Mesh Morpher allows you to create morph targets easily from within UE4 Editor.
Mesh Morpher allows you to improve your workflow removing the need to re-import the assets every time you make a change. You can modify existing morph targets, create new morph targets or remove them without re-importing everything.
This plugin is under continuous development and improvement.
Please get in touch with me on my discord server or on e-mail with suggestions, bugs or any other questions.

Any chance of a morphs baking feature in the future? It would be super cool to save on morph target calculations after a create-a-character is finalized in-game.
That said I adore this plugin, it is exactly the kind of thing I was going to start working on and then I saw it already existed. Instant purchase
Hey, thank you for you feedback and kind words. Yes, I have some baking feature in mind and also exporting morph targets to static meshes.
I’ve been working a little bit on cleaning code and increasing stability as well in the last 2-3 updates. After update 1.1.0 (which is already submitted and it’s based exclusively on improving the existing functionality) I’ll move forward to implement new features.
Implemented Brush Indicator - Color and Thickness options for Sculpt Tool
Implemented new brush Type: Sculpt (viewpoint)
Implemented new brush type: Plane (viewpoint)
Improved overall experience with the Sculpt Tool
Better Save function which uses the engines implementation
Various back-end code fixes
UE 4.25: I’ve adapted most of the code to be compatible with UE 4.25. Unfortunately, I feel like 4.25 version is kind of unstable right now with huge undocumented changes and I can’t submit the update for it as there’s an impact in Mesh Morpher functionality. I’m going to continue to investigate, see what others find out before moving forward.
Known bug: Save button gets enabled only after add/remove/rename morph targets or changing morph target selection. This will be fixed with **version 1.1.5 **allowing the button to get enabled also whenever a Morph Target is modified. (fixed)
Implemented a Context Menu for Morph targets list which allows you to right-click and do basic actions like: add/remove/rename etc (with version 1.1.3)
Update 1.1.5 is Live!
Save Button gets enabled also when a Morph Target is modified not only when changes to the Skeletal Mesh occur.
Fixed a bug with selecting and deselecting Morph targets in the Morph target List that was forcing the user to double-click when changing Morph Target selection.
To be able to keep track of bugs easier and to follow up more consistently I’ve started a Backlog project for Mesh Morpher.
All reported bugs will receive an ID, once the bugs are fixed, the ID will be posted as resolved.
Known Bugs:
**[MM-1] **Empty material Slots in Skeletal Meshes Crash editor when Mesh Morpher has Existing Material option selected. Workaround: Set a material to all slots.
**[MM-2] **Deleting a Morph Target and then renaming an existing Morph Target to the previous deleted name will cause a crash.
