Team Monolith awesome work, I just played a session and like the customization feature most! Some question:

- will I ever be able to clone my favourite celeb into the game? like with FaceGen -> Genesis model -> VAM?
- metahuman -> home together in the future?

Happy you like it :)

What you want would only be possible via modding. You could do that right now. Make a new face texture and shape and mod it into the game. But that is a bit hard if you are not a rather skilled modder. We consider integrated mod support in the future (but even then it won't be easy).

hello , i was wondering how it works the face expressions on the animations, it changes when I select different ones during the scene or I have to stopped and then select an expression. ?

You weren't kidding about the learning curve, I still haven't been able to get through that AES encryption.
Frankly, it serves me right for thinking for even a second that I could hop from modding textures in Gamebryo and Source to Unreal 5 without issues.

yeah Im not much into the world of modding. I just tried to make my own celeb clons in VAM by facegen which uses some older genesis model from daz3d but end results had to be tweaked too much for me to make a good replica char.

I assume UE5/HT doesnt use Genesis models. When you say make a new texture/shape and mod it into the game, maybe you can give me another hint where to start?!

For the metahuman thing: as long as there is the possibilty to get a metahuman celeb replica into the game I am very hyped for this project. If possible maybe you can direct me into the right direction for this so I wold skip doing textures/shapes and go straight to the metahuman mod bymyself :D

i.e.: this looks crazy realistic: would it be possible to create this char in metahuman with deepfacelive, export the model to whatever is compatible to UE5/HT and mod it into the game? If so, can you give baseline for me to research further?

Sadly metahumans are not 1:1 compatible with our characters, different skeletons, and so on. But with some skill, you could use it as a base for modding.

I don't wanna kill your guy's hopes but these videos have a deepfake applied to the video, so it is not actually what you would see in-game. It is put onto the video afterward. It would introduce a really big latency for games, so it is only a thing for videos right now.
Here a example of what it does with a video side-by side: . See how different they look? At this point the deepfake of the could be applied to the face we already have in the game, if it was possible for games...

Was wondering when the new version will be available for no patreon members :p
" Updates will be released on a monthly basis around the 15th of every month." :unsure:
first tease and then cash in with small improvements for which you have to wait a long time on purpose. nothing new here.
