Unreal Engine–Powered Music Visualizer with MetaHuman Characters

This 30-second story-driven music visualizer was created for Punjabi rapper Real-Boss for his track “Baddie.”

The visualizer was designed to convey emotional contrast through color, character, and motion, using real-time CGI workflows. We developed two custom MetaHuman characters — a male artist character and a female CGI model — with fully custom outfits created in Marvelous Designer.

The narrative revolves around portraying the female character as a “red flag,” while visually representing the artist’s mental state through shifting backgrounds and tones.

The final visualizer consists of 10 cinematic shots, rendered entirely in Unreal Engine, focusing heavily on expressive character animation to make the performances feel alive and emotionally grounded.

Defined the emotional narrative where the female character represents a red flag, using red tones as her visual identity. For the artist, white and black backgrounds were used to represent peace, inner conflict, and emotional darkness.
