How to Merge a Metahuman Animator Face Capture to a Body Tony Bowren 2025-08-12 | Metahuman Animator is a great way to record facial performances. Often people record the body motion at the same time, but what if that was not possible? This video goes over the steps to layer your face and head motion smoothly on top of existing body motion.
Unreal Engine 5 Virtual Production: Remote Control OSC Tony Bowren 2023-05-31 | How to take an OSC data stream and use it in the Unreal Engine 5 Editor. No Play required.
Virtual Production Unreal Engine 5.1: Driving Chaos Vehicles Tony Bowren 2023-01-12 | Virtual production needs often involve cars driving and multiple recorded elements all coming together in one shot. This video goes over how to use a drivable vehicle in Unreal Engine 5.1 to make recording in Take Recorder. It also shows how to combine previous takes into one level sequence and use that to create more complex shots where the performances layer on top of the previous work.It also goes through Take Recorder workflow and how to replace assets after they are recorded.#unrealengine5 #virtualproduction #ue5tutorial

How to update a source animation in Sequencer and keep your additive layers in Unreal Engine 5 Tony Bowren 2022-07-06 | Often when editing motion capture in sequencer, one creates a backwards solve and makes additive adjustment layers. If you need to import a new source, those edits can be lost. This video shows you how to keep those layers and update the source file.#unrealengine5 #controlrig #ue5 #animation #mocap
Unreal Engine Virtual Production: How to use Live Link Instance to simplify your Mocap session Tony Bowren 2022-05-24 | This video shows how a Live Link Instance node can simplify your virtual production sessions by not requiring access to animation blueprints for each character.
Unreal Engine 5 Animation import Pipeline and how to export to Maya and back Tony Bowren 2022-05-23 | This video goes over the basics of how to get animation into Unreal. It also demonstrates how to assemble those animations in sequencer as well as how to export that back to Maya for adjustments.This was part of the Australian Short Film Challenge 2 program.
How to export a MetaHuman body to Maya and reimport it back to Unreal Engine 5 Tony Bowren 2022-05-13 | I recently had to delete some faces on a MetaHuman body and bring that skeletal mesh back into Unreal. Along the way I ran into some issues and thought I would share the solutions.

Tony Bowren 2022-04-29 | This video will show you how to setup a virtual live link connection that reads values from an Xbox Controller. This will enable you do control object in Editor and not have to go into Play mode.Project file:epicgames.box.com/s/wfvrjoasr52phfftbkgejbpeql9kby5d
Pixy CMUcam5 Digital Camera: 3. Interfacing Arduino and Playstation Move with I2C Tony Bowren 2014-03-27 | Pixy CMUcam5 Digital Camera: 3. Interfacing Arduino and Playstation MoveIn this video I talk about connecting the Pixy camera to the Arduino using the I2C protocol and how to get accurate, reliable tracking with a Playstation Move controller.I also show how to setup a pair of Arduino / Processing programs to show the blob tracing in realtime.Pixy is a fast, low-cost vision sensor you can quickly "teach" to find objects, and it connects directly to Arduino and other controllers.

Oculus Rift and Razer Hydra in Tuscany Demo Tony Bowren 2013-04-04 | I show off my first tests of integrating the Hydra into the Tuscany Demo. Being able to look through the windows and crouch down makes the experience much more realistic. I use one hydra attached to the top head strap. The next version will use the the other controller to walk around and probably have a virtual hand for better reference.
Positional 3D Tracking with Razer Hydra and openFrameworks Tony Bowren 2013-01-23 | By definining a 3d space with the Hydra controller, I can create a custom glFrustum and make it appear as if the monitor is a window into another dimension. Hoping to add some homebrew position head and hand tracking to the Oculus Rift.
