New Features
Rapport Unreal Engine Plugin
The Rapport Unreal Plugin (RUV) is an Unreal Engine plugin that connects your Rapport project and drives character performances.
Through a direct connection between your Rapport project and Unreal Engine, the plugin enables real-time character animation and communication.
How It Works:
When someone speaks into their microphone, the plugin captures their voice and sends it to Rapport.
In response, Rapport returns synchronized speech and animation data.
This data drives your character’s movements and facial expressions, ensuring that the character’s speech and performance match the spoken words.
By using the Rapport Unreal Plugin, you can create lifelike, interactive digital characters for games, simulations, and virtual experiences.
Updates
Change to the Rapport Studio Workflow
Rapport Studio now follows a clear, structured four-step workflow.
New Workflow Steps:
Settings – Define the project name and type.
Choose Application Type – Determines:
✅ Customization options available in the Design phase.
✅ Preview and testing workflow in Demo & Integrate.
✅ The final integration process based on the selected platform.
Design – Customize characters, voices, and settings based on the chosen application type.
Demo & Integrate – Finalize, test, and prepare for deployment.
On the Design page, the ability to change background colours is now restricted when a Metahuman character is chosen for a Web-type application.
Application Type Lock: Once an Application Type has been selected during the Project Creation Workflow, it cannot be changed at a later stage, this is to maintain consistency in the design and integration process.
