Enzo: Real-Time Filmmaking in UE5 with Mesh to Meta Plugin | Behind the Scenes | Introduction

Link to our short film Enzo: • Enzo: Vitruvian Metahu...
An introduction to the in-depth behind the scenes of how ‪@tomisackmann‬ and I brought Enzo to life and created a short film in ‪@UnrealEngine‬ 5.
Thanks to the revolutionary Mesh to Meta plugin created by ‪@3lateral4‬ and the Metahuman Team at ‪@EpicGamesStore‬, released in June 2022, a team of two artists were able to create this short film in a matter of weeks.
The video playlist will be broken up into sections and we will be sharing useful tips and techniques we discovered along our journey.
If you would like to see where Enzo originated from, be sure to check out Tomas Sackman's ‪@cgcircuitLLC‬ Course: www.cgcircuit....

I subscribed ❤😊

[@PixelBokeh]

This is really exciting. Can't wait to see this. Would also love to know more about the voice work that was done. ie. It looks like you did the facial MOCAP work but then had a VO artist do the lip sync later? Did you all do a color timing pass on the edit or is the footage straight from UE? Such an amazing project and can't wait to learn more!

[@Jobutsu]

What you and Tomas created was amazing 😁
The plugin no longer works for me, it has not for a while.

[@finalatonement1844]

How does this Metahuman update compare to Character Creator 4?

[@themightyflog]

So we will be able to do the body now or we still stuck on the face with ugly jogger pants and baggy shirt?

[@mehulpangtey]

[@Zolipants]

What machine setup you need here?
