"I lost my sanity making this video" I feel you man! 😅 I had plans to make courses on different character creation workflows, but after finishing the first one I was exhausted... 😆 Congratulations on a well-made tutorial! Love the pace, the thoroughness and of course your humor. 🙂 And thank you so much for the shout-out!

[@badxstudio]

Hahahaha bro we had at least 2 breakdowns whilst scripting and recording this video. You know trying to clarify complex concepts is the most difficult tasks. Dont know how you pulled through groom and clothing and so much more 😂 how long did it take u btw?? And also Thank you for the love brother.

[@romanbruni]

@@badxstudio this level of character 'inside mechanics' requires a high focus into the desired end character design and the walking guide through character mechanics forest is reaally easy to get lost... good you have 2 minds ! lol

[@realtimegraphx]

@@badxstudio It took me longer than I initially thought. 😅 all in all I worked for about 4 months to finish the course.

[@truehighs7845]

@@badxstudio Thanks a lot guys, great video, but really too difficult, imagine having to do several characters like that, you lose weeks.

[@divaschhetry]

We would love to see your Metahuman custom clothes tutorial, and we appreciate your hard work. didn't expect that custom horn moment. 😂😂

[@html2664]

Guys, this is so impressive! Thank you so much for your hard work! Never seen better tutorials!

[@ScottBarrettihq]

this was simply spectacular. one of the best hours I've spent watching a tutorial. Truly what was needed now as the process for customizing metas are a mystery for most. Well done.

[@MrThomasgeorgegroves]

I've spent years piecing this info together from random vids and forums, so I really appreciate how much time you've spent collating all of this into one easily digestible and accessible video. Amazing work, thank you x

11:18 - If 'Import Morph Targets' doesn't appear, carry on with the steps; import file path > reimport base mesh with new file. Once the mesh is imported, the 'Import Morph Targets' button should appear (if it doesn't, close the window and open it again). Then tick the 'Import Morph Targets' box and click 'Reimport Base Mesh' . The new morph target should be in the morph targets tab (again, close the window and open it again if it doesn't appear straight away). Hope this stops someone from freaking out like I did :) Great tutorial though guys, super easy to follow❤

Will it work in 5.4?
