Unreal Engine Import MetaHuman Tutorial

[@duranimusprime5989]

This was the easiest tutorial I've seen. I've looked around and watched tons of how-to videos on this- and I couldn't really figure it out still. This guy cuts through the shit and tells you exactly what you need to know! Great job!

[@MrTbob418]

Gotta say, using version 5.4, no issues whatsoever. Quick, easy, to the point. This is not a complicated thing to do but props for making it as simple as possible for people who've never done it before.

[@nickbalke1672]

thanks bro finally some1 that understands what hes doing and can explain it properly, i feel mostly like watching a tutorial of a tutorial of a tutorial but this is clean and straight to the point and actually HELPS! great job

[@Kyrojii]

omg, this was the easiest tutorial i've watched and followed. You've earned yourself a like and a subscriber

Great stuff! Just the way I like my tutorials; short, on point with just the right amount of detail.

[@shervworkstation4163]

OK yeah.... I saw a bunch of tutorials that just made this too hard for themselves! thanks for this!

[@apachon]

wow , this made me want to learn unreal and metahumans ! amazing simplicity .

[@GiDS222]

I followed this perfectly the first time but somehow i was missing a function. I feel dumb. This is still the best tutorial i've found and im not sure what im missing

[@NOTER_Productions]

quick and easy , well done 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@RafaelRocha-AmplaMente]

You save my life dude! thanks a lot!

[@Pearly_XD]

Hi, ive been able to follow your tutorial until 1:53, 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)

[@Seredias.]

Then you missed something. Did you add to Root to the Mesh?

[@Pearly_XD]

@@Seredias. I did, i followed everything correctly till 1:53, where it the problem occurred.

[@Seredias.]

@@Pearly_XD Did you enable the Plugins at the Begin? 1:00

[@Pearly_XD]

@@Seredias. I did.

[@Pearly_XD]

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

[@mjesensky2760]

This seems very simple indeed 🙂 However, aren't the LiveRetarget and "Always Tick Pose and Refresh Bones" too performance-heavy? Also, the Quin model is still attached, just set invisible. Will you have to include the Quin model, including its textures in the packaged game? I have seen tutorials that a bit more complicated but actually replace the Quin model with the Metahuman. Wouldn't that be a better option?

[@Seredias.]

If it would be too performance heavy, why it is Part of every MetaHuman by default? MetaHumans are performance heavy indeed, but not because of the Retarget or the Quinn. Its because of the Details Level of a MetaHuman. So replacing the Quinn, with a lot of effort, wouldn't reduce the Performance requirements.

[@valkyr6171]

Great video ! I have tried it but unfortunately, it doesn't wort at the end, I use 5.5 and my character stays stucked in T shape while I move. I have read that I am not the only one with this problem and 5.5 but great explanation though =)

[@3darchstuffs]

Can you plz make a tutorial to make the meta human character walk on a path. Please?

[@Seredias.]

That would basically be this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZfRp5Wwm6yNpKcsi=kPc8RyQDQaqG2P67

[@DarkPhilosophy-x7e]

after retargeting nothing changes. i do 1on1 even start new project to see if there is a problem with my current project. nothing changes, meta human stay static. yes i have all the pluggins and so on. There is some other unknown issue.

[@Seredias.]

It could be you're Version of the Unreal Engine or the specific MetaHuman.

[@christhuy1]

I got the same problem. The step where you enable Use Live Retarget Mode nothing happens. The metahuman is still in T pose. Using version 5.5 and a newly created metahuman.

[@MAcDaTHo]

@@christhuy1 Users of version 5.5 tend to walk into this issue. I have no solution, but this exact thing happens, after following three different tutorials. Somebody said reinstalling the engine worked for them. I don't know.

[@shadowfighter9577]

Thanks bro it works😊

[@sadranik17]

Tanks ❤❤👌👌👌👌

[@serdargokhanonder28]

I wish metahuman had a skeletal mesh like the characters downloaded from mixmo. We could do all the special animations directly on the metahuman character.

[@Seredias.]

Since MetaHuman just use the the Third Person Character its possible with this here: terribilisstudio.fr/?section=MC

[@Runstaef]

Hi! This works great but I've run into an issue. When I quit out of the project, when I load it back up again my metahuman is no longer linked up with the animation and is in the T pose? The only way I've found to get it back synced with the mesh is to delete and re do it completely !

[@Seredias.]

@@Runstaef Thats diffinetly not normal. I setup many MetaHumans 2 days ago, without any Problems. Which Version of the Unreal Engine do you use?

[@Runstaef]

@@Seredias. It works perfectly it just loses it's animation connection on restart for some reason! I'm using 5.5.0

[@Seredias.]

@@Runstaef Might be a new Problem with 5.5

[@moniqueoosthuizen7879]

Thanks for the tutorial! I used a "short" metahuman, and now the hands of my metahuman are hanging slack as if the skeleton does not link up from the elbows down, but I can't figure out how to fix it 😂 looks really weird

[@Punchmememe]

PLEAS make a video how to add other animations, By so far you are the one who is straight to the point easy to follow and DIRECT, I love this! My teacher, Pleas show us how to add animations like running walking jumping and uhhh crawling ? or one off these so we can experiment? Would love it!

[@Seredias.]

Yes, I plan to continue the Series. Very helpful tip at this Point. You just need to add Animations to the Third Person Character. Since the Metahuman is just a Child Blueprint, it will automatically use them as well.

[@Punchmememe]

@@Seredias. Yhea some how i fuck it up everysingle time.

[@marcapouli7805]

1:18 Changing forced LOD doesn't make hairs appear. I don't have all the groom components attached to the face. I guess I have to add them manually. For something so simple, I was not expecting something else than spending several hours trying to make things work. Why nothing never works?

[@Seredias.]

So you used the Quixel Bridge and the Character Blueprint that came with it, including the necessary Plugins?

[@marcapouli7805]

@@Seredias. Yes, I have all plugins activated, but still no hair components in the blueprint. I haven't made more test, my project doesn't open any more I think it is dead. And the metahuman I downloaded has disappeared from the bridge anyway. I really fear to use metahuman again, I see how much troubles I have for 2 hours now, and I'm just at 2 minutes in the video

@@jarredcrowley4962 In this case you can customize the material. But then you can just change the color. To create custom clothes for MetaHuman, you need 3D editing software like Blender etc. This should give you an idea: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2WTen9ugKd9n6ssi=ecj9NjeEqVDDCUI0

Since you can select the quality of the MetaHuman, you can choose the file size. The lower the quality, the lower the file size.

Since the MetaHuman is already the Third Person Character, you don't need a new Animations Blueprint. If you created the BlendSpace for the ABP_Manny, it is already assigned.

@@Scairp I don't know which blend space you mean. Did you create this yourself? The MetaHuman in your case BP_Scairp does not have its own animation blueprint. That’s why we use “re-targeting mode”

Making video games shouldn't be like this anymore.. we should just be able to select our character and it goes in there. Time is money...

[@Seredias.]

That sounds more like criticism of the engine and not the tutorial. The question would be who defines what a character is. The engine is the basis for developing a game. It's like expecting furniture to be in the forest.
