Hey guys! So excited to share the first lookdev/facial rig test done by the amazingly talented Marcelo Vaz and André Antunes for an upcoming animated short film that I am honored to write and direct.
The test showcases our lead character in a pathtraced render in UE 5.3 running on a custom metahuman rig with a Metahuman Animator performance.
More to come soon!

Hi there @indystry,
Hope you’re well and having a wonderful week so far 
The character design for our dear MetaAlien is so rad! The eyes, hair/tentacles(?), and makeup color palette are all just stunning. Brilliant work 
Hello there @indystry !
This is a very interesting design, and the textures are beautiful. I’m very curious about this character and what they will be featured in! Will we be seeing more details in the show of a trailer or perhaps screenshots when more does come?
This short animated teaser is so amazing! Thank you so much for sharing @indystry! May we have the name of our beautiful alien lead? 
Thank you so much for the kind words as always! Happy to share the updates with you
Thank you so much for the curiosity to know more, you can follow me on my socials (links under the video) where I will be posting more tests. This is just the first test from this short. I am writing a 20 page script for this so we are just getting started!
Thank you!! Her name is Lyra. Haha i know, like the game. 
Felt short, quick and slightly off world-ish.
I agree; it does sound a bit off-world-ish, but it’s an excellent name for a beautiful specimen! I’m looking forward to seeing more of Lyra.
