Hello everyone, guys, I’ve been preparing an extensive tutorial for a long time, but as I was editing it, the engine was updated several times, a lot of information became irrelevant, I had to re-shoot the video several times. When version 5.4 is released, there will be many changes in the engine that will make it easier to work with metahumans, among other things. In addition to this, I study a lot myself, I learn a lot of new things, all in order to make a truly useful tutorial. Quality > quantity for me. Moreover I'm currently working on the game Escape The Backrooms and a lot of freelance projects, so I don't have a lot of time. The tutorial will be released eventually when I am confident in it that it will provide real value. Everything has its time. Thank you everyone for support.

Thank you for giving us your time and effort to understand this and by helping us with your knowledge of the engine. Hopefully we will end up seeing your new video when its ready.
If you're getting the FAILED TO MERGE BONES error when exporting from Blender to UE, you need to ensure that your Blender Hierarchy is Scene Collection>Collection>Root>Pose/Root/m_tal_body Not Scene Collection>Collection>*m_tal_body*>Root>Pose/Root/m_tal_body etc Just shift drag Root into Collection, and delete the first m_tal_body, otherwise Blender will export it as a bone and fail to merge with MetaHuman Base Skele Also make sure to apply your scale to m_tal_body before dragging root out of it, to do this hit CTR+A apply scale. Then drag Root out :)
Guys, sorry for the long wait, I am preparing a big tutorial which will cover A LOT of stuff, literally everything about metahumans, how to create them, how to customize them, how to animate them and a lot of lifehacks also! I don't have a lot of time right now, doing some trailers for UE5 assets and environments for games etc. Need to make money for a living, you know how it is... I appreciate each one of you and I read every single comment, thank you for your support, I didn't expect this kind of feedback ❤❤❤

This video helped. But I have a different problem: First problem, my character doesn't have skeletal meshes components like metahuman (head, body, feet etc.). Second problem, my character (the pawn player) has already a skin (naked human skin), and now I want to add clothes to this naked character. But I want my clothing to go on top of the naked body, and NOT substitute a part of the skeleton (as in your tutorial). So for example, how can I add a pair of jeans on top of the naked body without replacing the "legs"? Can you make a tutorial for this situation?

I just found this video and would SUPER appreciate a more in depth video on how to do things. I tried this and even re-posed the mesh to line it all up, deleted the armature, and then tried this, but didn't quite work right.

Nice tutorial, but it seems that your metahuman and clothing meshes line up rather perfectly to begin with. Is there a way to cover the process when the clothing doesn't already have hands and feet and when the pose is not the same? Changing metahuman clothing is entirely new to me and making me crazy. I'm just trying to put a female MH in a nice dress!!

I haven't tried it yet but I'm going to use my Reallusion Character Creator 4 package to repose the clothes to match the Metahuman. I would think the workflow would be as follows. Use Reallusion's Metahuamn Dummy of the matching Metahuman size. Import the clothing as an accessory into CC4. Line up dummy to match clothing. Apply Skin weights to clothing. Pose character back to match Metahuman's initial pose while wearing the clothing. Export clothing as FBX to Blender. Then follow this process.

I tried this tutorial and I was having trouble with trying to add new clothes onto my MetaHuman character; specifically with the rig it seemed. When I tried to do anything that would move the hands, the mesh for the fingers will get "left behind" - I suspect some sort of skinning issue. Anyway my fix for this was where the video said to replace the existing MetaHuman Torso Skeletal Mesh with your clothes' Skeletal Mesh asset I replaced the MetaHuman BODY Skeletal Mesh asset and left the torso alone. This seems to have done the trick for me. The fingers are still a little weird when you try to move them individually but they play nice as a whole now so for my needs this will be good enough. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else ever experiences the same issue I did. Thanks for making this tutorial! The finger thing was a big issue for me but everything else in the tutorial worked fine. Instead of finding a clothing mesh online somewhere, I had an existing rig with clothing that I wanted to basically turn into a MetaHuman with a MetaHuman face and using the MetaHuman Control Rig for better animating and retargeting. So what I did was I had the existing non-MetaHuman character rig in Maya, deleted all the faces for the head, repositioned the rig to be in an A-pose as similar to a MetaHuman A-pose as possible (the rig was in a T-pose by default), deleted history and froze transformations for the whole thing, and then exported only the mesh as an FBX from Maya. Then I did all the Blender steps starting at 3:10 in the video and proceeded as normal (save for the previously mentioned finger issue I had in UE).

So, love this video, it's been a huge help! I've got one question though... Could you maybe run through the same process for an outfit that doesnt come with gloves/shoes? I bought an outfit on CGTrader from Marvelous Designer, and it's a Jacket, Shirt, and pants. No shoes or gloves, so I'd need to use the hands/shoes from my Metahuman, and not entirely sure how to do that...
Very clear, thank you very much. Does it any help to floating head when we use the clothing with way fixing floating head+not loosing any major data on face mocap?
