00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.640
creating a 3d model of a person from scratch is tough and while modeling

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:11.360
software and hardware has improved throughout the years it still takes a

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:16.720
ton of experience and a lot of work to take a collection of basic shapes and

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:18.160
turn it into a photorealistic person but

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:22.720
hold on a second what if we started with a finished

00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:25.760
person instead and then just tweaked them to look different

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:31.279
well that sounds kind of like the character creation tool in your favorite

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:33.600
rpg and those are often pretty decent

00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:37.840
but they're always highly limited in terms of their sculpting options

00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:43.120
that is until now meet the metahuman creator want a voodoo

00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:46.719
doll of your boss to kick around with ragdoll physics

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:50.399
easy want a photorealistic digital representation of the father you never

00:00:48.239 --> 00:00:55.600
had got you covered want a waifu to

00:00:53.120 --> 00:01:00.719
whatever people do with those you didn't need to know but you got it

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:06.080
want to know about our sponsor ridge wallet ridge wallet wants to redefine no nay

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:09.840
have redefined the traditional wallet with their compact frames and rfid

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:16.000
blocking plates keep your wallet bulge down and use offer code Linus to save 10

00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:16.000
and get free worldwide shipping

00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:29.840
with the metahuman creator epic has set out to give developers the ability to

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:34.400
not only make character models quickly but to a high level of detail

00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:38.799
now it hasn't been officially released yet but you can request access on their

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:42.400
website wait a few days and bada

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:45.759
you've got your very own npc factory at your disposal the big question however

00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:52.560
is is it as easy to use as they say

00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:54.799
to find out i will be going manoa mono

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:58.960
against our logistics manager matthias who has a background in 3d modeling

00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.960
granted he leans more towards architecture and structures but he does

00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:08.879
have experience with character modeling as well anyway if epic did their job right none

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:12.319
of that should matter i mean this looks pretty easy right who needs design

00:02:10.959 --> 00:02:16.239
school to make a fully rigged and clothed human when you've got the power

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:19.200
of unreal engine 4. speaking of clothing too bad we can't

00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:23.120
clothe our models in ltte merch that would be a fun epic collab for the next

00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:26.560
best thing go to lttstore.com and clothe yourself with them

00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:30.400
now each of us will have 20 minutes to turn the same starting metahuman into a

00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:34.720
digital version of yours truly neither of us have touched

00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:40.480
the tool yet and will both be using the same frontal and three-quarter view

00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:43.920
profile pictures as references

00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:45.519
does this seem reasonable

00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:49.840
how much time would it normally take to create a fully rigged and clothed person

00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:53.760
depending on the complexity anywhere from a couple hundred hours to a couple

00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:53.760
thousand

00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:01.599
fortunately my secret weapon is i have the advantage of seeing myself in the

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.599
mirror every morning

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:10.560
i don't think anyone's going to call that an advantage

00:03:06.959 --> 00:03:12.080
this is it yeah there's no like tutorial

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:19.159
mission we just go now

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:19.159
oh my gosh um i'm ready

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:24.480
how long do we get okay

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.319
normally when we do these kinds of challenges no matter how much experience

00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:33.280
i have i'll just like come in like overly confident

00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:39.599
hey i got nothing i got no swagger uh face blend what is blend

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:43.200
oh my god you take multiple characters and like put them together and she's

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:48.239
like looking at you and stuff the whole time holy crap i am

00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:52.239
screwed i'm pretty confident about this it's

00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:54.400
relatively intuitive um

00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:59.680
it's pretty you know just point click drag

00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:04.799
what the hell is happening okay well that

00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.799
how do i make my nose pointier

00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:11.360
absolutely zero prior experience

00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:18.320
in-game character creation tools i usually just blitz through them as fast

00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:23.680
as possible because i play games to play games not to stare at

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.680
in-game characters

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:31.919
my chances are basically zero thank you for making me say that out loud

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:37.280
i still haven't figured out how to change skin color at all

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:37.280
so that's a challenge

00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:43.840
well that ain't it chief uh

00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:51.520
okay what color is my skin i don't know never really thought about it

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:56.560
i went to school for uh 3d animation mostly for cinematics uh so you know

00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:00.320
like cartoons and whatnot um unfortunately i never actually got a

00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:08.280
chance to do it uh professionally at least

00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:08.280
until today until today

00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:17.360
it's great but i'm having trouble

00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:22.000
how about that okay i have dark brown eyes apparently my my eyes are dark

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:27.199
okay oh god that smile i don't look like that okay

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:30.880
my teeth are mostly whitish i think but they're a little yellow

00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:34.080
okay makeup oh god no we don't need any makeup how do i turn it off thin liner

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:39.440
soft smoky okay it needs more like off buttons

