CC5 HD Facial Profile Introduction

The G5 characters in Character Creator have been upgraded not only in visual appearance but also in facial performance. The HD facial profile enables more realistic and expressive human facial animations, and it is fully compatible with Unreal Engine’s facial expression system. This means you can create Unreal-ready facial animations directly within Character Creator by its Face Key, Facial Puppet and Facial Mocap features.

The HD Facial Profile increases morph sliders from 160 to 390 (including Facial Expressions, Corrective Expression and Non-linear sliders) for corrective and realistic facial expressions:

  • Facial Expression Morph Sliders: 262. Produce complete facial expressions.
  • Corrective Expression Sliders: 128. Mainly correct the animation flaws by different combination of expression sliders, especially the mouth.
  • Non-linear Sliders: The HD Facial Profiles introduces 52 non-linear sliders for realistic facial motion capturing results by enhancing the expression details and fixing expression flaws by different combination of facial feature expression morphing sliders.
