hey man this is an absolutly amazing tutorial, but I wanted to let you know there is a plug in for blender I use that automates a lot of your workflow called MetaReForge. It might help speed up your workflow when working in custom metahumans. Very impressive that you figured this whole process out by yourself though, amazing job! I'm definitely subscribing to see what other amazing techniques you come up with!

@Leb3s Месяц назад

Hey man! Thank you for this video! Any tips on how to move the mesh symetrically or very similar on both shoulders like you do in 03:56? From what I can understand from my basic blender knowledge, the model needs to be perfectly symmetrical for "enable mesh symmetry" to work but the metahuman is not perfectly symmetrical? :D

@Han3D Месяц назад

Yeah somehow X symmetry doesn't work on metahuman mesh when I tried in Blender. What I come up with right now is using lattice? It would be more time consuming but probably work :)

@TronikXR 4 месяца назад

This is an amazing tutorial! Thank you for sharing! How would you create morphs if youre not a modeler? For example , if I have a mesh of Kazuya that I can import into Blender, how would I use it to create morphs for the Metahuman Mesh? Would I have to incorporate a program like Wrap4D into the workflow? And if so, where would it fit?

@Han3D 4 месяца назад

Hmm since we have to start from the original rigged metahuman mesh, I don't think that would work from the mesh which is not from metahuman. But I tried only vanilla blender for this workflow so far, if you use paid plugin or addon, maybe there's something we can try! I haven't try Wrap4D yet so I'm not sure that works sorry haha but Mesh Morpher which is paid addon is also used for creating morphs. So you can check this as well))

@TronikXR 4 месяца назад

@@Han3D Thank you! I figured as much. I have Metapipe and Mesh Morpher Lite so I'll try those, but your workflow seems alot easier than using those plug-ins that's why i was wondering.

@CidersLounge 3 месяца назад

Any tips on how we might clean up the mouth animations? Do you just repeat the steps for the other morph targets that exist? For example in your video it seems like the mouth pulls downwards when speaking and looks a bit unnatural.

@Han3D 3 месяца назад

Yes as I know, iterating morph target is the way to clean up. And the character on this video is made little grumpy expression as a default haha. So if I fix this, I would push mouth up little in Blender shape key, or make a new shape key to push up a bit and then in unreal, tweak the morph target value)

@ZaJanoyNaFilippiny Месяц назад

Hi, Are you sure your facial blend shapes are connected to the rig after importing the custom head? Can you do an experiment? Create a custom blend shape for any rig movement. For example, move the mouth open controller and modify the blend shape "jaw_open" to, say, make the nose grow. When the character opens their mouth, the nose should grow. Then check if, after importing to UE, you get the same result when using the mouth open controller. Many people who import custom heads don’t realize that the connection between corrective blend shapes and the rig is broken because facial movements are controlled by joints.

@Alexander_Beim 29 дней назад

yeah. Is for me also interesting.

@Han3D 28 дней назад

I didn't touch any rig, just tweaked the mesh :) so the blend shapes make the mesh move, rigs stay

@Han3D 4 месяца назад

@AdyRian 2 месяца назад

Can this works with an charater with a non human head like an lizard warrior or something else?

@Han3D 2 месяца назад

Basically you make any character in this workflow but since we should start from metahuman, if you deform a lot, it would be unnatural. Because we have to preserve every vertices, only move locations so there must be some areas stretch a lot if you make lizard face from human face and also for the bodies as well

Do I need to sculpt in blender? I want to bring it to zbrush

@Han3D 2 месяца назад

You can use zbursh as well but since I'm not a Zbrush expert, I don't know how to put morph data in Zbrush. In Blender, there's mesh morph data called 'shape key' so it's converted into morph target (maybe layers and morph target brush does this?). So every rig is preserved. I'm pretty sure Zbrush has that function as well. Please let me know how to do in Zbrush if you don't mind :)

@Han3D 3 месяца назад

If you edited in shape key in Blender, exported, then imported in Unreal without any error message, it would be okay. If you see the shape you edited in the viewport, you need to connect body morph node as well like you did for face morph. I think that's the only thing you missed in Unreal
