Im not usually one to fawn over graphics, but holy shit these are some of the greatest looking realistically styled anthro character models I've ever seen. Idk if this is a marketplace asset or just a showcase, but it's so awesome
@.eiriksson8553 Trust me man, furries have been around long enough that anthro is a well established word to use for human-like animals such as this lol.
I guess it depends on whether you think of such characters as human-like animals or animal-like humans. “Anthropomorphic” is the colloquial catch-all term, but “theriomorphic” could be the technically correct one depending on the characters and/or setting in question.
Yes, but also no. Part of the issue is due to worlds being either toony or a game rip. As a result, a realistic avatar would be out of place. Granted... furries in Second Life somewhat solved this issue, and have a better balance in appearances not clashing with atmosphere.
@@AmberFoxxoThe problem isn't really the worlds. Rather, you need an avatar that matches an in between style (like a painting) or have multiple avatars depending on the area. Think of it like Kingdom Hearts: whenever A Nightmare Before Christmas is visited, Sora's outfit changes to match the area due to the heavily different aesthetics. Or if you are much older, Reboot's handling of matching areas: you basically want a version of yourself that matches the area. This is a thing I explored back when VRChat was still in its infancy when I worked for a competitor, as it really did bring up some interesting topics about how to keep a world inviting for the heavy mixture of avatars. In the end, to each their own.
Sorta. Helios was a VRchat alternative that used Unreal5 but it never gained traction. If furries really wanted this, they would have backed it better.
Honestly I feel this is a yes and a no. Some furries very much still prefer the more cartoony expressive like styles of anthro models over the more realistic looking ones. I mean both are cool and impressive in their own right and I do like the variety it offers. The foxes shown here gives me a sorta “Ready Player One” vibe to it if that makes sense.
Not only the fact it's generally hard to make anything realistic, but antho characters in particular are hard to make look right in a realistic style, so this is incredibly difficult to pull off. Huge props to the UE team.
@@syrup5940 it's pretty ironic the current worgen model is more realistic in the face area than most other attempts I've seen. It has facial muscles and it looks expressive which everyone else seem to fail at.

Would love to see these models in a small animation! fur is so on point its actually insane. It would look sick with a little bit of fancy lighting seeping through the fur. Keep up the good work!
Wow, I have been meaning to get back into unreal. I didn't know it was capable of this. The fox design actually harkens to designs of characters I've wanted to make "real" for a long time. I'm want to look into how you did this and maybe get off my lazy ass and actually make my characters finally. Honestly, your version of the demo is hell of a lot more compelling than what unreal actually came up with. Yes I get that making ultra realistic humans that are believable is a huge achievement. But honestly, this shows you can do much much more when not limited by simply being human.
Great work, love the proper anthros. One flaw: they're short one finger. Biologically, the four toes on a forepaw become the distal phalanges (fingers) while the dewclaw becomes the proximal phalange (thumb), if we're talking accurate evolutionary anatomy. And the hand wouldn't be bare skin with talons; it'd be furred with short, doglike nails and a pad on the pad of each fingertip and across the top of the palm. Feet would logically be human-shaped, four-toed, and follow the same pattern as the hand regarding pad placement (in case you even need that context). Hope this helps.
Изумительные лисички! Очень хорошо выглядит, ребят.

Woooow! That level of detail is mindblowing! I wonder if it's possible to use something like this for even more detailed Vtubing, and if mocap gear is necessary or the reference points/rigging would be able to translate to camera capture.
It could be used for vtubing, but you would need to do a few optimization. As those are Metahumans, they do have the same rig which is compatible with LiveLink Face and Metahuman Animation but also Arkit. We will show that soon I guess

It is just about the thickness. As most of the shots were far away, we made it a bit thick to avoid having too many of them. We should have made LODs for a closer shot and thats probably what we will do in the future. That being said yes it is strands, but not tubes. You can fake the tube aspect with a normal map, but we had issues with it on the last rendering, so we turned it off. Thats something we will improve in the future as well. Cheers
Also, we did render those shots with a quadro rtx 4000 with 8gb vram. It’s too limited to have more hairs, thats the reason why we made them thicker ;)
ok... i have no idea if ur trolling or not, but how the hell u got that fur to look like that in UE5!!???? i need a tutorial like... yesterday!! pls, there are 0 resources on this. The movement is so smoooooooth. Super congrats :))))) dude... where the link or the hood!!? :(((( this is too good
In 2018 I started a multi-year journey into learning Adobe After Effects, animation, VFX design, 100s of plugins that came alongside it just to create simple 2D animations, in hopes of making my own fantasy short film. I would have had to hire 3D modellers, background artists, character designers, texture painters. Now I can skip all of that and rig up realistic models and all I require is motion capture hardware and a custom model and I am good to go? This is an insane technology leap. I could create a randomly generated landscape with custom models in Unreal Engine 5.3, blend beautiful lighting, import premade animations all with a few touches of a buttons. Things that would have taken me years to learn, incorporate and fix. I am glad I postponed my project then as I theorized the technology would make my life easier in a few years and it did.
Thank you so much ! This was an internal test we did to see how far we could push Metahuman's rig and deformation system. We believe we can do even more and are already working on it. This is just the first step ;)
Even tho dmmo full dive is some years away,but could this tech on ue5.5 games be a thing?I love to see this on borderlands games,cyberpunk 2077 2,dead space games,gears of war games,Prince of Persia games,Spider-Man games,jrpg pg, action shooter\looter games ect??!
Also did ya know there was a kickstarter campaign,called zero codings?if just got fully funded awhile ago an only if ya applied ya only had to be on the higher tier awards an not have to pay at all,an ya can created own app live services an create games with gpt5 ect,ya can still apply but it would cost ya a little bit to start the application app services ect
0:19 Those dots for the rig. Reminds me of a class in Blender we had about putting characters in real world video clips. You pick color points for it to focus on as the ground and walls. Preferably such that stay in the shot the whole time. Feels like the rig system would be the same here, except in real time. Selecting a couple of points that remembers the color and pattern on your face. Then using the other dots for the most consistent repeat of the original, in order to follow the face. Such as the red color of your lips at the right corner. Then it follows that color along with a bounding box to compare the surroundings to make sure it's smooth and correct. Wish I remember the name of that technique. It was really cool.

