Hi, as of my knowledge (Ubuntu, UE5.5) there is no way to use MetaHuman Plugin (Not SDK) so far but: You certainly can download the MetaHuman and rig/use it for your purpose.
Here is how [Ubuntu]:
As of 2024/12 MetaHuman cannot be downloaded from Fab but via Quixel Bridge.
-
Install quixelBridge as third party from Unreal:
You download the bridge from Epic Games where you probably downloaded UE5.x
https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/download
Then, put it into the Plugins folder of the Engine and start the Engine. -
Create a new project
-
Activate the MetaHuman SDK plugin under Edit > Plugins
-
Go to QuixelBridge and download your MetaHuman from there, it should appear on the left
-
You can download via download button underneath the MetaHuman preview. You can rig/animate/etc. it like normal. The main functionalities I lack (On Ubuntu) is the MetaHuman Identity asset which appears to be currently only available on Windows.
-
Workaround: Use the online version of MetaHuman Creator and download your MetaHuman from there to import customs (like Ubuntu just has a link); This however does not work (as far as i know) with MetaHuman Maker as this is .fbx file
-
Drag and drop the blueprint of the character you downloaded (either your own from MetaHuman Creator or just one from step 5)
Result:
Hope this helps you on how to use it.
