Finally a studio who can make good anthro characters, i love these Foxes! they looking great!
agreed. love it too! :D now i cant stop imagining my charecter in UE5
That white one's eyes are skeezy, though. Much too small and paper-looking. The orange one looked much better, though.
The thing is conveying emotion out of them. Harder when the natural model isn't very expressive.
Where do you think this technology will make the most money, under capitalism :? In the porn industry, of course! It's just that everyone is embarrassed to talk about it LOL
They remind of the original Fox McCloud puppet, a bit less uncanny valley although they should be after 32 years.
I’m just sitting here waiting for a Star Fox movie to be made using this Unreal Engine 5.
🤣😂 that would be awesome ❤🦊🏴☠
@@Dwarfanimation It would be very awesome
YES. YEEEES. AAAAAH.
@@stray5268 @NintendoAmerica people are asking for it ❤😹
Have you seen A Fox in Space yet? Its a 2 episode fan made animation and its fantastic.
They done their market research well and seem to know their audience.
It's very likely that a few of those individuals are also inside the production team for this.
It is because those kind of characters have way more expressive facial animations, so they can show capabilities of this software better with characters like this.
i was just thinking that...
@@cloudshifter What do you mean?
@@BelisaireEarl Rule of product creation:
Always make a product based on what you like, not what other people may like.
It's safe to assume that this was made directly for the target audience by the target audience.
This is WAY less uncanny than most attempts I’ve seen. The talking is slightly odd looking, but overall this is pretty much on point.
Biggest complaint I have is the tongue doesn't seem to move, but it's still very impressive
@@baltosstrupelos302 No, the biggest problem is - eyes. They are almost static, to make a creature more "alive" you need to add inconsistency in eyes movement
@@baltosstrupelos302 For me it was the ears. They seem like they didn't have any animation to then so they're just static, where as one would normally use ears as a major source of expression on an furry model.
Granted, this isn't something you can really do with a face rig that's using a human model, but some kind of key or peripheral to control ears and other animal parts like the vtubers do it would go a long way to bringing expression to the animal faces.
@@Snow-Willow I've seen lots of models that have the ears react to face movements such as smiling making the ears perk up, yelling or just looking angry having the ears move back. It will not be perfect, but war movement using face tracking does work.
th-cam.com/users/shortsrZLAmKuvO2w?si=lNVNULTgB6dcjcHC
This guys model has a lot of of ear movement that relate to facial expressions.
I think the only thing uncanny about this designs are the eyes. The eyes look too human, idk if its me but maybe with bigger eyes would work better.
Finally some metahumans without human
it was the main challenge :)
yeaaah!!
@kholod_deda Oh, cry me a river. If you want furries to go away, you're in for a huge disappointment, cause we aren't.
For context their bio is "Death of furries and fujoshi" at the time of writing. My comment is more about that than even the comment itself, so you don't need to tell me "its a joke". Its obvious the intent they had behind their comment.
@@ZeRallyCattoI… i think that might’ve been a joke…
@@ZeRallyCattokinda bit deeply attacking
Next level furries ♥
My god..., they're evolving.
@@amanawolf9166 The pathowogen is unescapable. Do not resist.
@@amanawolf9166 😱NOooo.
I thought human gender expression was at its limit of evolution.
Ur pfp is giving me nostalgia
@@NPC-bs3pmYou undwerestimate our pOwOer.
Immediately, what stands out is how good the fur is and how it reacts to the movement. I'm honestly excited to see what comes next, because the effort here is astounding. Props to everyone who worked on this.
to me, its the way the mouth moves. like the mouth moves correctly with the words.
You *know* what comes next.
@@thefunnyanimalsshow Yeah yeah, degeneracy sure. I'm more interested in the non degenerate stuff this'll be used for. So many possibilities.
what everyone wished their furry avatars looked like in vrchat 👀
Yes, but also no.
Part of the issue is due to worlds being either toony or a game rip. As a result, a realistic avatar would be out of place.
Granted... furries in Second Life somewhat solved this issue, and have a better balance in appearances not clashing with atmosphere.
