How To Make A Character Creator In Unreal Engine 5

[@pharaohpt7246]

Amazing tutorial! Quick tip for anyone who's 'possess' blueprints aren't working: In your character blueprint, right click and add an event called 'Event Possessed'. Connect it to your input mapping nodes, that Event Begin Play is connected to. I hope this helps someone!

[@notarabbit1752]

It did! Thank you.

[@UnrealMadeEasy]

Thanks you for posting this, it fixed my blueprint.

how did you guys get the details panel at 5:54?

[@MaF1e]

Do you know Where can I get following nodes: 3:08 Set control rotation 4:00 Target arm length

[@rashidclark]

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! Alas, the link provided for your "images" is getting a 404 page. EDIT: Also, at 10:08 in the "asset browser" tab I'm only seeing 1 item listed ("Charactercreatorbs1d"). No "idle". This is using UE 5.3

[@IyokuUnlimited]

THANK YOU. Just what I needed, hugely appreciate this guide.

[@rabbit8070]

Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial! I am working on an avatar project but I don't know which part to start and your video is clear, short, and precise. This is what I exactly need! Now I should move on to the saving and multiplayer settings. :D

[@savitorspeed5790]

How is project coming along? also did you learn on how to add different species in it for character creator?

[@rabbit8070]

@@savitorspeed5790 Ahaha this was actually for my final year project XD We made a metaverse with my teammates with VR features as well. Sadly that we don’t have much time to integrate all features but I did make a part for customizing character and morphing faces.

[@ChickenGoogleSoup]

I love this tutorial!!! I am trying to adapt it to make a character creator that swaps textures instead of meshes, and also adding a color picker wheel to change the color of each texture, but i am very stuck at Enums, DataTables, and Structures. Would you do a tutorial on how to make a character creator that applies selected textures to a dynamic material's parameters, that can be recolored?

Such a well done tutorial! You are explaining everything so well! Can't wait to try this out!

[@skeletonking4119]

I know this out of question, but dose it apply to more details and complex character face/body?

[@tet-9499]

This is brilliant, thank you. I was wondering how you can keep the changes to your character for future use? For example, I've built this on a new level in my game, but I want to 'save' the options selected for when I load my game instance.

[@mxvixen]

Great tutorial! I ran into only one issue where the create change button widget doesn't have the image section popping up so there's just blank white boxes that i can't add the proper images too. Other than that absolutely everything else is flawless!

[@siuilaonarach4546]

I'm having this problem as well. Trying to figure out how to work around it

[@randomusr6663]

Do you have extra Plugins to be able to do this, im new so i might not have them activiated. All i know is that my texture 2d isnt working at all and the set skeletal mesh blueprint doesnt give me the option to reinit Pose.

[@NapoleonLouverture]

Excellent tutorial, was able to get it working in UE 5.3.2, tho a few things had to be done differently.

[@nixen7317]

Thank you so much! This was exactly what I was looking for. :D

[@DPW13]

Trying to follow along and even with 0.5 speed & MULTIPLE skip backs....its hard to follow at a point. Camera stuff is great, starts to get in the weeds with the character creation part aaannd then thats that. Nothing looks the same, the icons are different, the prompts are different or totally missing. The idle bp just doesnt even pop up...idk man, if I cant follow a step by step guide I guess this sht just aint for me :( At 10:14 my asset browser is totally empty, idle pulls up nothing at all. Im like 12+ hours into 45 min video

[@GodsAmongKings]

At 10:08 you are searching for the guys idle animation but I don't have any of that poping up.

[@harvzgames9622]

How would I be able to have the player customise the height and body type IE(Small, meidum and large build) and how would I allow the player to switch between a male and female character

[@FabioHartFernandes]

Hey man... nice work, this tutorial is a life changer... is it possible to open a new level, using the chosen parts? Ive tried to open, using an "open level by name" after the "on clicked", but it goes back to the original parts (the guy with the suit)... would you please give me a light how to do that? thanks a lot in advance for all your effort to teach us

[@UnrealUniversity]

You would need to make a save system, try looking for save system unreal engine, you need will need to make it slighly different but you want to save the changes that happen

[@FabioHartFernandes]

Thanks a lot, i will try...@@UnrealUniversity... is there a course that you teach that you can implement that? i would sign for sure... i am trying to make a kind of metaverse place for one client, and he asked me this feature a few months ago, and i didnt know even where to start hehe... now i have the basics, if you could teach to do the rest would be amazing... thanks for the effort

[@UnrealUniversity]

I don't specifically have a course where I create a character creator save system, but I do create save systems in them, send me an email maybe I can help you out as it should not take to long@@FabioHartFernandes

Hello... thank you for your help... i will send you a email explaining our needs... thanks a lot@@UnrealUniversity

[@BitsAndBytes442]

Uisco anyway to save the custom character between levels? Pls respond soon.

[@DividendFiend]

IMPORTANT! For those who are new to this, if you're using blender make sure your animations all have more than 1 keyframe, otherwise when you import into unreal your gpu will crash; This also includes animation slots with no keyframes at all, just go ahead and add keyframes anyway. Also where it says "Armature" rename it to "Root"

Thank you for this tutorial. I followed closely but can't get the head image button to show up at 38:11. Any ideas for things to check? Edit: I used "Print String" to debug and found there were nodes not connected between the "Get" and "Set" boxes.

i've done everything you do, and yeah it works, thanks for that!, but on 5.1 when i hit play, the controller didn't responded, i can't walk or run or even move the camera like third person do, any way to fix this?, thanks in advance :) cheers

[@MartinOckovsky]

Same on 5.1; Did you find a solution please?

[@MartinOckovsky]

It's pretty easy fix. In BP_ThirdPersonCharacter, the code provided by UE, there is commented section Add Input Mapping. Just select everything after Event BeginPlay -> right click on it and select Collapse to Function (name it whatever, I called it "ActivateInputMapping"). And then in the CharacterCreatorUI widget that Uisco created, in the part where he is removing the start game button from parent, and possesing BP_ThirdPersonCharacter, after his code, after the Set Input Mode Game Only, and from the BP_ThirdPersonCharacter ref access the ActivateInputMapping function.

[@Mr_Random2121]

[@wolfdune508]

I had an issue with the camera zoom how u did it actually made it zoom infinitely in with up & down on mouse wheel (i fixed this by changing the -20 to a positive 20) also the clamps didn't work this way either (i fixed this by deleting the variables and just typing it into the clamps slots) just incase anyone else had this problem (im also using a later version then when video was made)

[@UnrealUniversity]

The clamps should limit it, maybe something in the section was missed

[@siuilaonarach4546]

Incredible Tutorial. Just finished it with my own custom character/Parts I made in blender to test this out. Extremely satisfied. The two places I had trouble was, 1) Needing to add an Event Possessed node to the Cast to player controller node in the BPthirdpersoncharacter event graph to get the character to move around. and 2) No Image option in the Create change Button Widget, which means my buttons are just blank white boxes instead of preview images of what I'm selecting.
