Want to learn more? You can now dive into the documentation for this and all other aspects of the MetaHuman framework on our new MetaHuman hub. In tandem with the DNA Calib ability to set the neutral pose for mesh and joints, this empowers experts to quickly zero in on custom characters. With this release, you can set the template mesh and, provided it strictly adheres to the MetaHuman topology, you will get exactly that mesh rigged-not an approximation. Mesh to MetaHuman performs a fit that enables it to use any topology, but this necessarily approximates the volume of your input mesh. We've also expanded Mesh to MetaHuman so you can now directly set the template mesh point positions. This release isn’t just about MetaHuman Animator, however.

The new feature set uses a 4D solver to combine video and depth data together with a MetaHuman representation of the performer. Now, MetaHuman Animator does the hard work for you in a fraction of the time-and with far less effort. Previously, it would have taken a team of experts months to faithfully recreate every nuance of the actor’s performance on a digital character.
