I will be doing another tutorial on this which some may find easier BUT the software isn’t free…..So wanted to get a free work flow up before I show the paid for. So everyone can find what suits them and budget 👍 I’ll add chapters to the video and all info to description tomorrow. My brain is running on low so must sleep now haha. Thanks for watching and any questions I’ll be happy to answer1 Android users : here is an extension for live link for you 🫶 Somebody has created this on github 👍: github.com/justdark/UE_Android_LiveLink

Jesus! This is maybe the most concise, complete, and technically informative tutorial I've seen in like maybe a decade. Incredible work.

Okay, this is a truly amazing tutorial. As a guy that's been using UE4-5 for almost 2 years (and other related tools such as Blender and Metahuman) I can recognise the sheer amount of work and hours that you must have put in place to get everything working smoothly. I salute you. You're already one of my favourite KZfaq channels related to AI and I think I've only followed you for 2 or 3 weeks.

The sheer potential this will provide indie developers/short film makers.

Quick tip if you don't want to take photos of yourself: use that male default head, set blender camera to 512x512 square and position an area light in front of the model. Use lighter world background and set the head material to a color similar to your character's skin tone. Rotate the head accordingly and render it using the Eeve renderer (default one). Great tutorial as always!

The way you succinctly go through the steps and actually give the "why" for each step is superb! One of the best tutorial creators on KZfaq! Thank you

Another gem of a tutorial. Really amazed how you linked all those tools together on a singular and very interesting project. Quality content.

I love how concise the video is, everything is quick enough to keep the viewer's interest through the whole video. Providing the notes to follow after watching is a great touch. Thank you!

I only had a side interest in how this workflow process was done. I was only going to skim through. The sheer amazement I had in the AMOUNT of subjects/software/quick overviews you had in here had me glued. It was amazing really. Well done. You definitely deserve the views/likes after all that. I will admit the fire alarm was a blessing. It allowed you and me to breathe, take a break cognitively and refocus. The look you gave at 27:20 said, "REALLY?! I'm ALMOST DONE!" Haha. Thanks for leaving that part in. I was beginning to think you were a MetaHuman with how flawless everything was going without a blooper moment. Seriously, drop the mic moment right here.🎤

You’re shooting straight to the top. The best AI channel on KZfaq hands down 🎉

Very impressive to see such a complete workflow tutorialized, well done!

This is a truly amazing tutorial. I know a lot of these, but the way you tied them all together is fantastic. Thank you!

Really epic tutorial, covering so many interconnected topics. very well done and thanks a lot!

A master work of genius on every level- workflow, creativity, tech knowledge, digital arts, clarity & teaching. Brilliant!! As an art director and lifelong digital artist myself for 30 years, I've used it all, always working to stay fresh, and have been wondering about the specifics of this (free method) for the past couple years. This cracks it. What a GREAT one. Thank you!! 👏👏

It's absolutely insane how much knowledge this video offers. Thank you for sharing, hoping to see more in the future.

The value in the tutorial is off the charts!! Looking forward to setting up my own character. Thanks

Wow!!!! This is so professionally presented; it's outstanding. Truely you've spent a great deal of time making this tutorial and I admire this effort.

The quality of this tutorial+the calibre of content is pretty crazy, I don't understand how this doesn't have more views. Insane.

Beautiful tutorials, thank you for taking the time to synthesize all this knowledge into a concise and informative video. You have a great skill in this! I will definitely tag you in my future projects as I make them!

Wow, so much great info packed into this short tutorial. Absolutely thrilled I came across your channel. Thank you!

This is incredibly creative and well-explained. I was trying a slightly different workflow that used textual inversion embeddings to learn character likeness and then generating stylized orthographic reference images with the help of my own custom DreamBooth style models. I would then project these reference textures onto base head sculpts using R3DS Wrap 3 for use in the UE5 Mesh to Metahuman workflow. Your method introduced FaceBuilder to me, which I had no idea about. Wrap 3 is time-consuming to use, so I'll definitely give this a try soon. On a slightly unrelated note, I also started making stable diffusion videos a few months ago. So, I know how insanely tiring it is to create new art, record the process, narrate over it, and compile everything into something digestible to the general audience, and I feel your exhaustion. Bravo and well done!

This is cool. I've been using Reallusion's Character Creator 4 to do something similar albeit with a different workflow. They have an extension called Headshot where you can import a high quality photograph of a face and it will automatically produce the mesh and apply the face image as the texture and produce all of the texture maps, normal maps etc too. You then have a wide array of tools to further enhance the 3d model before exporting it. A critical element required for a successful outcome is a high resolution, high quality, evenly lit colour, expressionless photograph with no facial hair of the face you are trying to create. A tall order when the person you're targeting is either dead (think historical figure, for instance) or where there is no opportunity to acquire such a photo. This "use to be" a problem until a few weeks ago when I stumbled across MidJourney and didn't end up getting much sleep for a few days as a result. We are truly living in the future :)

Very comprehensive video. I like your workflow and your creativity you add to the workflow! Keep it up!

I've just discovered your channel recently and I already love it. That's exactly the stuff I need. Looking forward to seeing where you're going to.

If you plan on using face builder get as many reference pictures you can get before launching it because after 15 days you can’t use it anymore unless you get a license. The license cost $499

I'm impressed by your ability to explain such a complex process; so clearly; I know it's a challenging task! But you did a fantastic job of making it understandable for everyone, and I appreciate your hard work and dedication. You are a true expert in your field; congratulations!

Omg... this is so well done!! The written version of the tutorial, the list on the start of the video... awesome!!!

Wow from someone heavily working with Blender and UE and mocap for a long time, you laid it down very well, appreciated!

Love the content! Inspiring to create my own YT channel :)

This looks like a lot of work. I can't imagine how you figured out how to put it all together, much less filmed and narrated the process of it.

What a terrific tutorial. Thank you Prompt Muse! I'm a fan!

You are pretty badass! I thoroughly enjoyed how you explained step by step. Not many create content this detailed. Every step was explained (for a reason) and that sets you apart from all the other educational content creators. Fantastic video. I can’t wait to try this out. Thanks for the great work and many blessings to you! I subbed and like fyi. Just awesome.

That is a really good tutorial, amazing how you make these different complex tools easy accessible. Metahumans are great but Epic has still a lot to do. So far they very much focused on the head part. In future I hope the offer a complete body modification tool and most importantly clothing assets store.

Ps I’d love to see your creations from this tutorial .so please @promptmuse so I can see them on any social platform. I’m giving Amazon vouchers to 1 winner. I’m hoping this inspires you.

The best step by step breakdown I’ve ever seen. You rock!

I spend an awful amount of time watching tutorials and I didn't know one coule teach this perfectly. You are a a really gréât teacher, thank you so much

So sick to have all of this in one concise tutorial! It makes me wonder if it's possible to use Audio2Face to drive the mouth animation while the rest of the face is still controlled via live link. Then you could generate audio clips with your character's voice and have the mouth movements already synced up, while capturing a natural head/face performance. Idk if it could be done in real time, but it would still be pretty awesome.

Hey can you make a video how to create ai avatar of your self using stable diffusion in Google colab cuz I had some trouble with hugging face and thanks 😊❤️

holy moly this is an amazingly done tutorial! nice job!

Excellent Tutorial - you are the champion of CGI and stuff! Much appreciated.
