Star Trek Metahuman Animation in Unreal Engine 5.3 (Metahuman Animator + Move.AI Mocap)
Inspired by my recent binge-watching of #StarTrek, I've taken to Epic Games Unreal Engine to direct a cinematic short that defies traditional storytelling boundaries.
By harnessing the capabilities of the #Metahuman system, VFX with Niagra Particles, elevating the scene through #Lumen-based environmental lighting, I'm able to bring the fantastical and otherworldly into digital life—all in real-time. The power of virtual camera support via live-link further enhances the narrative, allowing me to direct scenes as though I'm right there on set.
Motion capture was captured with Move AI revolutionary MoveOne app on iOS! What a tool!
What's groundbreaking about Unreal Engine technology is that it democratizes film production. You don't necessarily need a Hollywood-sized studio anymore. What you need is a team willing to collaborate, innovate, and dream big. The only limits that exist are those of our collective imagination.
Stay tuned and follow along, I can't wait to unveil what we've been cooking up.
