Integrating Unreal Virtual Production Into the Highest-Quality Character Animation Pipeline
summary
AMGI claims it produces feature-quality character animation in a fraction of traditional time by combining motion-capture puppeteering, keyframe cleanup in Maya, and real-time rendering in Unreal. The pipeline uses Substance Painter, Shotgun, FBX/Alembic and Unreal Live Link Face + Maya bidirectional pipeline, and delivers takes exported back to Maya for high-end cleanup. A minute-long scene sometimes renders in 6 seconds for a minute-long scene versus two-hour-per-frame offline renders, and a phone-driven face-to-body mapping demonstrably drives believable full-body performances.
