upgraded a metahuman from the Metahuman creator website from 5.4 to 5.5 and was prompted with a new menu about “Importing a new Metahuman DNA”. Confused as to what this was I hastily clicked import without choosing a skeletal mesh to import the DNA to, whatever that means… And now every metahuman I import in 5.5 including the stock metahumans are all giving me weird textures. And i have no clue how to return them back to normal. Ive tried importing metahumans into fresh projects and migrating them over but nothing is working so now it just seems like all my metahumans in 5.5 are just broken???
First, go to https://metahuman.unrealengine.com/ and upgrade the MetaHuman you need to version UE5.5.
Then, re-download and re-import every MetaHuman you use in your project through Bridge — make sure none of them are from a different version.
The reason is that MetaHuman in version 5.5 use a different material system compared to previous versions. To use them properly, your entire MetaHuman setup in the project must be consistently updated to version 5.5.
