Technical requirements
In terms of computer power, you will need the technical requirements detailed in Chapter 1 and the MetaHuman plus the Unreal Engine mannequin that we imported into UE5 in Chapter 2.
You will also need an iPhone and a stable Wi-Fi connection to install plugins.
Let’s look at that iPhone requirement a little more. You will need to have an iPhone X or newer, or an iPad Pro (3rd generation) or newer. This is because (unlike other phones, such as Android ones) they have a built-in depth camera, which is necessary for motion capture.
You will also need a long cable – approximately 2 meters – because it is best to have your iPhone on charge during motion capture sessions as the process is quite battery consuming.