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:44.880
um because this has eyeliner on it i don't want it

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:44.880
so do i just press x no oh god

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.919
or something the difference between say this and maya

00:05:49.919 --> 00:05:57.680
is maya you have to drag around individual vertices and other features

00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:01.360
and you have to like place individual polygons where this is just you know

00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:05.199
nice click and drag and you know move it all around okay

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:09.759
color here we go what color is my hair it's kind of

00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:14.880
um oh god i'm so gonna lose this

00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:20.080
that doesn't look anything like me though looks so much better than you

00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:24.479
yes very symmetrical i'm not very symmetrical as far as i can tell there

00:06:21.919 --> 00:06:27.680
isn't any way to actually change or adjust the hair shapes only what the

00:06:25.919 --> 00:06:30.960
presets are which is kind of annoying

00:06:29.919 --> 00:06:36.319
okay maybe we could change the pants to yeah that's

00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:41.039
more like it uh-huh

00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:44.479
okay definitely hoodie okay shoes

00:06:42.080 --> 00:06:48.400
there we go it's the closest we got i'm surprised you didn't choose the

00:06:45.520 --> 00:06:52.240
child body the child shut up i'm not that short

00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:55.680
all right i need to find some mother with a big nose and i need to add that

00:06:54.479 --> 00:07:00.000
to my blend show me the like big old honkin nose why

00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:04.960
do these people all have perfect adorable noses look how cute this guy is

00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:08.720
look at jesse here like man 10 out of 10 doable

00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:13.520
i think they're going to add a lot of stuff later on because it does feel like there's a lot of

00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:17.520
tweaks and details that are missing currently yeah i mean one thing you

00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:22.240
can't really adjust is you know eye separation and that's in even some

00:07:19.919 --> 00:07:26.080
fairly basic character creation screens that i've seen we can move them apart

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:30.880
and stuff oh wow okay i'm gonna admit this doesn't look quite

00:07:29.280 --> 00:07:34.560
like you but i think that's just due to the limitations of the tool oh oh yeah

00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:39.280
you're just gonna blame the tool well when mine looks identical to me you're

00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:44.560
gonna who's gonna be laughing now uh oh my god you can add more than three

00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:47.840
blend things i'm just gonna leave christopher in

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:52.319
there okay now we're just throwing stuff at the wall okay okay what about pia

00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:56.360
let's throw pia in here oh god that's not it pia get out

00:07:56.840 --> 00:08:03.199
yeah what kind of shortcuts what what are you doing mostly just

00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:07.120
rotation and movements i didn't even move the guy around at all

00:08:05.039 --> 00:08:11.000
do you need to do that um if you want a good sculpt of course you do

00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:17.440
because if you could transition between two views like you can actually see what

00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:23.120
you're doing i think really this tool is designed to

00:08:19.520 --> 00:08:23.120
make us feel bad about ourselves

00:08:24.840 --> 00:08:31.550
okay okay okay count us down three

00:08:30.080 --> 00:08:35.009
two

00:08:38.839 --> 00:08:43.839
one they feel like sims really you

00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:47.839
definitely got the nose better i couldn't figure out the nose tool

00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:51.680
so basically i didn't actually blend anything i just

00:08:49.920 --> 00:08:55.680
sculpted all manually really yes

00:08:53.040 --> 00:08:58.640
so the tools i primarily used were the move and sculpt

00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:04.480
then i just integrated parts of the features to kind

00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:10.720
of get my ballpark then tuned with the movement sculpt

00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:12.000
interesting yeah i definitely used blend

00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:17.440
which it took me a while to figure out how to use and then i went in with move

00:09:13.839 --> 00:09:19.360
and sculpt and then i made things worse

00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:23.920
for the most part i think the blend has a large potential to

00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:28.240
you know speed up all the workflow the problem is like i didn't want to

00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:33.839
waste time by learning a new tool when i could just do it faster myself right

00:09:30.959 --> 00:09:37.839
if there's more hair customization or if you could say sculpt the hair like

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:41.120
you could do the face yeah that would have made it so much better i think with

00:09:39.680 --> 00:09:46.880
more time and experience i could get it closer but not a lot closer it needs way

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:51.040
more tools with respect to being able to like shape the face more or maybe i mean

00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:56.240
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

00:09:54.399 --> 00:10:00.160
that's i constantly try to draw it in because you have quite my cheeks are

00:09:57.680 --> 00:10:02.480
quite concave yeah yeah um and then the nose

00:10:01.040 --> 00:10:08.720
you yes you can't do anything with the nose it needs way more in terms of accessories there's a lot of things

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:10.560
about a person that are identifiable

00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:14.320
markers that you just can't put on like i have a mole for example that would