@@FlameSoulis Welp, then we have to create better worlds that fit the new avatars
@@fautex47The problem isn't really the worlds. Rather, you need an avatar that matches an in between style (like a painting) or have multiple avatars depending on the area.
Think of it like Kingdom Hearts: whenever A Nightmare Before Christmas is visited, Sora's outfit changes to match the area due to the heavily different aesthetics. Or if you are much older, Reboot's handling of matching areas: you basically want a version of yourself that matches the area.
This is a thing I explored back when VRChat was still in its infancy when I worked for a competitor, as it really did bring up some interesting topics about how to keep a world inviting for the heavy mixture of avatars. In the end, to each their own.
Sorta. Helios was a VRchat alternative that used Unreal5 but it never gained traction. If furries really wanted this, they would have backed it better.
Honestly I feel this is a yes and a no. Some furries very much still prefer the more cartoony expressive like styles of anthro models over the more realistic looking ones. I mean both are cool and impressive in their own right and I do like the variety it offers.
The foxes shown here gives me a sorta “Ready Player One” vibe to it if that makes sense.
I'd warn UE dev that they gave the the furries too much power, but I'm pretty sure this was their plan all along.
This is a marvelous demo of standardized tools enabling artistry and innovation, great job!
The furries probably helped make it given the amount of them that are in the tech industry.
makes ya wonder what an UE VR chat space like VRChat would be like, probably barren in players, but amazing nonetheless
Carnal Instinct just got a lot moah sexy >8]
@@picklewart5382 AYO! Someone's a person of culture here.
@@NoxVernayou'd probably appreciate Resonite, then.
E621 will have a field trip with this.
LMAO I was thinking the same thing
They already have e6ai. 😁
I hate the fackt you are 100% right🤣
"Ready for action"
If you know what I mean ;)
@@TheEvilFoxy giggity
For real time capture, the fur on them looks AMAZING.
We seriously need some good 3d vtuber sotware like that.
Ready Player One Oasis doesn't seems to be that far of being reality
@@OldHatteyHeroWhiteFoxit really isnt. we'll get there in less than 10 years. we have vrchat, which only just got updated to a 2022 version of unity a few months ago. i think resonite uses a super insanely modified version of unity, but i think frooxius, the creator of resonite and neosvr, has been thinking about switching it to unreal. the only reason why unity is popular with vr is because they had vr support first, but ive heard unreal is getting better with their own vr support and is apparently a lot more stable
@@OldHatteyHeroWhiteFoxI know a vtuber that had an extra realistic vtuber model but rarely used it because it was uncanny.
@@Zack_Wildfire who?
@@OldHatteyHeroWhiteFoxWell if I could afford all of this then yeah
Im not usually one to fawn over graphics, but holy shit these are some of the greatest looking realistically styled anthro character models I've ever seen. Idk if this is a marketplace asset or just a showcase, but it's so awesome
ha, "fawn"
Also, "This summer... Zootopia 3, the 3D interactive movie built in UE VR in your home teather! Feel the fur..."
Why not zootopia 2?
I see what you're getting at, but aren't interactive movies basically videogames
This made me so uncomfortable
too many people would feel less fur than intended way too quickly 💀
🖕🏻 Disney, they won't do it! 😂
The new star fox movie looking great.
Do a barrel roll
By far the best looking/animated real time anthro characters I have seen. Cant wait to see what comes of it!
anthro means human. therio is the word you're looking for. they're theriomorphic (animal form)
@.eiriksson8553 Trust me man, furries have been around long enough that anthro is a well established word to use for human-like animals such as this lol.
@@G7ue or really anything bearing human traits.
I guess it depends on whether you think of such characters as human-like animals or animal-like humans. “Anthropomorphic” is the colloquial catch-all term, but “theriomorphic” could be the technically correct one depending on the characters and/or setting in question.
@@gujono.eiriksson8553 It's short for "Anthropomorphic" is why it works.
Furries: "it's all coming together."
This style of Furry I don't think would be so bad
oh it sure will be coming
Was just about to say that, shut up and take my money!
Ofcourse the furries would come in as UE5 wizards 🤦
not the furry wizards 😭
EXCUUUUSE ME?!
