Metahuman Creation: Build Your Avatar Starting with 3D Scanning
Scanning the Human Body with Einstar
The webinar began with a step-by-step guide to scanning the human body with the Einstar 3D scanner. Undoubtedly, Mr Lagonigro shared how to set up the scanning parameters to achieve optimal scanning results. He chooses portrait scanning mode and hybrid aligning mode and sets the resolution to 0.2mm. Turning on the hair mode is very important as this function allows for easier capturing of black hair data.

Unveiling Design Tools: Unreal Engine, Blender and Paint 3D
After acquiring realistic 3D data, Mr Lagonigro led the participants to explore three powerful design tools: Unreal Engine, Blender and Paint 3D. Mr Lagonigro deftly demonstrated how these software could be harnessed to breathe life into the raw scans. Blender can help with file format conversions, such as importing 3D data in OBJ format and exporting it in FBX format for use in the Unreal Engine. Mr Lagonigro shows several steps to be accomplished in the Unreal Engine:
● Create Components
● Promote Frame
● Track Markers (Active Frame)
● MetaHuman Identity Slove
● Mesh to MetaHuman
Create "my metahuman" based on scanned 3D data
Attendees were then led through detailed steps to sculpt the model in Blender.

The synergy between the photorealistic capabilities of Unreal Engine, the versatile modeling of Blender, and the intuitive painting features of Paint 3D was highlighted as the key to achieving a truly immersive and believable digital creation.
From Virtual to Tangible: The Convergence in 3D Printing
As the webinar neared its conclusion, Mr Lagonigro shed light on transitioning from the virtual realm to the physical world through 3D printing. With a 3D printer, this 3D digital model was printed.
