Epic Games Unveils Metahuman Animator, A Potential Game Changer For Automated Facial Animation And Lip Sync

03/24/2023

Epic Games has unveiled a new module of its Metahuman platform called Metahuman Animator that is among the most significant advances we’ve seen in automated lip sync and facial animation.

The new tech eliminates the need for bespoke facial motion capture technology, making it possible to accomplish with only an iPhone. The unedited animation output through Unreal Engine is nuanced and polished and provides a framework that animators can further tweak and refine. For the purpose of games and series, which require large outputs of cg animation, this tech could very well be a game changer.
