Riddick: Stunning Animated Short | Created in Unreal Engine 5 | Vin Diesel

The Riddick animation starring Vin Diesel is here for your viewing pleasure. This project took approximately one month to complete. The main character was initially created using Character Creator and later converted into a MetaHuman using MetaHuman Creator to enable good facial animation in Unreal Engine. The supporting characters, John and Dal, are pre-made MetaHuman models only dressed in custom outfits. Some clothing pieces were purchased from premium packs, while others were downloaded online and fitted to the models using the MetaTailor program. The environment is a pre-made abandoned hospital scene. The animations were created using Move AI, an AI-based motion capture system, with a single camera. These animations were cleaned up in iClone. Facial motion capture was performed using the MetaHuman Animator feature in the Live Link Face app on an iPhone. Lighting and rendering were done in Unreal Engine, with final touches, including color grading and cinematic tones, added in After Effects. Subtitles were also created in After Effects. I hope you enjoy watching it. If you do, please share it in your stories and show it to your friends!
