Create your own MetaHuman | Unreal Engine 5 tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 тра 2024
- Step by step guide to create a custom MetaHuman using Unreal Engine 5. Using mesh to MetaHuman, we turned our friend into her digital avatar.
This is just part ONE of this series. As you see, the result is not yet a perfect clone as the MetaHuman creator has limitation. In the next video, we are going to customize the mesh further in Blender, the texture in Substance Painter and perhaps even create custom hair. If all of this interest you, please let us know in the comments.

The fact that you can do this *SO* easily compared to how it was done before is mindblowing. Not 10 years ago, getting the tech to be able to do this even before tweaking would *bankrupt an entire studio.*
hahahhah right?? and it's only getting better! Have you seen us Animating the MetaHumans too?? We have a video on that its mindblowing.
We are also working on a CUSTOMISATION Tutorial for MetaHumans if you'd like to see that it's coming soon
This technology is terrifying yet absolutely amazing.
We believe we can be optimistic about how we can use this technology. In education, medicine or even entertainment, there will be hundreds of use cases. Do you feel as optimistic as us ? :)
It does indeed have interesting usabilities :)

bro this has been one of the cleanest and easiest tutorials i have ever followed, great videos guys
Bruh that was the intention ... you know it was so hard to cut this video since we didnt know how much of the process should we keep and simplify so it caters to a wider audience but at the same time not make it so long that people get bored and click out!
Glad it turned out ok
Wow! This is just beautiful. I'm a programmer learning some basic Character Designing work and I think this series will be perfect for that. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing!
Glad we could help
ua-cam.com/video/77X_X7kaKpg/v-deo.html
That was soo cool guys. I enjoyed my time together with you. I did what you do here in the video long before, but it was enjoyable to view. Keep posting metahuman topic/animation/customization on your channel.
THank you so much! THat means alottttt!! We will continue to do so with your support
The passion of you both has made me want to do more with metahuman! thanks for the video!
And the lovely comment you made gives us motivation to do EVEN MORE!! Thank you Ollie!
BTW did you check out part 2 alrdy?
ua-cam.com/video/77X_X7kaKpg/v-deo.html
I would certainly be interested in this series and will try my hand at this video this weekend, thanks for the content!
So how did it go?
@@badxstudio I got stuck on the part where you save the fbx file, and upload it to unreal engine. I'm going to give it another try this week though, thanks for following up to check in that's really cool!
@@badxstudio Well I FINALLY got through this entire tutorial! Would love to share my work with you. Now I just need to learn to properly rig glasses and animation.
thank you very much!! i was interested in metahuman but now im diving in soon!!
Shiva we can't wait to see you try it out!! Pls let us know when you do we wanna see the results!!
Are you on our discord??? if not come say hi there
Gonna start learning Unreal this weekend. This kind of stuff is insane.
Indeed.. Good luck
Loving the tutorial. To get closer to meta human focal length it would be best to take photo at a higher focal length
Those video go in my collection of blender tutorials. Its amazing, i subscribed.
Glad to hear we helped 😉 ❤️
That is absolutely amazing!
Are we gonna see you try it out brother?????
This is a great tutorial, probably the best I've ever seen.. just waiting for Unreal Engine to load shaders though now.. it's been 5 hours, I can't believe it 😂
Heheheh glad you think of it that way
Thanks for the guidance...and i created meta human from my own ....many many thanks for the step by step tutorial....wish u all the best🎉
Wow Im sooooooo glad that you decided to try and let us know how it went! It's the only reason we spent the time and effort to create it! BTW if you wanna show us your metahuman we'd love to see it on our discord:
discord.gg/AXgCwTYDRB
You Guys Are Awesome And So Was This Video… Thanks For Sharing..‼️😛
I'm going to make it right now with the face of my wife. That's awesome!!!
I'm postponing the tutorials to use metahumans, but here I just found my GO!!!
Thank you!!!
That is awesome! Go and do it brother
Thank yall for this!
Most welcome :)
Cheers, finally something I could follow successfully!
YESSS! Glad you liked it
This is Amazing
Thanks so much for this tutorial! I also saw the pwnisher use PureRef to align face geometry on top of the Metahuman creator. It might speed up the facial structure workflow a bit.
Saw this channel on tiktok and liked this content, and then it popped up in my recommendations on youtube and i love it! Just created my dad as a videogame character lol
Thank you so much for watching our videos. We are preparing for part 2 where we show you how to customise it even more. Hop on our discord and show us your MetaHuman, would love to see it discord.gg/zwycgqezfD
This is insane! thank you for sharing
Alexis you are more than welcome
ua-cam.com/video/77X_X7kaKpg/v-deo.html
Great job I was annoyed they did not notice that her forhead is lager than what they made and they should have push the hair a bit to the back
Oh trust me brother we did! The metahuman creator customization is limited we of course made our process look shorter for your sake. But we played around with the different features but the sculpting tools on the creator have limits. Which is why the next part of this video is taking the mesh to a 3D software and customizing it manually :)

Subscribed! I like your guys' energy and drive, it's inspiring!
