This time around, I’m doing my best Tom Hanks impression while testing out the Oculus lip sync library on our game’s characters. This involves taking the visemes that the lip sync library provides, and mapping them to a texture index to animate the mouth.

For those that aren’t familiar with the context, this is based on a Woody (Toy Story) character test using a Tom Hanks’ line from “Turner and Hooch”. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJbw7ySYvQo

David Wyand Speaks at Toronto Unreal Engine & Friends #4

Gnometech — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 14:58:26 +0000

Last night, David Wyand gave a presentation to the Toronto UE4 community about his approach to building a character’s locomotion art and IK for our multiplayer VR FPS, The Field. He talked about driving a game character’s full body give only head and hands input, while the character walks, runs, climbs, crouches, and uh prones (?) along. And to do all this with minimal network traffic. The provided solution is based on art, Blueprints, and code.
