Finally found some time  to further explore the frontlines of Virtual Fashion related technology. After working with @epic Metahuman's for a while - I missed using the flexible avatar creation & posing tools of @reallusion iClone software. Especially since I'm planning to focus more on complex artistic compositions.

So I started exploring how to use the best of both - where I used a fully rigged Character Creator body as a basis, did posing and animations in iClone and finished off with Metahuman details -  like eye shaders, hair, eyebrows etc. All was then rendered in Realtime in UnrealEngine 4.26. Below is a screencapture from UE's editor - it's a tryout, don't mind small bugs.

After adding appealing lighting & compositions,  I'm surprised about the progress this worklfow is providing in Realtime. Imagine adding realtime fashion to the scene ....

Thought I'd share this hybrid solution insight, let me know what you think!
