MetaHuman Crowd sample location

Hi Epic,

I was hoping to take a look at the new Metahuman Crowd support in the 5.8 preview. I have the code and the Metahuman Crowd plugin is there but where can I find the sample project mentioned?

Thank you!

Glad to hear you’re interested in crowds! The sample is planned to release on Fab on the same day as 5.8.

I am interested too!!! :clap:

Can we assume this does not mean the preview release of 5.8?
Anxious to explore this as well!

Unreal Engine 5 8 MetaHuman Crowds Sample in 1 Minute Tutorial

Hi,
Question 1: Is runtime equipment swapping possible with MetaHuman Crowd? Is it possible to implement a system that swaps equipment (such as tops, pants, shoes, and hats) at runtime? I’ve thought of two potential approaches, but I’m not sure if they are viable:

  1. Dynamic Assembly:
    1. UMetaHumanCharacterInstanceBlueprintLibrary::DuplicateMetaHumanInstance()
    2. UMetaHumanInstance::SetSingleSlotSelection()
    3. UMetaHumanInstance::Assemble()
    4. UMetaHumanMassRepresentationSubsystem::RegisterInstance()
  2. Asset Unpacking: Right-clicking a MetaHumanCollection then clicking “Unpack Assets”. This would mean using the MetaHuman plugin solely for asset creation and management.

Question 2: Adding BlendSpaces to UAnimSequenceTransformProviderData.Is this feasible? I am considering these two methods:

  1. Mimic how sequences are set up and add them individually into the RootProvider.

  2. Add a UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere) TObjectPtr<UAnimSequenceTransformProviderData> MyRootProvider; directly inside UMetaHumanCrowdEditorPipeline.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I’ve been trying to get this to work all day. I’ve enabled all the Metahuman plugins, I have downloaded the Metahuman Creator Core Data. I have downloaded the content off of Fab, but this is all I am seeing in my Plugins folder. No other Metahuman Crowd content. Any idea what is happening?
