STEP 1. Live Link Face<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

So before you do anything else, you need to go and download the Live Link Face app by Unreal Engine.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Make sure your computer and phone are connected to the same wireless network.<\/p>\n

Open Live Link Face and go into the settings<\/strong> (cog icon top left) and then click on Live Link<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Click on Add Target<\/strong> and put in your computer’s IP address<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 2 Unreal Set Up<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

So back in UE go into your Plugins<\/strong> with Edit >> Plugins. Search for ARKit and enable both Apple ARKit<\/strong> and Apple ARKit Face Support. <\/strong>UE will want to restart to take effect so go ahead and do that.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now open the Livelink<\/strong> tab with Window >> Live Link<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And make sure your phone is selected.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now select your character and go to the Default tab. Select the dropdown for LLink Face Subj<\/strong> and choose your phone from the dropdown. Then ensure the checkbox for LLink Face Head <\/strong>is ticked.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

File >> Save All<\/p>\n

Press Play >> Simulate and start talking into your phone to see it reproduced by your Metahuman!<\/p>\n
