Hey Max, thanks for the great tutorial. You mentioned that you dislike the symmetry of the metahumans - I just wanted to let you know you can turn that feature off in the MetaHuman Creator (it's the little highlighted circle with the dotted line icon right to the menu).

@digital0785 Рік тому

the meta human stuff looks good but the eyes always look like they're the wrong shape IMO.. but the characters they include dont have that issue so i'm wondering if its something people aren't doing when creating or just a feature missing. It's not just yours either awesome TUT btw super helpful

@MaxNovakTutorials Рік тому

I think 2 biggest issues are 1: everything is too symmetrical , needs some imperfections to feel more human and less digital. 2: Limited options for facial features (*more so applies when you're trying to replicate the likeness of a real person). Even something as tiny as mismatched eyebrows can drasticfally change the ways someone looks.

@digital0785 Рік тому

@@MaxNovakTutorials i think both of those are 100% correct more eye options would help as well as the being more asymmetrical would be huge

@tosvus Рік тому

You didn't mention RealityCapture as an option? They are closely associated with UnrealEngine, bought by Epic, and probablyu will be integrated into UE at some point.. That's a good way to generate the mesh.

How can you make this character move their body like walking, or just a seated pose, seating in the street etc? Does UE have like movement templates like Mixamo?

@erashak2577 Рік тому

Hello, I would like to hear your advice. Let's say that I need to make a female character, but underwear for women is not very suitable. What could be done to remove/replace it? I know that this cannot be done in Meta Human, because the underwear is sewn into the texture. And how would you change the body mesh, if needed.

@orivxdevlabs Рік тому

Can you use this for an already created Character BP and just swap the mesh over in UE?

@rafaelgarcia-ti4xb Рік тому

I'm on LAN and my iphone shows up on unreal, did all the steps but the metahuman face doesn't move unfortunately :/ iphone 13 pro All plugins and arkit enabled, I did delete torso feet to have just the head though not sure if that might affect it.