00:10:12.640 --> 00:10:18.399
really help go oh yeah that's Linus or earrings or whatever which one looks

00:10:16.079 --> 00:10:22.079
more like minus i don't know the bow pretty bad

00:10:23.839 --> 00:10:31.120
ouch stab don't twist

00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:32.720
so these are both supposed to be Linus

00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:37.120
okay there's a bit i get a bit of an asian

00:10:34.560 --> 00:10:40.800
vibe on this one here uh

00:10:38.160 --> 00:10:45.440
i don't immediately get Linus vibes from either of them so there's that

00:10:43.680 --> 00:10:52.959
okay what am i doing you need to decide which face looks more like your husband

00:10:48.880 --> 00:10:52.959
but neither of them look like him

00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:00.480
on honestly the one on the right kind of looks like james to me

00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:04.640
but the one on the left the hair is just too

00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:10.399
nice looking like it's all swept so neatly and Linus's hair is always just

00:11:06.959 --> 00:11:11.680
like like he just woke up it's bed head

00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:15.839
why did i think it was a good idea to bring in someone who looks at me this much

00:11:15.920 --> 00:11:22.800
oh yeah and did you get the ears being offside a little bit

00:11:21.040 --> 00:11:28.320
i don't know uh the one on the left just looks more fake just in general it just

00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:31.440
looks less like a real human the one on the right

00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:38.160
really you know i just i can't get past the beard it's just too much it's just

00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:41.040
too much on the left i'm sorry i'm sorry

00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:44.160
i have experience doing this because i watched Linus do short circuits all the

00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:50.880
time both hairs at least the hairstyles is off for sure

00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:54.720
oh yeah the one on the right i like the one on the right better

00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:58.720
so the the right one looks like what Linus wants to look like

00:11:56.959 --> 00:12:03.600
and then when the left is around here

00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:06.320
which one do you think looks more like neither

00:12:04.880 --> 00:12:14.320
i think i'm gonna go with the one on the left just because this one looks too much like james to me

00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:15.200
i'm gonna guess matthias made that one

00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:19.760
no really yeah Linus self image is james

00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.320
they do look like people they just don't look like lions

00:12:23.040 --> 00:12:27.760
like like maybe the one on the right like maybe a slightly younger Linus but

00:12:26.160 --> 00:12:30.399
i've seen younger Linus and he didn't look like that

00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:37.120
and i'm gonna predict i think matthias did the one on the

00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:42.160
right you're very wrong what

00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:47.519
oh i'm so sorry mathias that's fine

00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:50.959
now if if i'm allowed to guess who's done what

00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:55.760
don't look at us okay okay fine i'm gonna guess that

00:12:53.360 --> 00:13:00.320
uh the left one was done by mathias and the right one was done by Linus

00:12:58.079 --> 00:13:05.760
i'm gonna say that the left one was modeled by Linus

00:13:02.560 --> 00:13:08.720
the super beardy one just

00:13:05.760 --> 00:13:12.720
Linus is a jokester and he would do that uh i could see that

00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.880
being like the hero in your story and that's kind of like the

00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:21.040
um oh man i don't know why luke just popped into my head

00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:21.040
what word were you

00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:28.160
which one did you say looked more like me again

00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.600
so james is the hero in your story is that what you're trying to say

00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:35.519
uh i'm gonna go now i'm not a modern game

00:13:33.760 --> 00:13:40.480
development expert but i think it's pretty obvious that this would help a

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:45.440
lot in terms of creating extremely diverse looking crowds of people i mean

00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:50.959
we've seen so often where the main character is like this

00:13:47.560 --> 00:13:53.519
immaculately crafted 3d model i think

00:13:50.959 --> 00:13:57.560
like the the the reboot tomb raider games are a great example where lara

00:13:55.680 --> 00:14:02.720
croft is just like this painstakingly created model and then

00:14:00.959 --> 00:14:06.240
pretty much everyone else in the games is like

00:14:04.160 --> 00:14:11.120
yeah it looks like it was done five five years ago you know crowds of people with

00:14:08.959 --> 00:14:15.360
this level of diversity with this amount of speed is definitely going to increase

00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:19.920
my immersion because you see it so often where you're like oh yeah that's the

00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:23.519
same one with a palette swap like it it takes you out of it it's immersion

00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:29.680
breaking whereas this can improve that like overnight i think it has a great

00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:32.240
potential to replace a large amount of

00:14:29.680 --> 00:14:34.639
npc creation in the scene where you need say

00:14:33.040 --> 00:14:38.320
a hundred different characters all wandering around doing different things

00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:44.639
it's absolutely great because it's rigged textured and ready to go and

00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.480
easily deployable you know

00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:51.600
yeah it's not great admittedly

00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:53.519
not great unlike our sponsor
