Unreal's new MetaHuman Animator can turn an iPhone video into a scarily accurate game animation in three minutes

From a quick iPhone video to some of the best facial animations you've ever seen in three minutes.

MetaHuman

Well, until now. On stage, Epic showed off a new feature called MetaHuman Animator, designed to completely streamline the process., you can see actor and developer Melina Juergens—star of the Hellblade games—recording a video of her face on an iPhone, before a technician uploads it, processes it, and turns it automatically into a full animated sequence in the space of literally three minutes.

The potential here is huge. Not only will major studios be able to create facial animations in a fraction of the time, allowing for increasingly realistic interactions in upcoming games, but smaller developers will be able to create mocap-quality scenes with just a phone and a PC, instead of an entire studio full of 4D cameras and those little white dot things.
