A true genius, both the plug and your process are fascinating. Well done and thank you very much. You are my hero for the coming year, that's for sure.
Wow this is perfect for those of us not wanting to purchase an iphone >> the workflow is easy to follow and the results are looking good >> great work I hope you get lot's of attention for this plugin 👌💯👀🎯😎🌟
@@OverJumpRally Thanks a lot! Hope you enjoy it ^^ By the way, I’ve surpassed iPhone performance internally 😆 I’m working on the new version, so keep eye on it, I’ll be sharing the details soon ^^
Great! I also considered doing something similar (using MiDaS to generate depth frames) but then came across your solution. Honestly, looking at the depth frames from the iPhone, I have doubts about whether these depth data actually used in any meaningful way during animation generation. I can’t quite grasp how such noisy data could help differentiate emotions. Have you tried feeding in blank, solid-color depth frames instead of the generated ones? I suspect the results might not differ much.
That's cool! I actually started with MiDaS too, but since the models aren’t trained for faces, I couldn’t get accurate depth maps. I ended up finding other models specifically trained on faces that produced much better high-quality maps. However, each frame is generated individually, which makes it incompatible with the entire sequence when using AI. And yeah, I also noticed that depth frames don’t significantly affect facial features in most cases, so I decided to stick with my current implementation. That said, there are still scenarios where they can have an impact, mainly due to camera calibration (like head distance, rotation, etc.). From my testing, it seems impossible to process the MH performance pipeline with empty or solid depth maps, it just crashes without providing any clear info. I guess the Epic team wants to keep the magic under wraps for now! 😆 Or maybe I just haven’t dug deep enough or found the right sources to investigate further.
This looks incredible well done! I discovered this video one day before going to the store and give $300 for an iPhone 12 just for its camera. Have you managed to compare it with iPhone's captures to see what the plugin is missing?
@@XanderMoss Thanks, I’m happy you liked it ^^ iPhone footage has the advantage of real depth data, which naturally should offer better performances. However, I don’t see a huge difference in overall quality. In the video, I also pointed out that the tongue isn’t being solved. This is because the generated depth maps rely on a base face mesh that currently doesn’t include inner mouth vertices. I’m actively working on improving this. Keep in mind that generating depth maps requires computational power, so if you’re working with large or lengthy videos, converting them into depth frames can take some time. But you can still use the public repository I shared to generate your own depth frames for free and experiment with them as much as you like 😊
Yes! I'll keep updating and improving the plugin as we go. Major engine updates typically bring breaking changes, but since it already supports the newly released 5.5 version, there's nothing to worry about. Can you clarify a bit more what you mean by 'you should create a plugin to bring in motions very easily'?
@ what I mean is I find that the workflow to being in animations to work with metahumans is frustrating at times. I would love if it could be like reallusion. It’s so easy to apply a motion and get to story telling.
@@weshootfilms Ah, I see, and I totally agree. Currently, the entire Metahuman animator pipeline relies on the Metahuman plugin, so I suppose we’ll need to wait for the Epic Games engineers to make any changes to the pipeline.
Yes, but currently, extracted frames are scaled to 720p during extraction to match the default calibration data for plugin processing. However, in the new version, all settings will be exposed, enabling you to specify any aspect ratio (resolution) for extraction and processing as you create custom calibration assets with the plugin 👍
@@malikgillani Initially, you’ll set your video and depth frame resolution/fps etc. before extraction, (there’s no longer a restriction for the 9-16 aspect ratio anymore!) Before creating the Footage Capture Data asset, you’ll need a Camera Calibration asset. With the plugin, you simply adjust the focal length, and it will automatically create and assign a Camera Calibration asset to your footage. From there, you can proceed with the regular MetaHuman pipeline for identity creation etc.
HiHi, I bought the plugin, but when I want to process the frames in depth, this is what I get. The process was not completed :( Please check the logs for more details. If the process ended unexpectedly midway, the already processed depth frames have been saved. Consider running the process again and remaining in the Unreal Engine editor until it completes to prevent the engine from unexpectedly terminating background tasks.
Could you try lowering the values for "Parallel Process Count" and "Batch Size"? If that doesn't resolve the issue, join the Discord channel so we can take a closer look together.
You can set the "Head Movement Mode" to "Disabled" in the MetaHuman performance asset (in the video, I set it to "Control Rig") if you prefer to avoid any head movement or shake.
Hi there, ive been working on a similar system using ai as the depth map generator. Although im not a developer so my knowledge is limited. But maybe look into either sapiens depth or depthpro by apple. Specifically the latter gives really good and accurate depth results, The way i made it work is to use mediapipe to track where the nose is and where the ears are, the user would then use a ruler or smthn to to measure the distance on their face and input and you can use that information to scale the depth map correctly, and remove the backround make it a value of 100. The depth maps are surprisingly accurate however my solution had many issues and i eventually gave up
Wow, our pipelines are really similar! Thanks for sharing these tools ^^ I also started generating depth frames with AI initially, but the issue I faced was that each frame was generated individually with ai, making it incompatible with the overall sequence. I came across some open-source AIs for training your own models to produce more reliable depth frames, but I’m still figuring out how to integrate them into the system. For now, I generate depth maps only for the face area using mediapipe with the default mesh, ensuring consistency throughout the sequence. They just rely on landmarks extracted from the video frames to generate the depth maps. (background depth value removal other calculations are the same to match with unreal's mesh generator) Additionally, I’ve implemented options for rotation, scaling, and translation if necessary, along with a preview feature before generating all the frames like what you did with the ears and scaling. Check out the repo I shared and give it a try! It might give some new ideas, and I'd be very happy if you could share some feedback ^^
Unfortunately other depth map generation methods/apps won't work! For unreal engine depth data should be written in "Y" channel and also depth values have to be between some ranges depending on the device class you choose in calibration.(iPhone 14 or later expects somewhere between 15 and 40 for the face area) also you need to double check 0 and infinite values and arrange them, But still you can edit/modify your depth maps (also make sure image/depth dimensions and your calibration matches) to match these things and it should work. I initially started with midas depth generator AI model to create some depth maps but it didn't go well so I decided to create them myself and the plugin also relies on this logic.
Friend, could you tell me how to download LOD0 in UE 5.5? In the new version, metahumans were optimized and even when downloading the cinematic version, only LOD3 and LOD5 are downloaded. This is terrible, the model's hair is square. All day I've been looking for where and how to download LOD0, I can't find anything.
I looked into the downloaded files in my case and found FaceNormal_MAIN_LOD.uasset, FaceCavity_MAIN.uasset, and FaceRoughness_MAIN_LOD.uasset. Based on the file sizes compared to other LODs, I assume these correspond to LOD0. If you've upgraded your MetaHuman, it's possible that something went wrong on the MetaHuman backend during the generation process. You might want to try regenerating it from scratch or maybe I'm missing something🤔

