Translating a real performer's likeness into a digital MetaHuman — using photogrammetry to generate the source mesh, then rebuilding it as a real-time character inside Unreal Engine.

High-resolution photos from multiple angles fed through photogrammetry software to produce a detailed 3D mesh of the performer's face. The mesh became the reference for the MetaHuman creation, with manual retopology and rigging steps to make the result animation-ready.

The pipeline tests photogrammetry → MetaHuman as a route for getting recognizable, living-person likenesses into a real-time virtual production environment with high fidelity.
