Welcome mate :) using latest ue but this link for daz to ue is the latest for 5.4 . Check link in discription . This one will work and yeah daz 4.22 or whatever the latest is to:) have a great weekend :)

The retargeting system in ue5.4 is one click:) it’s awesome. I show you how to do it in my make this free series part 1. hope this helps mate :)

Thank you mate:) I appreciate it. And yes I’m making one :) it takes time but it will come out when I manage to finish it up:) have a great weekend :)

Daz to unreal plugin has been around for five or six years. There's more to making the characters work than just importing them, especially if you want believable bending and 'physics'.

I totally agree with this. Art has always been about sharing etc. a very different mindset from the filthy suite way of thinking. There still many suites destroying things but generally it works different to other money fed business :) epic has do e a lot to pioneer this:) make a ton of money by giving. What a crazy concept :)

Sure but it sure does save a ton of time :) more and more we get to concentrate on the art more then the technical:)

UE is awesome . Have a good weekend mate :)

Thank you my man:) have a good weekend

Yeah I’ve got a massive tutorial coming out doing just that:) it’s gonna be epic:) ha e a good weekend :)

Ha :) your welcome mate :) thanks for the kindness. Yeah ue is a big one indeed. I’ve been using it for 10 years and I still get lost :) have a good night

@@imagineeverything Thanks man, you too! :) Btw, I really hit the wall! What i want to do is to play the animation in front of a camera, the metahuman shall move like that, i got an amimation from that, i can change it with the control rig and get a sick animation, i can blend in with others. I found one program that works really good. (i followed this turtorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ2wlWCChqyJr6s) The cool thing is, the camara signal is reduced and so the animation is much cleaner. I hate it when the char is bugging arround, that doesnt happend here. The only problem, I cant transporte it to my meta human, because, that third program that shall transport the signal to UE5 just doesnt work (not on UE5.03 and on newer) ^^ i spend 8h yesterday ^^

Hey mate:) haha I’m kinda lost on what your looking to do? You want to export animation to MH . From that cam thingy. I don’t know haha. If you can export that animation as fbx then yes you can use it on MH :)

That’s nice to hear mate:) glad it helped:) thank you and welcome to the channel:)

Thank you to for the nice message:)

Hey mate. No hair at all or hair only closeup

@@imagineeverything no hair at all

@@snap-n-shoot Ah interesting. Is the groom in the scene though? The nodes in UE? If you see it but its not showing then Im not to sure. But if there no groom nodes on your model then maybe its not importing the groom. Honestly I would try re importing. Or a different model to see. If its the same then something is wrong with your MH in unreal. Delete MH and try reinstall it.

Hey mate. Can you explain a little more in detail whats happening? So you always need to Export the Character first then when exporting animation you still need to export it with the mesh

@@imagineeverything hmm when i'm trying to export the model (animation) it just appears black with no mesh -- hmm I'll keep trying ; might try going daz -> blender -> unreal

@@Gester143 I have a new video coming later today on how to do this using UE 5.4 and Daz. This may help you:) Comes out 5PM Berlin time

@@imagineeverything thank you!! no rush at all

It’s up mate if you need it :)

Ha yeah man. These are pretty high res ones. Using them sparingly or low res ones for the BG etc. I guess you just gotta be careful and optimize them as needed:) They can get massive if your not careful:)

Hey mate:) Thank you fir this message:) Thats really nice of you. Its been really nice having you here and I appreciate it all buddy:) Have yourself a great weekend to:)

Depends. Be sure but a desktop? Desktop is fine. Can be a bit expensive but they are getting more and more compressed and more feasible to use and we seeing them more and more in games today.

Thank you:) I appreciate it mate:) have a great weekend:)

Yeah love it. There is another one someone mentioned and it’s pretty darn good to :)

Hello mate :) yeah ue is nothing short of incredible. It’s literally a playground for artists to do and create anything in realtime:) no rendering required :) get into it and you’ll love it.

