Last year we started testing Mesh to Metahuman with facial animation. We created a scan of one of our colleagues using photogrammetry used that data to build our custom digital double. The Mesh to Metahuman is very efficient and fast when it comes to quickly getting high fidelity digital humans. At the same time, it has some limitations as well.
In order to achieve likeness, realism and do justice to the Indian skin tone which is currently absent from the meta human creator, we used Substance painter to add those characteristic details and achieve likeness.
Here are the different stages of texturing, look development and lighting.
