MetahumVisemeCurves
This is simple Pose Asset with visemes for Epic's MetaHuman face skeleton. I used it for my Lip-Sync plugin.
- mh_lipsync_mapping_anim - source animation
- PA_Metahuman_Lipsync - pose asset with 12 visemes:
AA - LS_A
SH, CH, ZH - LS_SH
I - LS_IH
O - LS_OH
UW - LS_U
B, M, P - LS_B
F, V - LS_V
D, S, T, L - LS_D
E - LS_Eh
G, K - LS_G
N - LS_N
R - LS_R
-
Import MetaHuman character to your UE4/UE5 project.
-
Open MetahumVisemeCurves project.
-
In Content Browser under [Content/MetaHumans/Common/Common/Mocap] select mh_lipsync_mapping_anim and PA_Metahuman_Lipsync.
-
RMB click to open context menu and select Asset Actions --> Migrate. Select "Content" folder of your project as a destination. Don't overwrite existing assets.
Done.
Note
If head moves down-up-forwad-back with the pose asset applied, open Face_Archetype_Skeleton and in its bones hierarchy change translation retargeting option for all bones except root and pelvis to "Skeleton".
Note for Ynnk Voice Lip-Sync
For owners of my plugin (Ynnk Voice Lip-Sync): you don't need this Pose Asset anymore. Go to menu Windows --> Visems Pose Asset Builder. In the dialog window select your face mesh ([MetaHumanName]_FaceMesh or default Face_Archetype), select ArKit mapping asset (mh_arkit_mapping_pose) and then click "Generate". It creates pose asset in the same folder with skeletal mesh. Then use it instead of PA_Metahuman_Lipsync. And make sure beforehand that mh_arkit_mapping_pose isn't broken.
AnimationTargets for this generated pose asset are a bit different:
((YV_KG, (Targets=("LS_G"))),(YV_BMP, (Targets=("LS_BMP"))),(YV_DSTL, (Targets=("LS_DST"))),(YV_Oh, (Targets=("LS_O"))),(YV_WU, (Targets=("LS_Uw"))),(YV_FV, (Targets=("LS_VF"))),(YV_Ee, (Targets=("LS_Eh"))),(YV_R, (Targets=("LS_R"))),(YV_ChShZh, (Targets=("LS_SH"))),(YV_N, (Targets=("LS_N"))),(YV_Ih, (Targets=("LS_Ih"))),(YV_OtherConsonant, (Targets=("LS_DST"))),(YV_OtherVowel, (Targets=("LS_Eh"))),(YV_Ah, (Targets=("LS_Aa"))))
Remember, neither PA_Metahuman_Lipsync or this generated asset is perfect. They're ok for start, but I'm sure it's possible to create better visemes for MetaHuman with proper efforts.
