Adding a Beard to a Metahuman Without Access to the Online Platform

Hello everyone,

I’ve had a Metahuman character created by someone else, involving processes like mesh to metahuman, modeling, and creating normal maps. I have a folder with all the necessary files to open and edit the project in Unreal Engine. However, I’m looking to add a beard to the character, and here’s where I’m facing a challenge.

Since I don’t have the Metahuman on the online platform (Metahuman Creator), I’m unable to use the platform’s tools to add a beard directly. Is there a way to upload my Metahuman to the platform, make the modifications there, and then download it back into Unreal Engine? If not, what is the best workaround for adding a beard to my Metahuman locally or through another method?

Any insights or suggestions on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your help!
