How to Use Mesh to Metahuman (From Scan to Metahuman)

[@estate0007]

Wow, this was quite impressive, man! Next we want to see a short starring your Avatar 😁

[@MR3DDev]

That is in the works :)

[@jagolawgaming3377]

Awesome tutorial dude! Looking forward to starring in my game 😁

[@inteligenciafutura]

Thank you, it worked perfectly for me, although the video is very long for something that can be done in 5 minutes, in any case, it is an excellent video.

[@DaveStreams]

FYI, The Meta Human plug-in is only available on Windows Platforms not MacOS.

[@TheBindoS]

Anyone know if there is a workaround to this? :/

[@inteligenciafutura]

What unreal version were you using?

[@djlennydanger3644]

I feel like I missed something when you were showing how and what you added to the material sphere. Time stamp 11:32 . I pressed and clicked 1 but I didn't get that little green square. I'm stuck on that step. Please help. Ty

[@kazemedia]

I have a question. I start using 5.1, but I can't find "Metahuman Identity" to make Metahuman from Mesh. Did they remove it?

[@edsonmoraes7667]

From what I've read and tested...seems that Epic still did not release an update for the Metahuman plugin

[@kazemedia]

@@edsonmoraes7667 And iClone live link also cannot be used in 5.1. I just noticed it. I'll stay with 5.0 for a while so that I don't have to waste my time. Let me know when those functions come back.

[@SkyWarrior100]

Metahumans is free with unreal engine 5? And we can export our models to out computer? I'm just asking because this seems like the easier option compared to other blender tutorials.

[@MR3DDev]

Metahumans are free but they are to be used with Unreal Engine for final rendering, you can take them out to tweak and customize but the final product needs to be rendered inside Unreal :)

[@SkyWarrior100]

@@MR3DDev alright, gotcha

[@elmondark]

It's neat, but it doesn't seem very accurate - looks like generic approximation, but it's maybe because of free file? Or because hair was included? It seems it only used the parts that were highlighted in Green, but eyelids were off anyway.

[@brothersgrimm1230]

Isn't polycam only free like once though? It says 12 images left?

[@reffect5338]

Nice tut. Fascinating!

[@M4rt1nX]

Thanks for the tutorial. Very easy to follow and I got great results.

Which laptop did you use?

Really nice one, just tried and now my wife is in unreal amazing ^^ , just had to tweak the z /y as the export to u5 was not in correct position ..

[@digitalphanes206]

[@quiethealing9777]

Hi, thanks so much for this video! I ran into an issue which I should have accounted for before but I'm on a mac and can't download the metahuman plugin. Any idea for a work around on this? Thanks!

[@DestinyLiveGaming]

you need to install a older version of unreal 5

[@fransoavirtuality]

Great Video!!! Is it possible to export the created Metahuman back to Blender?

[@antoniopepe]

Really great. Thanks

[@altavision8]

hello good video-- a question, is there any way to capture images using a camera and take it directly to blender without using polycam?

[@tevx9670]

thank you

[@virtual_intel]

They charge on the Polycam app to export, so how did you get your model for free. Also how many images of yourself did you need to capture via that Polycam app? awesome job by the way

[@MR3DDev]

There is one file format that is free, is not an fbx so you need to take that into blender as I showed

[@virtual_intel]

@@MR3DDev I located it, it’s gltf or something like that. They also give you like 8 free attempts at creating images/scans. Then I guess it will default to the pay wall only.

[@AlexCoulombeDesign]

@@virtual_intel gltf can import directly into Unreal

[@creativecreativemediafgmed4449]

Question when you spoke about the beard, is it possible to edit that before importing to blender? If I had Photoshop can I edit it first and then bring it into blender?

[@arieldario3849]

6:17 Damn 😁 Good tutorial by the way...

to get it u just press 1 on ur keyboard

[@charlesgj7127]

Amazing video. I just got the iPhone 13 but after seeing this I'm considering getting the Pro for the Lidar thing. Are the results much better with Lidar? I'd like to use your technique for my games in Unreal Engine!

[@MR3DDev]

I don't have Lidar but they should be much better

[@charlesgj7127]

@@MR3DDev Thank you!

[@emdo.unlimited555]

Tried on an iPhone 12 Pro and it doesn't seem like current LIDAR is detailed enough for facial scans

[@AlexCoulombeDesign]

@@emdo.unlimited555 agreed. For polycam photo capture mode is best.

[@DerRaucherDE]

hm maybe the REVOPOINT POP 2 3D SCANNER is an option

[@andrewshandle]

This is great, thanks for this. One thing I find odd is they make you do such a small FoV in the MH Identity which kind of gives a fishbowl type view of the mesh, so it makes comparing the two images kind of strange. It also seems like that just adds an overall girth to the face and head too, so maybe I'll play around with trying the same mesh but one with the 20 FoV and one with 90 and see if there are any significant differences. Now I just need to rope my son in to be my guinea pig. ;) Now if they could just fix the animation so the heads and necks actually work, that'd be great...

[@Philmad]

Hey thanks for the tutorial. Even though my MetaHuman compiles after downloading, I’m getting an error that the “skeletal mesh” variable has been deprecated. Is there a fix for this? Can I ignore it, or will doing so cause problems down the line when I get to the animation phase?

18:00 Oh, you have the same “bump” on your forehead because of your hair. I've been struggling with this for months now, trying to make the new scan better. Unsuccessfully. The other day I tried the sculpting mode in blender. This is already a good way to get an acceptable result. But I need to get the perfect result to generate images for an experiment with LoRa training. I'm already wondering if I should cut my hair bald while it's so hot.

My scan came out bumpy as heck. Ridged triangular bumps, which seem to have even baked this into the texture. Even if I smooth the surface, the odd tri face shadows still remain. I took 35 photos--the overall scan seemed very clean, other than these bumps. I exported in high (one below Raw). Do ya'll know your way around this? Thanks in advance and thanks for the video walkthrough. EDIT: after meshing and exporting into MHC, it looked fine. The artifacts from before were irrelevant.

I could be the background? try having more neutral colors see if it helps
