Take recorder layered recording for Virtual Production part 2
Part 2 of the Unreal Layered Recording tutorial covers using live link face to record one character's performance and then record a second character while the first one is playing back so you have something to react to. This is recording MOCAP and the voice in Unreal's take recorder.
Part 3 will be some info about some alternate ways to use take recorder to do the same thing, how to render out your final scene in high quality and a bit of the post editing process
Part 4 will be doing face and full body capture using iPhone and a Perception Neuron Studio mocap suit.
There are some unfortunate bugs and inconvenient workflow problems in 4.26 for doing this, 4.27 is expected to be an improvement but isn't available yet.