THIS IS INSANE
Insane?
THIS...
IS...
FURRY!!
Next level Furry 😮
they know their market well.
Damn the fluffy pets are so soft
this is actually amazing!
And no AI use at all
Except for the description 💀
@@yap9877 AI isnt mentioned in the description though ?
@@vileluca The description has a very ChatGPT-ish vibe. Hard to say how except just that it makes certain word choices. It's especially fond of "delve".
The pathowogen is unescapable. Do not resist.
I stopped resisting in like 2018
Lol
Dang man, I must be immune
It's better to die on your feet, than to live on all fours.
Brother! We must cleanse this heathen world in the fires of exterminatus! For the Emperor of Mankind!
0:55 "THIS" with the eyebrow raise is just so good ughhhhh. I love this so much
Since realistic anthro characters are rare I'm assuming it's difficult to make them plausible. Glad to see the direction you're having.
Not only the fact it's generally hard to make anything realistic, but antho characters in particular are hard to make look right in a realistic style, so this is incredibly difficult to pull off.
Huge props to the UE team.
@@syrup5940 it's pretty ironic the current worgen model is more realistic in the face area than most other attempts I've seen. It has facial muscles and it looks expressive which everyone else seem to fail at.
@@zadeify9596 the only other good looking realistic anthro model I've seen is rocket raccoon from guardians of the galaxy, which this looks quite similar to
@@syrup5940 Rocket still looks like a feral raccoon walking on two legs imo. Anthropomorphic means more than just how they walk, you should be able to read their thoughts etc like you do with humans.
@@zadeify9596 yeah I get that, but I'd argue he was pretty expressive, especially in the third movie
A fox is a gorgeous choice for such a showoff. Foxes are the best. I just worked my ass off creating one of my own for an upcoming show. Everything custom, but since I go with NPR rendering and animation, I need to do all by hand. =D
yo this is sick! I LOVE IT! Reminds me of Star Fox
You guys absolutely NAAAILED it. Cant wait to see these guys with custom animation.
I fooled around with a DIY HMC to attach an iphone and tried Metahuman Animation on it. It is funny. We might post it :p
@@francoist2142 Have you looked into the Rokoko HMC? Its the best one under $300 by a long shot, I love it
This is the best meta-mutation I have seen. I would love to see where you go with your capabilities!
Thank you very much 🙏We are still exploring it 😅
Damn, Fantastic Mr Fox Remake is looking great.
The more furrified the world is, the better it is imo
Opinion: rejected
Shotgun: loaded
Лучшие лисы с лучшей анимацией морды, что я видел
I love it..!!!! what a charming fox.🦊
Would you watch a show with them in it ?
@@Dwarfanimation hell yeah!
what does a fox say?
@@Dwarfanimation I would absolutely do that? Now give it to me!
@@Dwarfanimationabsolutely! I would so be on board towards watching a full on show with those two adorable and frankly awesome looking characters, I’ve already watched so many of you guys productions from monsters at work, my dad the bounty hunter/mom, to trash truck which is such a sweet show for young ones and is easily something a adult can also watch, to even the miraculous ladybug movie that I so desperately fell in love with when I first saw the first few teasers of the movie way back when and won’t deny the fact that the wait was well worth it in the end, in short though I’d love to see a show with two Fox anthropomorphic characters you guys make such hits after hits I’m sure it’ll be amazing if you do😅🤩😍😎
DUDE THIS IS AMAZING this looks so good like an actually good realistic anthro model... i wish i could have this of my character lmao
As a furry... Yeah I don't even gotta say it.
Imagine if VR Chat had this level of detail lol
This is crazy impressive!
Would absolutely want a show around these two characters!

Very very great talking animations. And the foxe modells are excellent
Finally a studio who can make good anthro characters, these Foxes look great! they are looking so good!
dang. starfox movie is coming soon with these
THIS IS SO COOL!!! I can't wait for more! Damn, these characters look so good! The detalization and the face rig is UNREAL. (no pun intended)
THE LIGHT THROUGH THE EARS! THAT'S SO DAMN DOPE! Holy SHITE!
