Animating MetaHumans in UE with Houdini KineFX (using Unreal Engine 5.3)
Houdini → UE 5 Playlist:
• from Houdni to Unreal Engine 5
Bubblepins First Live Stream in a very long time! I will show a quick demonstration of how you can use Houdini's KineFX to animate MetaHumans in Unreal Engine 5.3. This builds on top of the Intro to MetaHumans video released recently. Today's live stream will be a quick demonstration because I needed to test out my streaming setup since I haven't done it in a long time! I prepared a couple of simple animations using KineFX and prepared a couple of HIP setups to illustrate this.
