How to Replace the Mannequin with a Metahuman in Unreal Engine 5

[@GorkaGames]

[@davidw6257]

FOR THOSE USING 5.1 - If you open up the skeletal mesh, click on skeleton (top right (Blue icon)) then on the left there is Retarget Sources, add the metahuman body in the top one, and in the bottom the SK_mannequin you can restart without the crashes

[@davidw6257]

*retarget

[@magicimaginations]

Will you do a video for 5.1? I broke my game trying to bring in my metahuman. it says skeltalmesh has been depracated, use component/meshasset/getskinned instead. I've come from a few years of Unity thought I'd try UE5 but omg both are bad when it comes to having billions of deprecated stuff going from old to newer versions, my poor brain lol.

i only watch 3 of your videos, unlike other channels, you always get to the point, love it, deserve a subscribe

[@alex_vie]

Honestly I'm really shocked how hard it is to replace basically an already existing structure - the mannequin - with an system-own character from meta humans which should have logically the same structure. I hope there will be time saving and developer friendlier solutions in the future. At least - thanks for doing that video. It would be almost impossible to find that out!!

[@GorkaGames]

Thanks man, yeah the process is pretty hard for a "relative" simple task. As it uses the same skeletal mesh etc

[@IllGib]

Probably because Metahuman it's a modular system and he doesn't collapse the model when exported. It's great if you wanna have the same modularity into the game, like changing clothes or hair/beard without much hassles, it simply require some bp variables and branches instead of a scripted c++ or such system. Just speculating though, i still have to put my hands on, and i'm curious to see if there's a "overall quality" settings to make less realistic characters.

[@guilhermenaco]

Sure, is incredible complicated regarding is the same developer doing the same stuff. But thanks for the video, is well done!

[@RickHenderson]

The problem is all about bones. Metahuman and the Unreal mannequins do not have the same skeleton. Rigging, meshes, and weight painting is more complicated then you would think, but still all necessary. Part of retargetting is doing the weight painting for you. I think.

[@robertcrystals]

[@JeffersonDonald]

Would you have to deal with the physics collision asset and cloth weight painting to get rid of the clothing penetration?

[@GorkaGames]

yeah the clothing penetration is something that is happening when you combine full animations with a metahuman, and you could just increse the torso`s scale slightly to hide the effect. However the right way can be to custom mesh paint the inside shoulder. Because using a physics collision could cause lots of artifacts if its not done properly, but give it a go!

[@jasonwilson3460]

Hi, great tutorial, but I noticed that the character's arms are molded through the clothes (the model of the arms goes through the model of the clothes), how can I fix this?

[@UniqueUsernamesAreDumb]

A tip for those struggling to align the mesh. Before you start adding/replacing Skeletal Meshes. Remove the ABP (Animation Blueprint) from the Manny/Quinn model. And then import your metahuman skeletal meshes in then and align it to the un-animated Manny/Quinn model. You can easily go down a rabbit hole by trying to line-up your un-animated mesh. To an animated torso because when you replace the Manny/Quinn model, it automatically inherits the default animation blueprints pose and position.

[@Pigeonsleeve]

Nice tutorial! You might want to call the animation from the event graph, linking your skeletal meshes to a set master pose component node instead of just linking an anim blueprint in the anim class section, it can cause desync between the different parts of the body

[@GorkaGames]

Thank you!! Yeah good tip! I actually didnt think about it

[@Fabi_1987]

Can you explain how to do it?

[@DreamingInSlowMotion]

Fellow noob here, would also love an explanation

[@DreamingInSlowMotion]

@@Fabi_1987 Figured it out! Just go into the blueprint for your character and open the construction script. Add a Set Master Pose Component node. For the New Master Bone Component, drag and drop your main Mesh that everything else is attached to. Then for the Target, attach the face, torso, feet, and legs. The rest of the face features are already attached to the face and should be fine. Hope this helps!

I found a solution. In the MetaHuman blueprint (UE5 or above) you can "append" the file to the SDK_Mannequin blueprint and retarget all animations without doing the things in this tutorial (when you do it you only need to make sure u put the MH align to the mannequin and in game settings change the starting character from the mannequin to the mh)its a little bit late but tomorrow i can put with a little more detail the steps @@kazbuks

[@GorkaGames]

Thank you man!! I really appreciate it! Yeah so because the metahuman is built from different body parts, the t-shirt could be clipping around sometimes. A good fix is to increase slightly the characters t-shirt, so that it stops clipping through, however it can be challenging to end up with a good result. So another way to avoid the shoulders clipping through is by mesh painting the inner skin of the character (but it isnt the most ideal one). And lastly is by changing the animations so that the arms are more separate from the Metahumans body. So yeah I will be doing a tutorial soon about changing his animations! Thanks a lot!

Hey hi! Thanks for the tutorial, wondering if someone find a fresh solution to the clothes going inside the body... I fixed the arms changing to quinn´s animation BP in my metahuman's skeletal mesh but not the chest.... it s so anoying :(

[@kappkannn]

I'm a newbie, and after watching this video I had the same problem but I did find a fix! If you transform the "y" location of the face from "0" to "-1" and change the scale of the torso's 'y' value to between 1.05-1.09, it will resolve this. This makes the head lower ever so slightly, while slightly increasing the hoodie's size. I found I had to mess with the scale and location for awhile, but this seems to work for me perfectly, and it does not change the overall appearance of the MetaHuman! Hope this helps!!

good, thanks. I'm trying to learn UE5. without knowing, I'd have gathered that this would have been a one shot drag and drop exercise. The need to manually setup the whole meta human by body part was a shock. In my ignorance as a newbie, I cannot see why it isn't smart enough to do those steps automatically. Because the character profile and animation from the default mannequin is all the same. This software has layers upon layers of features and settings though, so I know it's because I'm missing something.

[@GorkaGames]

Yeah UE5 is a huge software that has many layers everywhere. Yeah, I also hope that in the future they make easier the integration from the Metahuman to the Mannequin, but let's see, thanks for watching!

​@@GorkaGames Hey, I actually went through these steps earlier and got it working really well thanks for the tutorial! I had some inconsistencies with the tut - my character was basically floating in a T-pose whereas yours had the arms moving initially once you added med_unw_body - the ABP Quinn C animation class wasn't selected on mine for some reason. Also I guess more explanation on that last part where we edit the control rig of the mannequin would be cool - that bit was like entering the matrix and I am just happy it worked lol. There's one thing I'm having issues with - under a rectangle light with distance field shadows selected, only my characters hair is casting shadows! Any idea what it is about the hair which works, while the body / legs etc aren't casting a shadow? And one thing I'm curious about... if I want to add footsteps etc to the walking and running animations - it shows the mannequin mesh and not my metahuman - is it easy to fix that so I can watch my character in these animations instead?

It was making the text so big, it made it appear to only have one option when there were several. It was my fault! I set it back to 1 and I now see them. Sorry to have bothered you! The tutorial is great!

@@NostromoVA Im glad you could find the issue! Yeah sometimes the text inside the engine can mess up if you have different font sizes. Thanks for your support!

any help for when the hair stays static and doesn't follow? I am using my ABP_RPGCharacter instead of ABP_quinn for the anim class. I added the control rig to the ABP_RPGCharacter and was able to get all of my animations to work. I tried this on a 3rd person blank project and got the hair to work fine after changing the LOD, but for some reason its not working with the ABP_RPGCharacter

Hello, i followed your tutorial completely and everything works as expected. However, my sound effects that I added within the animations are now happening 4 times at once because they are on the skeleton. Any way to make the sound effects only happen 1 time when they happen in the animation?
