Motion Capture Driving MetaHumans for ICVFX
Introducing Evergreen — a Dimension motion capture demo driving live MetaHumans for in-camera VFX via an LED volume. Watch the behind the scenes below.
Set on a forested riverbed, the demo features two physical actors performing live against an LED volume. At the same time, directable mid-ground MetaHuman characters are puppeteered in realtime on a neighbouring performance capture stage.
The MetaHuman characters are driven by data generated from motion capture actors next door, captured using Vicon cameras. This realtime animation is played out on the LED volume for the physical actors to see and interact with.
The demo highlights a new way of using directable mid-ground MetaHuman characters. Because they're puppeteered in realtime, it allows for more dynamic and authentic interactions, such as characters helping each other traverse rocks.
See the in-camera edit below to watch the positive impact of the LED volume on the actors with realistic lighting and interaction with the MetaHuman characters.