Would love to see these models in a small animation! fur is so on point its actually insane. It would look sick with a little bit of fancy lighting seeping through the fur. Keep up the good work!
READY PLAYER ONE IS CLOSER THAN I EXPECTED! YESSS!
Wow, I have been meaning to get back into unreal. I didn't know it was capable of this. The fox design actually harkens to designs of characters I've wanted to make "real" for a long time. I'm want to look into how you did this and maybe get off my lazy ass and actually make my characters finally. Honestly, your version of the demo is hell of a lot more compelling than what unreal actually came up with. Yes I get that making ultra realistic humans that are believable is a huge achievement. But honestly, this shows you can do much much more when not limited by simply being human.
You won't be able too. You specifically.
as a furry... mad respect for creating an amazing anthro character.
Tutorial please 🙌💯🙏
Thank you very much ! The tool Metapipe has some very nice tutorial to do this kind of stuff ;)
@@Dwarfanimation Cool...i definitely have to check it out. Thanks for mentioning. 💯
❤
Favorite animal looking FANTASTIC in animation! Those foxes look amazing and practically realistic!
I like how the furry versions come across as much more realistic than... literal humans lol
Great work, love the proper anthros. One flaw: they're short one finger. Biologically, the four toes on a forepaw become the distal phalanges (fingers) while the dewclaw becomes the proximal phalange (thumb), if we're talking accurate evolutionary anatomy. And the hand wouldn't be bare skin with talons; it'd be furred with short, doglike nails and a pad on the pad of each fingertip and across the top of the palm. Feet would logically be human-shaped, four-toed, and follow the same pattern as the hand regarding pad placement (in case you even need that context).
Hope this helps.
Dude imagine if this is in vrchat
Huh no nope, its engine real 5.
@@roninsharkey5140 yeah, that's why I said "imagine"
In the FAR FUTURE humanity's have ascended to a new level digital development we Have entered to a NEW DAWN of Unreal Engine! Thank you Unreal Engine for giving us this new feature i've been looking to use in the future!

Absolutely beautiful…just wow
Furries rejoice!
Well I know where imma be seeing these animations. 💀
It's looks just incredible. Quit detailed models with realistic jaw muscles movement. I have a great hope in this project.
So cool. I got major Rocket Raccoon vibes
A-ah! He's not a raccoon :p
@@LegendaryTunes I know 😊. I just got those vibes
So cute! Is like a Star Fox movie😊
metahumans? nah we goin' META-ANTHROS NOW
Seeing as anthro- basically means human/human-like, we already are. 😏
Metafurries
I'm embarrassed to admit that I cannot immediately tell if this is an actual showcase of a real-time rig, or if it's just a spoof animation by some very talented artists.
Изумительные лисички! Очень хорошо выглядит, ребят. Есть ощущение, что у антропоморфных моделей недостаточно выразительная мимика в сопоставлении с человеческой, может, из-за шерсти, или мимика глаз суховата. И не смог рассмотреть артикуляцию языка. Но даже со всеми моими придирками, это отлично, и придирки исключительно из высокой заинтересованности. Надеюсь увидеть с ними короткий анимационный сюжет.
0:30 Red fox is so cute. but his eyes looks weird
nah that's not MetaHuman that's MetaFurry
props though!
Was super cool to work with you guys! Great result!
bro furries are gonna love this
Yes.
Aw man, this is awesome. Hope we can see more of this in the future.
Woooow! That level of detail is mindblowing! I wonder if it's possible to use something like this for even more detailed Vtubing, and if mocap gear is necessary or the reference points/rigging would be able to translate to camera capture.
It could be used for vtubing, but you would need to do a few optimization. As those are Metahumans, they do have the same rig which is compatible with LiveLink Face and Metahuman Animation but also Arkit. We will show that soon I guess
Ready player One might be a fantasy, but it is quickly becoming reality. . .
Better than AI
what more can one say other than WOW!
Furries: "Allow us to introduce ourselves"
Oh this looks amazing!! Lots of live mocap has that glitchy unhinged type of movement but these guys are so smooth, it's lovely!!
Next Gen Furry update just dropped.