Also, we did render those shots with a quadro rtx 4000 with 8gb vram. It’s too limited to have more hairs, thats the reason why we made them thicker ;)
@@francoist2142 wonderful work.. now I am curious, in which model program did you create the hair splines ?
@@lukarisisgaming For Snow and Chase the grooming was done in Houdini.
The power of Rocket Raccoon-level CG... in the palm of my hand
Late to the party but very excited with these results - good job to everyone involved! Can't wait to watch and learn what's next.
what more can one say other than WOW!
Pretty great editing of the tracking points, but even stellar design of those characters!
Tracking points?
this guy has no idea what hes talking about
@@swinny_Something tells me you don't either
This is honestly so impressive, *wow*
Can't wait to see what comes out of this in the future
😮 woou! Thanks for this stuff 🙏🏻 you absolutely brilliant! What tool do you use?) (I am a student, wanna to learn it)
yep! me toooooo!!!!)))
as a furry... mad respect for creating an amazing anthro character.
ok... i have no idea if ur trolling or not, but how the hell u got that fur to look like that in UE5!!????
i need a tutorial like... yesterday!! pls, there are 0 resources on this. The movement is so smoooooooth. Super congrats :)))))
dude... where the link or the hood!!? :((((
this is too good
Not fake. We made our custom hair shader, but the metahuman’s shader looks good too
This is insane. I can’t wait to see what people come up with and use this for.
nah that's not MetaHuman that's MetaFurry
props though!
The facial animation is amazing !!
Animated that tongue and you'll supercede them.
Bruh
The application of these in fantasy settings can be so surreal!
Better than AI
Wow these Starfox graphics look great
bro furries are gonna love this
Yes.
In 2018 I started a multi-year journey into learning Adobe After Effects, animation, VFX design, 100s of plugins that came alongside it just to create simple 2D animations, in hopes of making my own fantasy short film. I would have had to hire 3D modellers, background artists, character designers, texture painters. Now I can skip all of that and rig up realistic models and all I require is motion capture hardware and a custom model and I am good to go? This is an insane technology leap. I could create a randomly generated landscape with custom models in Unreal Engine 5.3, blend beautiful lighting, import premade animations all with a few touches of a buttons. Things that would have taken me years to learn, incorporate and fix. I am glad I postponed my project then as I theorized the technology would make my life easier in a few years and it did.
This is awesome 🎉
would 100% watch a show with these characters
This is so cool. Custom fox characters? Or are they available somewhere
thanks ! Custom fox ;)
This is awesome! I can't wait to see what comes of this
Next Gen Furry update just dropped.
This makes me more excited for the next stage of new game graphic designs, as someone who is about to do games development in college
Wow...this must have so many more views. Amazing. Is this a service or available for download or to learn anywhere?
Thank you so much ! This was an internal test we did to see how far we could push Metahuman's rig and deformation system. We believe we can do even more and are already working on it. This is just the first step ;)
Even tho dmmo full dive is some years away,but could this tech on ue5.5 games be a thing?I love to see this on borderlands games,cyberpunk 2077 2,dead space games,gears of war games,Prince of Persia games,Spider-Man games,jrpg
pg, action shooter\looter games ect??!
Also did ya know there was a kickstarter campaign,called zero codings?if just got fully funded awhile ago an only if ya applied ya only had to be on the higher tier awards an not have to pay at all,an ya can created own app live services an create games with gpt5 ect,ya can still apply but it would cost ya a little bit to start the application app services ect
@@megagreatgodlywhiteshark2929 I am not a games guy, so my curiosity was for using this in film making.
Dunno where this is gonna end, but either way thank you for doing it :p
I love anthro characters so anything involving them makes me happy
Furries: "Allow us to introduce ourselves"
Reminds me of Star Fox adventures. Fur texture was amazing, despite being on GameCube.
Nice 🎉
As a beginner Unreal dev, I would love some more behind the scenes insight into how you made this happen with Metahumans
They summoned the furries 😂😂
Your job with this was just stunning!!
furrys are gonna go wild with this one
Not just furries. Alot of nerds are excited about this.
@@Sairyswolf I'm both 😼
0:19 Those dots for the rig. Reminds me of a class in Blender we had about putting characters in real world video clips.
You pick color points for it to focus on as the ground and walls. Preferably such that stay in the shot the whole time.
Feels like the rig system would be the same here, except in real time.
Selecting a couple of points that remembers the color and pattern on your face. Then using the other dots for the most consistent repeat of the original, in order to follow the face.
Such as the red color of your lips at the right corner. Then it follows that color along with a bounding box to compare the surroundings to make sure it's smooth and correct.
Wish I remember the name of that technique. It was really cool.

This is insanely good! Thanks for sharing :D
to "Mobile" broooo what?
ahahah ! :D probably not with that level of quality though ;). But original MetaHuman have different level of detail so it could be possible.