Love you! youur comment just boosted that energy!
ua-cam.com/video/77X_X7kaKpg/v-deo.html
Thank you so much, Stay blessed.
Good job!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
That was sweet. Nice content. Keep it up.
Thank you!!! Did you alrdy check out part 2??
Loved the way you teach guys. Fun and absolutely came into my memory
Regards
Glad it helped mate
Love the energy you guys have. Amazing tutorial, was looking just for this!✌✌Tq
Thank u
Fantastic! Appreciate the tutorial!
No worries at all
@@badxstudio absolutely! Was trying to do the face scan with the polycam lidar function and couldn't get good results. Yours is the first tutorial that stuck to photo capture mode. I'll try this and hopefully get better results 😁
@@jakecolefilms Yeah the Lidar doesn't work well with human faces! The photo mode gives the best results hands down!! We already tried multiple versions and can speak to that :) Glad to know you figured it out :))
And sometimes you might not have access to a person to do photoscanning, for which we recommend you check out "Facebuilder" Addon for blender. You feed it a few images and it builds a head mesh based off that which can be quite accurate! It has a free trial so check that out too :)
Also if you aren't on our discord yet, please do join! We would lovve to see what you make :))
discord.gg/fUTyYnvceB
perfect man😍❤
This is so exciting!
hahahha if you liked this make sure you check out our Part 2 & 3 we uploaded
Ya can't show me something as cool as this and I am not gonna try it. I tried Meta human about 2yr ago and it was really limited. This is totally different! Thanks for the cool video
No worries hahah yeah they keep updating Metahumans! We can't wait for the latest "MetaHuman Animator" update
Congratulations guys, I really enjoy this amazing video...
Thank you so much ❤️ glad u did!
wow! amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Guys you nailed it! 👌
When can we expect the second part of the more advanced tutorial, maybe where you show how to make the model say the same things you say, maybe do some body movement? :)
Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you sooo much!
Well you can expect the 2nd part within the upcoming week for sure :) We will be showing you how to make the metahuman TALK + how to customize the mesh even further :)
@@badxstudio That's great! Thank you! 😊
Any links to this pt2 up yet? :) @@badxstudio
Been searching for this particular tutorial since metahuman was launched... Thank you so very much 🙏🙏🙏🙏now I have to manage a computer only😂
Hahahahah glad that you have found it! Well we are going to release part 2 very soon so hopefully you will figure out the computer by then!
@@badxstudio 🙏take your time 😂
WOW Cool and Super creation.🥰 I love this

Thanks
mind blowing brother
We knowwwww 🤯🤯
I liked her smile and eyes a lot!! 🙈🙈
This video is a lifesaver 😩
Glad you liked it 🙏
You guys are amazing
No YOU ARE BREATHTAKING!
What are the tech specs for metahuman creator? I'm in the market for my first laptop and I would really like to have this creative tool, along with artbreeder.
Amazing😮😮I want to learn a lot lot skill😘😘😘I love graphics design😌😇
Thank for the information
thank u guys!
Our pleasure
Please make a tutorial how to make a Child that looks realistic with Metahuman. I'm trying to do that for my game but is hard to have good results :(. Nice video btw!
You know that sounds like a DOPE challenge :D So just thinking about it for a child metahuuman to look real you've gotta get the HEAD SIZE PROPORTION TO THE BODY correctly. That's probably where the secret lies. That's just a guess tho we have never tried it. Should we give it a try?
If you want come over to our discord let's discuss it there and figure it out?
discord.gg/AXgCwTYDRB
Yes please! Also looking since weeks about that... find nothing. Its missing in the world wide web...
a gabby che me combini
Gabby...ma ciao :)
You have to sculpt the exported base shape. There is no other way to achieve that.
I love it. I’ll do it soon with myself hahaha
That’s an amazing idea… don’t forget to share it with us on our discord channel once u made it
Hey, great tutorials, you do teach everything without any unnecessary stuff and in a very excellent way! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!!
Did you have any problems to get Angelina together with face animation and Body movement in 5.3? I've tried it several times, but if I use my own face, and follow your tutorials, the head movement from the facial animation is transfered to my model, but the facial animation, talking, facial expression is not taken. If I take one metahuman of the preset list metahumans, everything works fine.. I thought, that the problem could be, that I create the identity from my polycam model and then create a new identity with the livelink video? Does this make any sense?? Hope, you can help me, as I tried it for about 5 times, following each of the steps in your tutorials, but always get this problem..
