Metahuman Animator has made AAA facial animation easy and cheap to create, but motion capture suits are still too expensive for many. However, there do exist some low-cost, easy-to-use full-body motion capture solutions, such as AI-based Move One. This is a detailed tutorial showing every step to creating a cinematic scene with Metahumans in Unreal Engine 5 using Move One and Metahuman Animator together, at the same time.

This tutorial should be very accessible to beginners. Every step is explained through commentary and shown through video demonstration. Please let me know what you think in the comments!
