  • Blu is my alter ego and we're setting out to build our corner of the metaverse, DIY style -- and it's all happenin within our spaceship called Xanadu.
    (Translated description) Thanks to the insane power of the Unreal Engine, my 12 year old self (Blu) thinks he can finally live out any adventure he can virtually concoct!
    The show kicks off in a few weeks and is all about creating fun story elixirs using the Unreal Engine & various motion capture tech :)
    Stay Tuned, Metaverse twisting episodes coming!
    Virtual CZcamsr Gear:
    - Unreal Engine 4.26 (Game engine for nearly everything)
    - Xsens MVN Link mocap suit (body motion capture)
    - Manus VR Prime II gloves ( hand motion capture)
    - iPhone 12 mini (facial motion capture)
    - Standard Deviation HMC (mocap helmet)
    - Maya (Modeling, Rigging)
    - zBrush (Sculpting)
    - Substance Painter (model textures)
    - Quixel Megascans (surface textures)
    - 3D Marketplace Assets (Unreal Marketplace, CGTrader, TurboSquid)
    - Premiere (Editing)
    - Soundly (Sound Library Organizer)

      It's pretty much how they did Avatar, the Mandalorian etc - but now your PC is powerful enough to do it in realtime. Cameron actually pioneered a lot of this tech back when it was super expensive -watch the making of documentary for Avatar 'to see more'. (Starship Troopers 'news' reference for the noobs).

They already have tech created that is said that we shouldn't really have for the next 50 years, but its been already created. They haven't released it yet because they are waiting to introduce all this tech when the Metaverse is fully presented and available to the general public. And all of this is just a few years down the road.

    Your work is incredible and motivate all of us to use motion capture! We use motion capture in our animation studio too. I heard in a video of you that you could trigger the XSens record from the game engine. Do you have any tips to proceed? How to make the game engine (Unity for us) and XSens Animate Pro communicating? It would be useful for us for the timing of our actor performing.

      Thanks Jordan. You can send UDP commands to xsens to trigger recording, etc and I would imagine Unity can send/receive UDP... if it's not built in there's likely a plugin that can do it. xsens has a doc on their UDP commands so it's pretty easy to get going.

    I was thinking about doing something almost just like this. It's a bit different but basically the same thing. What you've built is something I hoping to get over time because I know basically nothing, i was going to start with the facial motion capture and built up from there. Yours seems to be more fun, my iteration had a more serious tone, political/reactionary/fun, orientated more towards live streaming rather then a show. Yours is so good it almost makes me not even want to bother. I've seen your baby stuff, I hope this works out well for you.

    Alright you know what? Using metaverse for entertainment is probably the best thing to come of this. Had my doubts until now but something I can look forwards to without buying anything is nice.

    great work man ! Amazed by the tech but also the writing, the design, the acting...
    Is this video can be real time as it is, or did you add some non-linear features that needs export time ?
    And how many blendshapes did you sculpt ?

      Thanks Vincent! This could playback in realtime as is, with slightly dialed down render settings. I pump them up a bit for the final render which outputs around 2-5 fps.
      For the blendshapes, there's 51 based on the ARKit SDK

      he didnt sculpt the blendshapes, looks like its using the cameras in the iphone to capture the facial features and he is making the various expressions

      awesome thanks! Im hoping to put some making of/ BTS at the end of each episode. Im not sure how detailed but it should give a good idea, especially over time.

      I was so dissappointed when the book of faces purchased the Oculus (3rd eye) Rift (Portal) WE paid to KickStart.
