SUMMARY:Austin Unreal Engine Meetup, October 2026
DESCRIPTION:Austin Unreal Engine Meetup will have a meetup 7:30 to 10 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8. RSVP  ( https://communities.unrealengine.com/events/details/epic-games-austin-presents-building-living-characters-with-unreal-engine-amp-ai/ )on the official Meetup site or on the Unreal community page ( https://communities.unrealengine.com/austin/ ), and fill out the survey ( https://forms.gle/NF9V2EakADhhmBPb8 ) to give feedback about the event programming. The featured topic of discussion will be “Building Living Characters with Unreal Engine & AI,” featuring speakers Vero Lyn Esque and Wesley De La Rosa.\nVero Lyn Esque and Wesley De La Rosa are back. Following up on their June Unreal Engine character pipeline showcase, they’re riding the AI filmmaking wave — now with new AI Film sponsorships — and bringing mythosXYZ characters Ember and Wes through the portal with them.\nThey’ll showcase how live-action actors and MetaHuman characters move through an AI filmmaking workflow, from scripts and performance to continuity, cinematics, lighting, and story — blending Unreal Engine, traditional 3D, character turnarounds, and emerging AI tools along the way.\nAI pipeline? Yeah, we had the same question. So we started testing it.\nIf you’re curious about where Unreal, 3D, live action, and AI actually meet in a working creative pipeline, come see it in motion. We’ll walk through the tools, show the experiments, share what’s working, and probably reveal a few things that got weird before they got good.\nWesley will also share early acting and action-layout tests using a live performer with a digital character overlay to explore timing, interaction, and performance.\nActors. MetaHumans. AI. Controlled chaos.\nLet’s go.\n(mythosXYZ, in partnership with FilmSpark.AI for this showcase.)\nAbout Vero Lyn Esque:\nWith more than 20 years experience, Vero Lyn Esque is a full-spectrum experiential producer and creative director specializing in immersive, story-driven events that transform brand narratives into meaningful, unforgettable experiences.