@@TheShinorochi If you have an iPhone, you likely don't need to generate your own depth frames, as the iPhone already comes with a depth camera. In this case, you can use MetaHuman Animator without needing my approach(unless you want to animate something that wasn’t recorded with your iPhone). Regarding your question, the plugin currently uses Unreal Engine's integrated Python to compute depth maps, which shares CPU resources with the editor, making it relatively slow since it runs continuously. However, I'm working on a proof of concept (POC) that utilizes the PyTorch plugin within Unreal Engine to offload these computations to the GPU, which should significantly speed up the process, depending on the user's selection. I hope I answered your question.
There is no limit to generating depth frames, but keep in mind that the process takes time as it handles all the frames extracted from the video. As an upcoming feature, I’ve moved the generation process out of the editor, allowing it to utilize full CPU power. This makes the process significantly faster and prevents the editor from being blocked. This improvement will be released soon in version 2025.1.7! (GPU processing is currently in the proof-of-concept stage.)

Whats the point of Metahumans? You can't easily make a custom character, yes ive seen people using some woodoo to use custom humanoids but its ridiculously complicated, and completely useless for non-humans.
I totally get where you're coming from, creating stylized characters can definitely be tricky. But on the bright side, Unreal gives you almost everything you need for human characters right out of the box. There are also tools out there that make it easier to integrate custom characters with MetaHumans. For non-human characters, yeah, MetaHumans is not the best fit I guess, but if you check Unreal's roadmap, there are cool stuff like modular rigs which makes the non-human character rigging a lot easier etc.
If you find MH complicated, don't use it. Folks like you want everything on a silver platter and don't want to work for it. What used to take weeks to do, can be achieved in few hours probably few days if you want awesome results. Epic provided a framework to start and people already doing amazing custom characters with MH skeleton. If it is too easy to use, every Jack and Jill will jump on it and tbh it will be saturated. Why are you here anyway? Go do something easy and let us enjoy the complicated technology.
@@MotuDaaduBhai all you do is create same looking boring "cinematic" characters anyway, for me it's easier to make something from scratch in Blender, or use Character Creator for humanoids, because their ecosystem supports any type pf character, not just perfect humanoids.
@@FireF1y644 And how many blendshapes Character Creator model can provide? 52 right? MH delivers over 600. Boring cinematic? That's not an issue. Whatever Epic provided is a starting point and user have ways to make the best out of it. If you want to cry over it, be my guest. MH is customizable if you are willing to do it. A lot of Character Creator user end up porting their model to use MH Skeleton because it does best facial animation out of the box. I will take that over 52 Blendhsapes boring ARKit. If you prefer instant coffee, what can I say.
@@FireF1y644 yeah and character creator is ridiculously expensive for what it does. There is a use case for metahumans, which is realistic characters in a mocap pipeline. If you try and use it for something its not meant to do then obviously your gonna have to put in more work... And metahumans can look unique, if you want studio level vfx, you have to put in the work. For stylised characters i just rig it in blender, cause it will give faster and maybe better results than cc4 or metahumans

The plugin functionalities are the same for both engine versions, but the performance processing depends on the official MetaHuman plugin, and since different plugin versions are used for each engine, there may be some differences. Honestly, I’ve noticed slightly better results with engine 5.4 using the same depth frames.

@belkheirifathi4726 $20 is pocket change compared to an iPhone with depth cam. Get over it or go somewhere else to nag. Stupid freeloaders on the mother earth!
@@xlipdevYou can buy an iPhone for this price in dreams, it's just an exaggeration hahaha, I liked this plugin, I would like to get it and I hope to get help from you if I need it, thank you
Hello, I tried your plug-in in the previous version 5.4, but I found that some of the expression capture restoration is not enough, may I ask is there any improvement in this version? I saw the demo in the video is very good
The plugin functionalities are the same for both engine versions, but the performance processing depends on the official MetaHuman plugin, and since different plugin versions are used for each engine, there may be some differences. Honestly, I’ve noticed slightly better results with engine 5.4 using the same depth frames. Please make sure the face is always clear and visible in your video, and that the depth frame preview fits well before generating the frames. You can message me on Discord, and I hope I can help you get better results ^^
