Through out this course we went through the entire process of creating a cinematic: finding inspiration, gathering references, creating a block-out, planning and setting up camera shots, and finally putting everything together for a final shot. I wanted to learn motion capture so I purchased a Rokoko suite to learned how.

In the process I used the suit to create animations, clean up the motion capture data, and get everything into Unreal working on a MetaHuman. The choice of using a MetaHuman was to keep the main character as realistic as possible. Not wanting to use a generic MetaHuman I learned how to scan my own face and also use Blender to put a custom outfit on. The blender process required learning how to bring in a MetaHuman, attach the clothing to the body, weigh paint to fix a tone of bugs, and finally get everything back into Unreal working. Another challenge was combining face animations with the body animations, as the neck was going through the body. Luckily I used some body movement as markers to help align everything else up.
