ton of experience and a lot of work to take a collection of basic shapes and turn it into a photorealistic person but hold on a second what if we started with a finished person instead and then just tweaked them to look different well that sounds kind of like the character creation tool in your favorite rpg and those are often pretty decent but they're always highly limited in terms of their sculpting options that is until now meet the metahuman creator want a voodoo doll of your boss to kick around with ragdoll physics easy want a photorealistic digital representation of the father you never had got you covered want a waifu to whatever people do with those you didn't need to know but you got it want to know about our sponsor ridge wallet ridge wallet wants to redefine no nay have redefined the traditional wallet with their compact frames and rfid blocking plates keep your wallet bulge down and use offer code Linus to save 10 and get free worldwide shipping with the metahuman creator epic has set out to give developers the ability to not only make character models quickly but to a high level of detail now it hasn't been officially released yet but you can request access on their website wait a few days and bada you've got your very own npc factory at your disposal the big question however is is it as easy to use as they say to find out i will be going manoa mono against our logistics manager matthias who has a background in 3d modeling granted he leans more towards architecture and structures but he does have experience with character modeling as well anyway if epic did their job right none of that should matter i mean this looks pretty easy right who needs design school to make a fully rigged and clothed human when you've got the power of unreal engine 4. speaking of clothing too bad we can't clothe our models in ltte merch that would be a fun epic collab for the next best thing go to lttstore.com and clothe yourself with them now each of us will have 20 minutes to turn the same starting metahuman into a digital version of yours truly neither of us have touched the tool yet and will both be using the same frontal and three-quarter view profile pictures as references does this seem reasonable how much time would it normally take to create a fully rigged and clothed person depending on the complexity anywhere from a couple hundred hours to a couple thousand fortunately my secret weapon is i have the advantage of seeing myself in the mirror every morning i don't think anyone's going to call that an advantage this is it yeah there's no like tutorial mission we just go now oh my gosh um i'm ready how long do we get okay normally when we do these kinds of challenges no matter how much experience i have i'll just like come in like overly confident hey i got nothing i got no swagger uh face blend what is blend oh my god you take multiple characters and like put them together and she's like looking at you and stuff the whole time holy crap i am screwed i'm pretty confident about this it's relatively intuitive um it's pretty you know just point click drag what the hell is happening okay well that how do i make my nose pointier absolutely zero prior experience in-game character creation tools i usually just blitz through them as fast as possible because i play games to play games not to stare at in-game characters my chances are basically zero thank you for making me say that out loud i still haven't figured out how to change skin color at all so that's a challenge well that ain't it chief uh okay what color is my skin i don't know never really thought about it i went to school for uh 3d animation mostly for cinematics uh so you know like cartoons and whatnot um unfortunately i never actually got a chance to do it uh professionally at least until today until today it's great but i'm having trouble how about that okay i have dark brown eyes apparently my my eyes are dark okay oh god that smile i don't look like that okay my teeth are mostly whitish i think but they're a little yellow okay makeup oh god no we don't need any makeup how do i turn it off thin liner soft smoky okay it needs more like off buttons um because this has eyeliner on it i don't want it so do i just press x no oh god or something the difference between say this and maya is maya you have to drag around individual vertices and other features and you have to like place individual polygons where this is just you know nice click and drag and you know move it all around okay color here we go what color is my hair it's kind of um oh god i'm so gonna lose this that doesn't look anything like me though looks so much better than you yes very symmetrical i'm not very symmetrical as far as i can tell there isn't any way to actually change or adjust the hair shapes only what the presets are which is kind of annoying okay maybe we could change the pants to yeah that's more like it uh-huh okay definitely hoodie okay shoes there we go it's the closest we got i'm surprised you didn't choose the child body the child shut up i'm not that short all right i need to find some mother with a big nose and i need to add that to my blend show me the like big old honkin nose why do these people all have perfect adorable noses look how cute this guy is look at jesse here like man 10 out of 10 doable i think they're going to add a lot of stuff later on because it does feel like there's a lot of tweaks and details that are missing currently yeah i mean one thing you can't really adjust is you know eye separation and that's in even some fairly basic character creation screens that i've seen we can move them apart and stuff oh wow okay i'm gonna admit this doesn't look quite like you but i think that's just due to the limitations of the tool oh oh yeah you're just gonna blame the tool well when mine looks identical to me you're gonna who's gonna be laughing now uh oh my god you can add more than three blend things i'm just gonna leave christopher in there okay