This week we focused on facial motion capture to then animate the MetaHuman with this data. We started marking up the face of a couple of classmates with eyeliner. Putting these spots in specific places on face was important, so that the software can then track the model's facial features. The model has to speak a short line, while trying not to move their head too much and slightly over exaggerating their speech.
Below is an example of the footage the we recorded of the marked up actor's face, speaking their intro "Hi my name is Kalie, and I'm a MataHuman".

Below is some behind the scenes photos of creating another couple of MetaHuman characters
Below we are trying to match the facial features as close as we can to the real person. Also the final MetaHumans with the real humans!
Here I had a chance to get into a mo-cap suit to drive a MetaHuman character
