How to Change Lyra Character | Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial

In this video I will show you how you can quickly change the character model in the Unreal Engine 5 Lyra Starter game. It's farily easy and all you need is a character mesh that you want to swap. You can either use a ue4 mannequin rigged character mesh, such as the one I used in this video. Or you can use a UE5 mannequin rigged mesh.

    Nice tutorial! Just a quick tip; you can replace the character without having to change the B_Manny or B_Quinn BPs. Instead find the "Lyra Cosmetics Developer Settings" in the Editor Preferences and set the character BP you want to use in the "Cheat Cosmetic Character Parts" field. You might have to make that character use a retarget ABP but in your example that shouldn't be needed. I've done this for a MetaHuman for example, and there I just needed to set the "Live Retarget" option in the MH BP for it to work.

    Lyra series are coming guys!!! (Or I think so... you should do it @SmartPoly haha!! ) how to... change the map, the weapons, some animations, the main menu, the particles when you die... maybe how to combine lyra with destructible vehicles? there is a lot of stuff there, but I appreciate that you start with the shorter tutorials pls. Thanks in advance and great work!!😉
