly from your device into Unreal Engine for use with the MetaHuman plugin. - Facial animation created with MetaHuman Animator can be applied to any MetaHuman character in just a few clicks. - This workflow requires an iPhone (12 or above) and a desktop PC running Windows 10/11. Real-time animation for MetaHumans: - The Live Link Face app generates animation to drive a MetaHuman Character in real time. - Animation data is streamed to Unreal Engine over a network using the MetaHuman Live Link Plugin. - This workflow requires an iPhone (12 or above) and a desktop PC running Windows 10/11. Real-time animation for non-MetaHuman characters: - Stream out ARKit animation data live to an Unreal Engine instance via Live Link over a network. - Visualize facial expressions in real time with live rendering in Unreal Engine. - Drive a 3D preview mesh, optionally overlaid over the video reference on the phone. - Record the raw ARKit animation data and front-facing video reference footage. - Tune the capture data to the individual performer and improve facial animation quality with rest pose calibration. Timecode support for multi-device synchronization: - Select from the system clock, an NTP server, or use a Tentacle Sync device to connect with a master clock on stage. - Video reference is frame accurate with embedded timecode for editorial. Control Live Link Face remotely with OSC or via the MetaHuman Plugin for Unreal Engine: - Trigger recording remotely so actors can focus on their performances. - Capture slate names and take numbers consistently. - Extract data for processing and storage. Browse and manage the library of captured takes: - Delete takes within Live Link Face, share via AirDrop. - Transfer directly over network when using MetaHuman Animator. - Review captured footage on-device.
