Unlocking Real-Time Animation with MetaHuman Livelink Kit in iClone

The MetaHuman Livelink Kit is a powerful tool that allows you to seamlessly integrate real-time animation data into your iClone projects. To get started, it's essential to set up your MetaHuman blueprint correctly. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this.

First, copy and paste the dummy models from your iClone content folders into the corresponding folders within your Unreal project. Next, copy and paste the Livelink folders into the Plugin folders inside your Unreal project. Reallusion provides these files as part of the LiveLink plugin and Dummy models, which are retargeted MetaHuman bodies.

Before diving into iClone, make sure you've downloaded and installed the necessary plugins. Having a clear plan in place for what you want to capture and how the environment will interact with your animation is also crucial. We recommend creating a simple scene with props like a chair, table, lights, and a laptop to get started.

It's also essential to block out your scene or have the final version ready before jumping into motion capture. This will ensure a smooth workflow and help you achieve the desired outcome. With these steps in place, you'll be well on your way to unlocking real-time animation capabilities with the MetaHuman Livelink Kit in iClone.
