Totally confused by Metahuman Identity vs Metahuman Creator

Just getting into Metahuman Animator, and want to use the Metahuman perforamance feature. I can create an identity from video, but if I want that to leverage any of the features of the MetaHuman Creator - hair, skin color, aging, etc - and then re-import it back to my project, I can no longer use it as a MH identity and use the MH Performance editor for animation.

Is there a tutorial, free or paid, that really explains this stuff? The dev docs are a lesson in obfuscation at best.

Thanks.

This is a really good walkthrough. I think I have a grasp of the workflow and could answer further questions.

Thanks! I’ll definitely check that out and come back if I have more questions.

Yep, that answered all of my questions, I understand it a lot better now. It feels like early days for MetaHuman Animator, meaning, it’s not quite finished. At least I know the workaround for now. Hoping in the future applying the face animation to a MH doesn’t disconnect the head from the body.

Anyhow, thank you again!

You’re welcome, and I agree. It seems we shouldn’t have to go through those extra, non-intuitive steps in order to blend head and body. Hopefully Epic will absorb this feedback and figure something out for future versions.