now we're just throwing stuff at the wall okay okay what about pia let's throw pia in here oh god that's not it pia get out yeah what kind of shortcuts what what are you doing mostly just rotation and movements i didn't even move the guy around at all do you need to do that um if you want a good sculpt of course you do because if you could transition between two views like you can actually see what you're doing i think really this tool is designed to make us feel bad about ourselves okay okay okay count us down three two one they feel like sims really you definitely got the nose better i couldn't figure out the nose tool so basically i didn't actually blend anything i just sculpted all manually really yes so the tools i primarily used were the move and sculpt then i just integrated parts of the features to kind of get my ballpark then tuned with the movement sculpt interesting yeah i definitely used blend which it took me a while to figure out how to use and then i went in with move and sculpt and then i made things worse for the most part i think the blend has a large potential to you know speed up all the workflow the problem is like i didn't want to waste time by learning a new tool when i could just do it faster myself right if there's more hair customization or if you could say sculpt the hair like you could do the face yeah that would have made it so much better i think with more time and experience i could get it closer but not a lot closer it needs way more tools with respect to being able to like shape the face more or maybe i mean oh actually yours is better but it's hard to tell under the beard but i felt like i couldn't draw in my cheeks enough that's i constantly try to draw it in because you have quite my cheeks are quite concave yeah yeah um and then the nose you yes you can't do anything with the nose it needs way more in terms of accessories there's a lot of things about a person that are identifiable markers that you just can't put on like i have a mole for example that would really help go oh yeah that's Linus or earrings or whatever which one looks more like minus i don't know the bow pretty bad ouch stab don't twist so these are both supposed to be Linus okay there's a bit i get a bit of an asian vibe on this one here uh i don't immediately get Linus vibes from either of them so there's that okay what am i doing you need to decide which face looks more like your husband but neither of them look like him on honestly the one on the right kind of looks like james to me but the one on the left the hair is just too nice looking like it's all swept so neatly and Linus's hair is always just like like he just woke up it's bed head why did i think it was a good idea to bring in someone who looks at me this much oh yeah and did you get the ears being offside a little bit i don't know uh the one on the left just looks more fake just in general it just looks less like a real human the one on the right really you know i just i can't get past the beard it's just too much it's just too much on the left i'm sorry i'm sorry i have experience doing this because i watched Linus do short circuits all the time both hairs at least the hairstyles is off for sure oh yeah the one on the right i like the one on the right better so the the right one looks like what Linus wants to look like and then when the left is around here which one do you think looks more like neither i think i'm gonna go with the one on the left just because this one looks too much like james to me i'm gonna guess matthias made that one no really yeah Linus self image is james they do look like people they just don't look like lions like like maybe the one on the right like maybe a slightly younger Linus but i've seen younger Linus and he didn't look like that and i'm gonna predict i think matthias did the one on the right you're very wrong what oh i'm so sorry mathias that's fine now if if i'm allowed to guess who's done what don't look at us okay okay fine i'm gonna guess that uh the left one was done by mathias and the right one was done by Linus i'm gonna say that the left one was modeled by Linus the super beardy one just Linus is a jokester and he would do that uh i could see that being like the hero in your story and that's kind of like the um oh man i don't know why luke just popped into my head what word were you which one did you say looked more like me again so james is the hero in your story is that what you're trying to say uh i'm gonna go now i'm not a modern game development expert but i think it's pretty obvious that this would help a lot in terms of creating extremely diverse looking crowds of people i mean we've seen so often where the main character is like this immaculately crafted 3d model i think like the the the reboot tomb raider games are a great example where lara croft is just like this painstakingly created model and then pretty much everyone else in the games is like yeah it looks like it was done five five years ago you know crowds of people with this level of diversity with this amount of speed is definitely going to increase my immersion because you see it so often where you're like oh yeah that's the same one with a palette swap like it it takes you out of it it's immersion breaking whereas this can improve that like overnight i think it has a great potential to replace a large amount of npc creation in the scene where you need say a hundred different characters all wandering around doing different things it's absolutely great because it's rigged textured and ready to go and easily deployable you know yeah it's not great admittedly not great unlike our sponsor squarespace you might have heard of them they're a leader

actually you know what we probably got closer than i expected if you guys are looking for another fun video to watch we recently did one with two simultaneously running games and people have to decide whether rtx is on or off the results will shock you that's me thanks Yvonne"}
