Real-Time AI Conversations & Facial Animation for Reallusion Characters | Convai UE Tutorial

In this tutorial, we show you how to enable real-time lip sync and facial animation for @reallusion Character Creator 5 (CC5) avatars using Convai’s @UnrealEngine plugin. By combining high-fidelity Reallusion characters with Convai’s conversational AI pipeline, you can create fully interactive avatars that see, hear, and speak with incredible realism. The integration is powered by NeuroSync, our in-house AI model that analyzes audio in real-time to produce synchronized blend shapes. This allows your character to deliver nuanced facial expressions and accurate lip sync that adapts dynamically to AI-generated voice output. We will walk you through the entire workflow: from exporting your avatar with the correct settings in Reallusion's Character Creator to configuring the "Chatbot" and "FaceSync" components inside Unreal Engine. By the end of this video, you will have a conversational lipsyncing Reallusion character ready for training simulations, interactive NPCs, XR experiences, and brand avatars.