These Models are incredible
Late to the party but very excited with these results - good job to everyone involved! Can't wait to watch and learn what's next.
Wow these Starfox graphics look great
Animated that tongue and you'll supercede them.
Bruh
Is this real? Or a tease? Because my goodness as an artist I am BLOWN AWAY!
Well.. to be fair, i think its safe to say everyone here is blown away...
ok... i have no idea if ur trolling or not, but how the hell u got that fur to look like that in UE5!!????
i need a tutorial like... yesterday!! pls, there are 0 resources on this. The movement is so smoooooooth. Super congrats :)))))
dude... where the link or the hood!!? :((((
this is too good
Not fake. We made our custom hair shader, but the metahuman’s shader looks good too
Me in the early 2000s: They are never going to be able to make Square Enix cutscenes into actual gameplay graphics. Just preloaded scenes.
2025: Hold my Unreal Engine
Very nice! Keep it up!
Thanks a lot!
Damn, the new season of "The Creature Cases" is already lookin' pretty good...
Pretty great editing of the tracking points, but even stellar design of those characters!
Tracking points?
this guy has no idea what hes talking about
@@swinny_Something tells me you don't either
Uh oh, I can just imagine the type of stuff that will be made with this ... u know what they say, not even the speed of light can catch up to rule 34 artists
eventhough the hair & fur is now strand based, the final feel still feels like hair cards! Is it coz of the shader limitations?
It is just about the thickness. As most of the shots were far away, we made it a bit thick to avoid having too many of them. We should have made LODs for a closer shot and thats probably what we will do in the future.
That being said yes it is strands, but not tubes. You can fake the tube aspect with a normal map, but we had issues with it on the last rendering, so we turned it off. Thats something we will improve in the future as well.
Cheers
Also, we did render those shots with a quadro rtx 4000 with 8gb vram. It’s too limited to have more hairs, thats the reason why we made them thicker ;)
@@francoist2142 wonderful work.. now I am curious, in which model program did you create the hair splines ?
@@lukarisisgaming For Snow and Chase the grooming was done in Houdini.
Technology is advancing.
😮 woou! Thanks for this stuff 🙏🏻 you absolutely brilliant! What tool do you use?) (I am a student, wanna to learn it)
yep! me toooooo!!!!)))
The application of these in fantasy settings can be so surreal!
This is awesome 🎉
Fox! Do a barrel roll!
This is so cool. Custom fox characters? Or are they available somewhere
thanks ! Custom fox ;)
Finally, some good frikn content
So a metahuman skeleton/rig linked to your snow & chase mesh on the Metahuman project in UE5? i did the same with my wife's metahuman i did for her, did you know you can replace the livelink audio sample to another custom in the same format and the livelink animation will translate it also ? :D
Yes we did wrapped a metahuman mesh onto our character and worked on each blendshapes. Then we replaced Ada and Taro in that Metahuman Sample scene. Now those characters can received any animation compatible with Metahuman, but also motion capture, keyframe animation and also the LiveLink Face and Metahuman Animation. That's pretty exciting ! We will share more stuff about it soon ;)
What do you mean by livelink audio, I am not sure to understand 🧐
YES PLEASE THANK YOU
@@Dwarfanimation
This is insane. I can’t wait to see what people come up with and use this for.
Wow...this must have so many more views. Amazing. Is this a service or available for download or to learn anywhere?
Thank you so much ! This was an internal test we did to see how far we could push Metahuman's rig and deformation system. We believe we can do even more and are already working on it. This is just the first step ;)
Even tho dmmo full dive is some years away,but could this tech on ue5.5 games be a thing?I love to see this on borderlands games,cyberpunk 2077 2,dead space games,gears of war games,Prince of Persia games,Spider-Man games,jrpg
pg, action shooter\looter games ect??!
Also did ya know there was a kickstarter campaign,called zero codings?if just got fully funded awhile ago an only if ya applied ya only had to be on the higher tier awards an not have to pay at all,an ya can created own app live services an create games with gpt5 ect,ya can still apply but it would cost ya a little bit to start the application app services ect
@@megagreatgodlywhiteshark2929 I am not a games guy, so my curiosity was for using this in film making.
