Blue Dot: A 3Lateral Showcase of MetaHuman Animator

This is simply mindblowing! Pure awesomeness.

Needs 60fps

I wonder how muchtime it takes to render with top hardware.

Should be fully in Serbian to preserve the poem's essence. It would change nothing as this is a technical showcase. The team at 3Lateral must have fought heard to keep at least the first sentence Serbian and bring onboard a Serbian Actor

I gotta to admit. The facial animation is very realistic and to me, it's more realistic than Avatar. I sometimes forget I'm watching a CGI rendered using a game engine. This is hyperrealistic. It's hard to spot the uncanny valley.

Very cool video, what are those stains in the background?

i am actually struggling to tell if this is animated or not

Incredible ! The acting, render, story, music, well done !

I would die to have a full version of this song

getting better. but given its been 22 YEARS since Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within. not enough of a quantum leap. still looks unreal.

What brand of helmet camera is used for facial capture?

Amei a animação e a qualidade dela, esse METAHUMAN é um monstro!

As vezes volto e reassisto novamente, pois a mini-história desse vídeo me pegou, e até busquei ver conteúdo original que inspirou esse monólogo.

"Eu não vou te dizer o que é essa estrela azul, o que é essa estrela brilhante. Quando você encontrá-la - Você entenderá."

So, this is the single most realistic metahuman example I've seen. At first, I really just thought it was filmed traditionally. Most meta human examples I've seen, you can tell it's animated within a few seconds. This one, you could watch the entirety and it look photographic and realistically human throughout the video. There needs to be an instructional video explaining how this level of quality was achieved compared to most every other example I've seen. Not just in the lighting and skin, but with respect to the actual facial animation. Most examples I've seen using metahuman just aren't human like enough in their motions, but this absolutely was. I don't know how/why this one was so much better compared to all the examples I've seen where people use Livelink and show their work. What is different here than what people are doing straight out of the box?

Speechless

The subtle refractive white glow from his beard stubble is insanely tiny attention to detail..... if you were selling me the idea of beyond uncanny valley, you'd already have my money.

Can you please tell me which depth camera you used ?

Anyone know of any resources (courses/tutorials) that will show how to make something at this level of realism?

Here is the beautiful poem by Mika Antic this was based on. I get shivers every time I watch this. I cannot find a flow, it is so well thought out and so well made..

Znam,
mora biti da je tako:
nikad se nismo sreli nas dvoje,
mada se trazimo podjednako
zbog srece njene
i srece moje.
Pijana kisa siba i mlati,
vrbama vetar cupa kosu.

Kuda cu?
U koji grad da svratim?

Dan je niz mutna polja prosut.

Vucaram svetom dva prazna oka
zurim u lica prolaznika.
Koga da pitam,gladan i mokar,
zasto se nismo sreli nikad?

Il je vec bilo?
Trebao korak?
Mozda je sasvim do mene dosla.
Al’ ja,
u krcmu svratio gorak,
a ona
ne znajuci-prosla.

Ne znam.
Ceo svet smo obisli
u zudnji ludoj
podjednakoj,
a za korak se mimoisli.

Da, mora da je tako.

we dont need more hollywood sstudios and location. everything is possible in computer. with rtx 5xxx we will see photorealistc end real time render. i hope we will have in 5 years the same boom like animes of good makeing movies by artist and not anymore by managers

Anyone Know the music?

Comrades! We have seized the means of post-production!

How does it capture the emotion of that look so well... Like, the actual sub-emotion is conveyed I am stunned.

wait what!?

So..creepy. The line between real and the valley is almost gone. Is this good or bad?

The best ive seen yet.
Would be great if you could supply links to the hardware used.

this short film completely destroys the unity tech demo from early this year

One word SCARY

The mouth always gives it away, and the easing in the movements.

Is this path tracing or true real-time?

looks amazing，are you guys planning to release this project in the future？

So, THAT was amazing! Great job, to the creators!

Svaka ćast ljudi!! A stunig showcase!

I'm a 3D Artist for several years already and I make a living out of it so I know when something is 3D and when it isn't yet I am incredibly confused still not knowing if this is a real human and Epic Games is just pranking us cuz damn. This was made with the MetaHuman creator??? no way (edit: Im not afraid of AI anymore lmao)

Opaaa! <3 Svaka čast majstori!

This is extremely impressive, especially for the simplicity of the capture method. Wild how far we've come.

WwoOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never been moved to tears from art like this. This is why I love this work. Rooting so hard for you artists that made this. I am gonna go get some tissues now

We want to see how it was made 💔

Imagina um The Last of Us Parte 3 com um visual assim.

I can't make out 90% of what the guy is saying because the music is so damn loud. Looks amazing though!

yet EA won’t apply this to the fifa game..

What is this guy’s problem? Is he antiglobalisation or something?

OMFG! I've never seen anything so realistic! Soon, we're not going to be able to distinguish between real or CGI.

That's insane
❤ Wow

I, as a Serbian have something to say. People think Serbs have a Russian accent whilst speaking English, example of it is Niko Belić, but this guy is on point. Plus, the guy couldn't look more Serbian, tall, narrow face like Djoković, the face gives of warrior vibes and it's just damn perfect. ❤
