Level Up Your Game: Master Metahuman Third-Person in Unreal Engine 5.3 (Beginner-Friendly!)

[@Niall96]

Super useful. I always used to export anims when doing the IK Retarget, and use the exported anims in a new AnimBP. But using the Retarger pose From Mesh > Then selecting the IKRetargeter, is something I never thought i could do. Wow, thank you. Also, just like to say how clear your tutorials are. No nonsense, and always the best methods. thanks :D

[@redzeroo6068]

You don't know how long i've tackled this for. Thank you soo so much!

[@eyeo1498]

Super useful!! I will try it out now!

Question, I was making my own clothes for the character, I'm trying to hang them on the character, everything seemed to be imported and connected normally. yes, when the character stands in clothes and the IDLE animation is played, everything is cool, but as soon as the character starts running or jumping, the clothes start to sag and fly off in the area of the elbows (sometimes they start to flicker and rattle as if it were a glitch in the video card), when the character stops, the clothes return to their place. I've already broken my head - I can't find a solution, I've tried different settings, I've tried connecting different skeletons to clothes - nothing really changes. For some reason, there is no such problem with Shoes. Everything was imported and attached immediately.

perfect timing working on this today...

[@neXib]

So clean and well explained, thanks!

[@grit-mike]

Worked like a charm. Clear and concise. When I try to render a movie from the sequencer, it shows everything, ie environment and camera movement I have set up. Everything, except the Metahuman itself. Any pointers?

[@Jobutsu]

Test with the Metahuman level of detail set to LOD 0. (My guess)

[@grit-mike]

Gotcha@@Jobutsuwill have a go!

[@arkemal]

thanks!

[@juanmilanese]

great video. but... what did the duplicated animBP and the new retargeter do that fixed the arms? the default retargeter is pointing to manny and you changed it to quinn or am I missing something?

[@Jobutsu]

By default the IKRetargeter uses Metahuman/Metahuman as far as i could tell. You can test this just by enabling the Live Retarget Mode. In the example I changed to quinn because, in testing it worked better with the female Metahuman in the example..

[@juanmilanese]

@@Jobutsu ok thanks! also, your videos are a very valuable resource, thanks again!

[@hotsauce7124]

Hello, may I ask a question. If the character is in a blueprint, is there a way to attach a metahuman Control Rig with controls? Another question, if the metahuman is in a Blueprint, is there a way to attack a prop in the hand?

[@Jobutsu]

If you drag your Metahuman Thirdperson character into sequencer, the Metahuman control rig, that is setup by default, *should still be available. *(guess)

[@Pearly_XD]

Hi, ive been able to follow your tutorial until 2:45, when toggling the 'use live retarget mode' to true nothing changes, the metahuman doesnt show the idle animation or anything, it just stays static like before. could you possible help me with this? (i use ue5.3)

[@Jobutsu]

Maybe the Live retargeting mode is not using the correct animation blueprint ? (source:guess)

[@Pearly_XD]

@@Jobutsu Im not really sure, how would i check?

[@Pearly_XD]

im so sorry for wasting your time, i managed to fix it by reinstalling ue5.

[@Jobutsu]

You did not waste my time. I am glad you managed to fix it !

[@Mind_ConTroll]

I was stuck on this for a few hours, how does Metahuman Not have a Skeletal Mesh, those things are like a dime a dozen, I dl'ed like 12 on accident, Thank you.

[@CRV3N]

Thanks great Vid... I have a quick one, what is the purpose of the unused Root that you deleted. I seen some tutorials where its kept and just dragged with the body under Mesh, I tested it a bit myself aswell. By retaining the Root you skip the error that appears of the missing target and everything still seems to work at the end. Just asking.

[@Jobutsu]

The Thirdperson parent has it's own root.

[@lordfranchesco11130]

THANK ___________YOU🔥🔥💝💝

[@Conor_Doherty]

Does the default PlayerStart in the third person project need to be removed entirely? It is still spawning a quinn for me.

[@ChrisWaitt-uq3xi]

Thanks for the awesome tutorial! I have one question - I'm trying to add a hat to the character using a socket, but the skeletal mesh is still using SKM_Quinn_Simple and when i attach the hat to the socket i made the animation is off. is there a solution to this! thanks so much

[@Jobutsu]

Are you adding the hat in the Metahuman blueprint ?

[@DesignsbyElement]

For some reason, my player moves but the legs don't ... they just stay straight

[@Jobutsu]

This is usually a problem with the IKBones in the controlRig. Following this tutorial should not create that problem.

[@JarppaGuru]

2:40 unity we just do it. there is t pose we not need. oh its unreal. tabs and windows. click here and here

[@JarppaGuru]

3:09 oh thanks god no. just drag metahuman and change pawn, but funny not remove other like they on project and cant delete. and even it not rendered other mesh there. very good lol

[@JarppaGuru]

5:46 now we clean project and remove all those sk mannequin, but we cant we use them thats how silly it is. why cant just use meatahuman LOL
