Live Link Face to Unreal MetaHuman Retarget

Quixel Suite

I recently started playing around with the mind-blowing MetaHuman (MH) feature from Unreal Engine. Through the Quixel Bridge editor, you can create and customize a highly realistic avatar in a few clicks, and send it to your Unreal project. Everything is fine-tuned to get the best of Unreal shaders and will leave you speechless 😍 I invite you to take a peek at it, plenty of resources out there.

Pandas

It's not the most convenient format, but if you take a good look at this CSV file, it's all there: For each timecode frame (first column), you get a value of all the shapes defining the facial expression at that frame. These shapes come from Apple's ARKit Framework, which uses the iphone's TrueDepth camera to detect facial expressions and generate blendshape coefficients. All we have to do is extract those time/value pairs and store then in some handy container. This is where the Pandas library 🐼 and its dataframes are gonna do wonders!
