I hesitated to buy this pack because of the low rating (2.9/5 when I purchased). I bought it anyway and I’m giving it 4/5. Here’s the status as of today:

  • This is a big pack (12+ GB) with a lot of content.

  • The content is useful: many missing-but-needed MetaHuman morph targets, about a dozen usable MH outfits, pre-built characters, and ready shading setups (e.g., tattoos).

  • Weak point: documentation is extremely thin. This is a complex system, and the videos say almost nothing - if you want to do anything beyond the basics, you end up reverse-engineering the blueprints.

  • Issues: there are small bugs (some even visible in the official videos); not every hair fits cleanly, etc.

Overall: it works. After enabling the listed plugins it ran out of the box in UE 5.6; I didn’t need extra bug-fixing. But the overall UX is the opposite of “user-friendly.”

Suggestions for the developer (constructive):

  1. Ship a comprehensive written manual. Many of us use AI assistants; with a proper doc an AI could answer “how do I achieve X with this system?” I’m integrating this into a complex 3rd-person template for both player and NPCs, and there’s zero guidance on NPC creation. Use AI to help author the docs if needed.

  2. Provide a downloadable demo. For a higher-priced pack, this matters.

  3. Rework the video tutorials. Remove fumbling and visible bugs; outsource if necessary.

  4. As a user-friendliness benchmark, look at KK Design - Sci-Fi Colony (recent purchase of mine).

  5. Spend a couple of hours on the demo map: proper lighting and post process. Screenshots, demo, and tutorials should showcase the assets in a clean, high-quality scene.

No offense intended - this is meant as constructive feedback for the dev and context for buyers.

Important for buyers: this pack is not compatible with UE 5.6 parametric MetaHumans. Morphs do not work on parametric bodies or faces. The pack targets legacy MetaHumans (Fixed bodies / pre-5.6 pipeline). If you are on 5.6 using parametric MetaHumans, this will not work as expected.

Thank you for the detailed review.

Hello @I_Create_Art in regard to @ekhnaton last point, is compatibility with parametric 5.6+ metahumans planned? Thank you in advance.
