AKUMA: A MetaHuman Short Film

AKUMA is an atmospheric short demonstrating the capability of Unreal Engine’s MetaHuman tool for storytelling.

Written and directed by Dimension creative director Rob McLellan, AKUMA was created in collaboration with Vicon, who provided mocap and Shōgun software.

"By combining the latest in VFX motion capture, digital humans and real-time development, Vicon and Dimension are collaborating to produce AKUMA to give a glimpse into a future of filmmaking and virtual entertainment that’s efficient."
