Facial Pose Library Quick Start

Hi Guys,

I don’t seem to get this sorted out, I have been looking everywhere for the content but I just can’t find it. I want to use some basic facial animations for my Metahuman, while using the Metahumans Sample content. According to the Facial Pose Library Quick Start guide I should have the folowing folder when downloading and placing a Metahuman in my project. I tried multiple projects and Metahumans, but the following folder never shows up: Content/MetaHumans/Common/common/PoseLibrary/Face folder.

It’s nice to have some documentation about it, but am I doing something wrong or is the content just not there? Thanks in advance!

The metahuman’s were updated to version 5 and the poses vanished
I just converted all my projects to UE5 and the mh5 models don’t have the poses and idles that the version 4 ones did.
We should have a pack with emotions and all of the phoneme sets
Thre should be basic idles and a set of standard actions that would go in a state machine
Poses are necessary
I don’t want to control rig everything, that’s a waste of my time
What a huge disappointment.
The version 4 metahumans had the poses and idles!

I don’t understand why the MH for version 5 wouldn’t be able to have the poses as well. Can’t you transfer the poses from the UE4 Metahumans to the UE5 Metahumans? If that would be possible I would need to reinstall UE4 again…

Why doesn’t the Metahumans Sample project for UE5 come with those poses anyway, there are some body poses available, but that’s it, not a single facial pose. I really don’t understand the logic for this, instead of going forward and build on making the experience better, they start removing things.

I have face expression poses.
Metahumans → Common → Common → Pose Library - > Face

There is a whole set of sitting, idling, turning, standing, pplus face poses.
without the poses downloading a metahuman is a a waste of my time
because I will have to redownload it when they put the poses back in.

Well I finally managed to get the Facial Pose Library working, I started a completely new project with the 3rd person template and downloaded one of the basic Metahumans. When I add those I do get the folder with the pose library. It doesn’t work with any existing projects, you really need to ceeate a new one.

After that you can migrate the Pose Library to your existing project and use it.
A shame the Idle animation from the Metahumans creator isn’t available, that’s the best animation in my opinion.

How do we get those pose assets converted to animations we can use in sequencer?
