Yeah... they're still in Launcher (in the Fab Library) if you already acquired them, so they can still be used, but it doesn't look like you can add them to your library if you don't already have them. On the flip side, its much easier now (and getting even easier in the near future) to export content from Twinmotion to Unreal, so for now, easiest/best approach is probably just to install Twinmotion and send content to Unreal from there.

Mmm... assuming it's not a bug (the structure of Metahumans did change a bit between 5.4 and 5.5, but I don't know if this would be the source of the issue), here's a video that could maybe help... It focuses on hands retargeting specifically and shows how to create and use a finger movement test animation when setting up retargeting poses for hands that helps isolate finger retargeting issues: ua-cam.com/video/Ea1H4sWhqyU/v-deo.htmlsi=rRwXCUtGISsNkIzh Hope this helps.

@ thank you, will check it out

@@PixelProf What sort of structural differences are between 5.4 and 5.5 by the way? Thanks!

Glad it helped!

Not sure.. I have 5.5 installed on my M2 MBAir through launcher. Maybe uninstall launcher and start from a fresh install? Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

@@PixelProf strange. Was there anything I needed to do with xcode in. the way of installing? There's an install button on the lead screen that I didn't see you click. Can't explain it.

@@jrsoldano1444 Everything I did for the setup on my M2 is in this video. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to make sure you have the latest XCode updates applied (via Apple). In theory, once you've gotten as far as agreeing to the XCode license, there shouldn't need to be any additional installation steps on that side.

@@PixelProf Here's the answer. If you had previous versions of UE, you need to click the "+" button under Engine Versions to reveal newer versions. Thanks for the video!

Not sure.... I didn't do any "behind the scenes" tricks to get this to work, just what you see in this video. (I think the only edits were to skip waiting times)

Yup. Currently bake animation from a recorded WAV file.

The Metahuman plugin is installed from the "Fab Library" section of your Epic Launcher (on the Unreal Engine->Library page). Be sure that you have added it to your Fab Library (should be free or already added), search for "Metahuman" in Launcher and it should be found as one of the options with an "Install to Engine" button. Click that button and you can select a compatible, installed engine to add to. Hope this helps.

Glad it helped!

Yup…. Add the face board control rig in layered mode, then use that to animate the eyes to taste. Will try to make time to record a tutorial video on this.

You can still install these in newer version projects. Here's a video I did a while back using the Epic Launcher's Library/Vault (this still works today): ua-cam.com/video/AcXU0uhi9wM/v-deo.html This also works with the FAB plugin installed in 5.4/5.5, but I haven't made a specific video for that yet.

Which material? The “holographic” projection? (I think that’s the only thing somewhat custom here).

@PixelProf I am working on a construction vishuliazation, and I want the mesh come slowly like you did for the helmet. Can you make video of that

@@arjunkv3627 Ah.... I'll see if I can put something together on that.

@PixelProf wow, that would be amazing thank you so much

I think today, I’d set this up using world displacement within the material itself. Will try to make time for an updated version of this. 🙂

@@PixelProf that would be great. thanks for your good work 🙂

It's in 5.4 as well. (might look or operate slightly differently there, but same fundamentals) 🙂

@@PixelProf Ahh fantastic thank you! I was just able to find where the animator is as it's slightly different. One other question, to control the count down from a rundown and be able to start and stop it on command, what property would you need to expose to the Remote Control? If this is possible yet...

​@@lachlansmithfilms4967 Stop/start functionality doesn't seem to be something that's "built-in", but I can't be sure. I suspect this could/should be doable via blueprints, but haven't dug into the process yet myself.

@@PixelProf Ahh no worries, thank you very much for getting back to me. I have found some ideas of ways to possibly do this using the Rundown/Transition Logic Controls, but I'll also check out blueprints. If I'm able to work anything out that might be useful I'll drop you a message and let you know!

Doh! 🤪

The Material Designer in 5.5 is dramatically improved vs 5.4, with LOADS of new features and abilities, but there are a few glitches in the initial preview release that have been fixed in the github source code version, but not released through launcher yet. I'm holding off until the next 5.5. update on launcher before digging into those features so more users have access.

As long as the skeleton hasn't had existing joints removed, existing animation sequences should play on the new skeleton by using the "add compatible skeletons" step. Then those can be baked to the FK Rig in sequencer for editing and rendering to videos.

So far it just processes audio recording files.

I haven't tried other languages, but my understanding is that yes, it generally works in other languages as well.

You can key data like lighting cues and prop interaction directly in sequencer. There's a full Constraints system for prop interaction, and lighting cues, fx cues, even blueprint event calls all be incorporated into level sequences. Unless you're looking to incorporate interactive input (and technically even that can be facilitated in parallel with level sequence playback) basically anything/everything in Unreal can be animated in Level Sequences. Are there any particular demos/tutorial content around this that could be of help?

Yes exactly, that's why I'm hoping to use level sequences instead of animation sequences because the project doesn't have a controllable character, it's like a interactive cutscene with a main character. So for example you have that cube in your scene with one level sequence moving it up and down. But what if you wanted to have 10 level sequences moving that same cube with different directions/animations. I'm assuming they'd all be able to be triggered through programming at different times but is there a way to blend those 10 level sequences together. I'm new to nodes so I'm not sure if there's some node that can do something like that. Also thanks for the response!

Should be there if you installed the 5.5 version of the plugin into Unreal 5.5 It’s not available in earlier versions.

Circular polarizer on the lens and polarizing gel on the lights have been working great in our studio. We used Rosco Polarizing #7300 on the lights with a Tiffen Circular Polarizing Filter on the lens.
