Need Help Setting Up MetaHuman on MacBook Pro (M3 Max)

Development Character & Animation

Hello everyone!

I’m trying to set up MetaHuman on my MacBook Pro, but I keep running into problems and I would really appreciate guidance from someone more experienced.

My system:

  • MacBook Pro 14” (2023)

  • Apple M3 Max chip

  • 36 GB RAM

  • macOS Sequoia 15.6

What I’m trying to do:

I want to create a high-quality MetaHuman character and use it for content creation, face animation, and future Unreal Engine projects. I’m ready to learn, but I need help with the correct setup on macOS.

Problems I’m facing:

  1. MetaHuman Creator does not launch in the browser — the page loads, but there is no “Launch” button.

  2. I’m not sure which components I need to install for macOS:

    • Unreal Engine

    • MetaHuman plugin

    • Quixel Bridge / Fab

    • Additional tools

  4. I want to correctly set up the pipeline:

    • MetaHuman Creator

    • Unreal Engine

    • Quixel / Fab assets

    • Live Link Face (iPhone)

  6. I’m new to the technical side, so clear steps would really help.

My request:

Could someone please explain step-by-step what I need to install and how to correctly launch MetaHuman Creator on macOS?

And how to set up the complete workflow for creating and animating characters?

Thank you very much in advance!

hi , metahuman runs well on Mac M silicon system, except the feature that ingesting face pose from mono video (needs decoder for *.mp4 file and livelinkhub app crashed when browsing *.mov file)
