I understand that I can get the source assets, but is there anyway to get MetaHuman into the Unreal Engine to be a ‘on the spot’ character creator? I have a project where we need to randomize the appearance of NPCs on the go during runtime. If not, are there any kind of resources I could be referred to for maybe something similar that would involve MetaHuman characters?
Hi there,
I am sure you cannot download metahuman creator. There’s a sample project that shows how to create NPCs with metahuman: City sample crowds
For custom metahuman creator, this playlist below is a very good reference. Hope that helps.
The problem stems a little further I’m afraid; We have a effect in place that’s supposed to work a lot like Regeneration from the popular sci-fi series of Doctor Who where we actively change a whole character on the fly in front of the camera. I’ll go ahead and give the morph targets a shot though. That looks promising. Thank you for your time! It really helps.
Hi there,
Thank you for giving the context. Your project sounds interesting.
If you want to change full character in run time, so your best bet is a Niagara transition effect, and CGHOW may help you getting started:
He also has other cool transformation VFX tutorials that is worth checking out.