Thank you for the awesome comment mate:) I highly appreciate it :) have a great weekend :)

Hey:) I take it your animation is in a sequencer ? Right click the animation and you will see options. There is one saying stay in place or hold last frame or something like that :) that’s probably the one your after :) hope that helps

@@imagineeverything no

No what? Anyway use a sequencer you’ll have so many more options to control your animations

@@imagineeverything using sequencer and something callend as belnd animation right, where u have to joint to the last clip something like that?

Yeah you don’t have to join it. Just use a sequencer for your animations then you can get more options to control them from there

Ha . Dammit your right . That bastart ariiii changed it. Git giit ari ya filthy suited bastart:) thanks mate I’ll change it

Glad it helped mate :) have a great weekend

Thank you my friend :) I have a whole series „build this now“ showing how to build the scene for free

3080ti , Ryzen 9 12 core 24 thread. 32 mem . Fast but not incredible

@@imagineeverything my specs are i5 12th gen Arc a750 8gb 16 gb mem Can my pc do these fx?

What’s your graphics card?

@@imagineeverything intel arc a750

That’s gonna be the reason you can’t run it :(

Sure you can mute it or even save it out to reattach later, or bake animation to the rig. In 5.4 you can use both at the same time :) I’ll do a tutorial on it :) but you can save the rig and keep adding to it. Attach it when you need etc. it’s very versatile.

@@imagineeverything thanksss

Hey mate :) yes you can use any animations on any other rig. You just need to retarget them. I got tutorials on both but ue 5.4 is a breeze. Check out my build this now series first vid. As far as blender and ue go. The rotation. In ue 5.4 you can set that gizmo to work like blender or Maya. Forgot what it’s called but look up gizmo for animation settings in ue 5.4 . I’ll do a quick tutorial on this but you can find it fast:) hope this helps :)

Thanks mate:) I’ll take a look into this but you can add your own tiling nodes which can scale if you need to. But sure they have it somewhere in the node . Hope this helps :)

Hope your well mate and thank you :) ❤️

@@imagineeverything All is well and I hope the same for you! I look forward to sharing what I've been working on with you😁

Awesome mate:) looking forward to it

Ha:) yeah . It feels like the usual here. Time running out, budget blown, get something out now and we will fix it along the way. I’m truly hoping they deliver on the beta and more . Beta was so damn promising. If that’s your idea of a rude comment then I can only assume your a good kind person in reality:) your rudeness is my kindness:) have a great day mate:)

Yeah true. Should have a lot more features. It’s a new company so I’m hoping they keep adding a ton more but I agree . It’s very lacklustre at the moment. No denying it needs a ton more features to make it worth while

Following

It’s in the marketplace under free assets. I think permanently free or watch my vid I give the name. Can’t remember and not at home :) it’s all there guys:) have fun :)

Realistic starter VFX pack Vol 2 This is the name of the free pack:)

@@imagineeverything thanks mate🥰

@@marvelgamerstv5847 Sure thing mate:) have a good one:)

That’s great to hear :) thank you. Yea it works exactly the same in unreal. I’ll be doing a tutorial on that but may take a bit of time. :)

The greatest man on earth has arrived:) thanks my man :) life this side has been so busy but I would love a catchup sometime man:) miss you my french bro :)

Metahuman installs a lot of files. If you have deleted some then it’s going to be corrupt. Best bet is to try import a new human and it should add all the files back. If not then delete unreal and reinstall it from scratch I guess

@@imagineeverything Importing a new metahuman does not help, the option is to completely remove the anril, but how can you save the project in 5.3? Are there really no other options for removing a metahuman?

