TL;DR Summary

Epic's new MetaHuman facial animation tool uses machine learning to generate impressively real facial animation from a simple head-on video taken on an iPhone in just a few minutes. The technology builds on Epic's MetaHuman modeling tool, which launched in 2021 as a way to manually create highly detailed human models in Unreal Engine 5. The new automatic animation technology vastly streamlines the process of animating MetaHumans, making it easier and quicker to get game-usable animation.
