🧵  We just released a new video tutorial, showcasing how you can blend #Mixamo animations using the power of AI, directly in #UnrealEngine5’s editor with #MotionTwin  👉 Watch the Tutorial: https://lnkd.in/dgZggyr4 Our latest feature, Motion Stitch, offers an alternative and more advanced way of animation blending. In this tutorial we showcase how you can use #MotionTwin to combine animations based on #Mixamo character rigs into complete sequences, with IK retargeters provided out-of-the-box. You can try out Motion Stitch to create your own sequences today, by signing up for our closed Beta via the link below. 👉 Join the Closed Beta: https://bit.ly/3TByYQc And as always, we're looking forward to hearing more about your experience. Feel free to reach out and share your thoughts and feedback, and let us know which features you’d like to see next! 👉 Check out our Docs: https://bit.ly/4aqDqJ6  -The RealTwin Team #virtualproduction  #realtwin #generativeAI #motion #human #animations #mocap  #unreal #engine #ue5 #mixamo #plugin #beta #cloudAI #tutorial

🚀 We just launched our new video tutorial series! Dive into our latest video, where we combine the power of MotionTwin’s AI capabilities and Mixamo's rich animation library to create seamless, dynamic sequences in Unreal Engine. 👉 Watch the Tutorial: https://lnkd.in/d-rGFjgM In this tutorial, we shine a spotlight on the trajectory control feature, which allows you to define a trajectory in Unreal Engine's Sequencer and instruct MotionTwin to generate the animation following your path. We’re also planning to expand our video series to deepen your understanding of MotionTwin's capabilities, showcase its seamless integration with Unreal Engine, and cover more use cases that can enhance your animation workflows and transform your projects. As we continue to refine MotionTwin, we're looking forward to hearing more about your experience. Your feedback is invaluable to us, as it helps us guide the development of features that matter most to our community.

Experiment of the day - refining rough animations from Unreal Engine with Stable Diffusion and ComfyUI I've seen quite a few CG workflows lately that involve taking rough playblasts from 3D software and using AI to texture them, so I wanted to give it a go and see what works and what doesn't. I took the base walking animation from Unreal Engine's third person character and used a basic VDB sim from JangaFX's EmberGen in the background, emulating that classic trope of 'Cool character walking away from an explosion'. I then brought that rough animation into ComfyUI and, after a lot of trial and error 😅 managed to get something half-way decent. Its fiddly, but I can see the appeal - especially considering how easy it is to create rough animations in another software like Unreal Engine or After Effects and then rely on AI to jazz it up. I'm not sure how it would handle more complicated camera movements, but more to test. Has anyone else tried this workflow and gotten better results? #animation #generativeart #aiart #unrealengine #motiongraphics

Exploring generative video techniques to produce B-roll for enhancing animations. Also, it is just fun. Video clips generated through Luma Labs. Source imagery generated in Firefly. #architecturalillustration #archviz #architecturalrendering #lumalabs

Audio Driven Animations are one of the best things for indies when working with Meta Humans. Here is an experiment. A custom Meta Human(Pug) animated with an Al Pacino speech. The pug was created by Santelmo Vazquez with Mesh Morpher. #ue5 #meshmorpher #metahuman #metahumananimator

Tried out scroll-triggered animations for a quick experiment: . . . . . #Figma #SmartAnimate #WebDesign #UXDesign #UIDesign #ScrollAnimations #DesignInspiration #MicroInteractions #DesignExperiment #CreativeProcess #DesignTrends

Forward-Face Locomotion in Unreal Engine 5 Rig, retarget and animations are done in Maya For this character I created a rig then retargeted rough motion capture data (mostly cycle animations). After changed animations for better feeling in the engine, created various keyframe animations such as starts (for all directions) and stops, for different movement state and type (armed and unarmed). Added additive poses for lean and acceleration. In total for this locomotion system I used 50 animations and about 12 additive poses. During development animations might be changed and polished, btw.

Finally figured out how to synchronize animations from different characters 😮💨 #gamedev #indiegamedev #rpg