Yes but you need to know where everything is. But just reimporting another one should fix it

I’m away for a week. Best bet is to uninstall daz completely and reinstall the latest version :) hope that helps

@@imagineeverything thank you:)

Let me know if it worked :)

Ha :) what’s up mate :) yeah it’s very different to the beta. I’m not to sure what gap this fills in all honesty . Not with the current release anyway. Beta had a lot more. Seems to have all been stripped which is very disappointing. I like to give the be of it of the doubt. Let’s give it time and see where it goes but for now . It doesn’t really fit any gap

Yeah the beta felt pretty amazing but this version seems massively stripped back. Feels like a NPC maker right now. Cant export the hair groom and many other things not working or there. For me personally this needs a major update as I cant really find a use for it as of yet besides a fun toy for now:)

This made my night mate:) massive love back to you :) thank you

Character creator is great but damn you need a ton of things to have full control. Its so irritating as it feels so hard to figure out everything you need. Feels like its on purpose to be honest. Its a cool tool though. Daz can also get expensive. This reblium is no where near what these other two can do but its cheap. Lacks alot of features though. Well enjoy CC. Its a pretty sweet tool. Be wise with what you purchase for it though.

@@imagineeverything no I feel exactly like you do. I think I will be asking for a refund to be honest. Our needs are very simple for now and yes I agree it feels like it is all about money.

Yeah was a preorder price. But in all honesty It lacks alot of features right now. It needs time to mature a bit. I think CC what you chose is a good option for now. Daz is even better but you really need to know what to buy before getting into Daz as it can cost you a fortune. I have a get into Daz starter be clever vid if you ever decide getting into Daz.

Yeah was a preorder price . Check out my latest vid though if you thinking of buying it and see what made it in the release. Seems like it still needs time to get all its features:)

There is a familiar name:) how are you:) thank you. That’s really nice of you to say:) I do have a bit of a crazy imagination:) sometimes it’s an awesome thing but sometimes it haunts me to 🥹

Tree fiddi haha:) this person gets it :)

Hey and thank you for the nice message. Hmmm tears, sweat, mud and dirt spreading on the body. That’s a lot :) hmmmm. From for tears but they need to be animated . Blend shapes. Mud and dirt are textures with a mask to a image those to. Let me think about this:) sounds like fun but may take a while if I make this vid :) thanks for the suggestions mate :)

Hey thank you for the kind comment:) awesome to see it helps a few:) thank you for the message :)

Also, just a heads up - if you read the license terms on their site, we can’t actually use these characters in games etc without a “pro” license. And there is no such thing right now. So… yeah.

That’s good news mate:) as long as they keep going and adding I think it could become something useful:) thanks for the info :)

Yeah in all honesty this isn’t a not a great move on their behalf. But maybe they change this. As this rule feels like greed. Made by something wearing a suite hiding behind its gold watch . Let’s see

Different uv,s so you can use other skins but not easily at all. More effort then it’s worth. Clothes yea you can use metatailor or blender to add any clothes to any of these character :) ari is in the corner the wee bastert

I like to give the benefit of the doubt here. New company and all but they definitely need to work on this and add in all the things in the beta:) let’s see where it goes :) have a good one mate

If the death mask girl is representative of an igc/npc I'm more worried about what op thinks good is. Over here thinking that's Netflix's love death robots level character detail versus the barely animated stamps you get in games like rimworld for pawns. But then they showed the same character and like yeah the op might be right.

Your an English teacher right? An English professor? Your English is so well written my little brain has to read it multiple times before the spark lights up:) love it:) me no so good English is. I always know who you are just by your word structure:) and my answer to your statement is ….yes. Can’t go wrong with yes .. or no…..(all bases covered….. I think😌. Have a a great day and I look forward to your next riddle:)

Hello mate. Yeah for sure but I think those that use these kinda things as bases and take them to next levels using zbrush, blender etc and then add their own textures etc can break that mold. Just depends on how far your willing to take it:) for the most part people will just make what’s there giving it that same kinda look feel:) have a good weekend :) thanks for the message :)

Hello mate. Yeah I got headshot 2. Meh . Mesh to metahuman I have a few tutorials on. Its not perfect but it creates really nice characters. MH has the most detail and res for sure:) Its really good for Blender:)