I’ve been looking for this exact content I don’t know why guys are not making it but otherwise good video
Glad it help you
This is AMAZING! It's funny when u guys were like, check the sad face Oh yeah that's her! Lol. This is wow ❤
You unreal engine are awesome dude
Divas WE LOVE U BROTHER!
Thank you so much 😊
Most welcome, have you tried creating one ?
BRILLIANT thanks
You are most welcome
Awesome👍
Amazing !
Yo bros, awesome video. I did the same thing but with a character I ment to use but updated it this way to metahuman. I will use this method now to make a metahuman version of my wife, but she have dreads..Did you ever make the custom hair tutorial? Peace ✌️
For some reason blender is not exporting the texture, any idea how to fix this? Maybe Unreal is cannot read this out from the export file?
Do you have any idea how to fix this?
super cool ❤
So from the time the model shows up to where you ended this video how much billable time would it cost someone to do what you did including the model? I am now going to dive into all your stuff....the cat videos are pushed to the side 🙂
i cant add the metahuman identity for mac? is it because there is no plugin created for mac?
lets go time to learn !!
pin your comments bro :) that should be at the TOP! :) have a nice one. keep up the good work!
Maaaa mannnnnN!!!
Amazing
Would you mind to mention each equipment that need it to make it? (Computer brand Phone brand)
You can really do this with any phone since we only use photos to create the model. But the better the phone camera the better your scan will be at the end of it all. As for the computer, please check out epic games unreal engine minimum spec required. We always recommend a decent RTX graphics card from NVIDIA>
love from turkey good video and very good tips and tricks
oooooh Turkey!! Our favorite place to eat Great food!!!
and you are absolutely welcome :)
Part 2 of this coming out next week! Stay tuned!
How would I put this character into a game?
Great video, what technical specs is required to run all this without lag?
A Tip: Use Microsoft PowerToys for a Color Picker on Win+Shift+C
Thanks!
Thank you so much buddy
داااااش دمتون گرم
Could you do the same with a photo? If i took multiple pictures of some ones face could you use that or do you need that all round video you used?
do you guys use pollycam pro or free? because when I try to take a pic, it doesn't...
I tried exporting my mesh as fbx but the texture didnt export what can be done?
\
Is it possible to do this with just photos if we cannot scan the person? Like if i want to make an avatar of luffy in one piece for example.
That;s Super Amazing and Easy Guide Guys, Can you please make a short tutorial on how we can Export this Character in Maya, or Blender, or in any Format Like FBX or anything?
I have polycam and it doesn't offer the file format you used to import to blender?
It does! Its GLB/GLTF and it has that as an option :)
My version just says GLTF@@badxstudio
What to do if the person who i am modeling to unreal has beard or mustache ?
Когда то давно мы создавали таких персонажей в симсе, теперь когда редактор Симса вышел в урину, мы создаём персонажей там и радуемся тому как реалистично они получаются.
Но... Не забывайте про оптимизацию))
@badxstudio but is possibile an motioncap of head and the body in sync? But the texture of skin, is it very realistic that i can see the reflection of light when i render a image?
Thanks for the vidéo guys !
! I have a problem tought , i can't find the pluging on unreal , i dowloaded it and i'm using the right version available but i dont know why i can't find it .. Do you have an idea ? Thanks :)
Polycam is impressive
So near in the future, you can put your own face as a character in any games by scanning your face with phone and put it online for cloud rendering if it's possible.
Its really close but the hair line is a little low on the 3D model, bring it up a little and round it. It would be a lot closer, still really cool what you have right now.
Agreed! but the metahuman creator app doesnt let us customize the head more ... it has limits. which is why in the next part we are going to do that in another 3D software :)
@@badxstudio Ah I see, cant wait. Its cool to see what tech can do.
This is amazing but I can’t figure out how to add texture to my scan. I imported it but it’s gray and not textured.
Id really love some help 🥲 ive gotten all the way to the install MetaHuman identity but the meta humans plugin I downloaded can't be found and they only have 2 base models available. Did they pull the full Meta Humans Plugin since the posting of this video.
Im stuck trying to open the Identity plugin that's not showing up, I would really appreciate the help 🙏🏽
Good job! Besides Polycam, do you have other mesh apps for creating 3D models? For PC users, or Android users. Thanks.
I think polycam has android knock-offs that basically do the same, also you may want to check if Live Link Face is also on Andriod... in fact i don't know why they didn't use it in this video, as the logo of the app has the unreal logo in it... lol... polycam is nice but unless you only want .gtl files you must pay and is not cheap tho....
anyone not seeing the metahumans plugin when you start 5.1? it doesnt show up when i type it in the plugins list 😕😕
Is there any solution for Mac ?
Thank you.
Hmmm not sure mate we only tried this on our windows!
issues i had
1. i installed metahumans but it was not in the plugins section
2. i still managed to open the fbx file somehow but there was no color it was grey
3. no section where i can choose body or anything
