Level Up Your Metahumans With Scan Store Metahuman Identities and Textures 

lol

Letsa go

Thankyou, yes I did all the boring wrap stuff for you :)

Thanks so much Josh! I hope you like them :)

Cheers! yes I could do some nice wrinkle maps, were actually working on a prototype for that at the moment :)

Thanks you so much! I’m really glad you like what we’re doing :)

Thank you I’ll do my best :)

Cheers and my pleasure :)

My pleasure :)

Thank you!

Cheers, drop me an email if you like jamie@ten24.info I’m happy to send you over some textures. I used your videos a lot when I was trying to learn unreal so I’m happy to repay the favour.

Thank you, and it’s my pleasure :)

Thank you!

Thanks you, I’m glad it’s helpful.

Thank you so much!

@@3dscanstore do you have a tut on Metahuman rendering, regarding ideal settings?

@@davidmonteiro6822 no not at the moment I’m afraid but I was thinking about doing one in the new year.

Thank you!

Thank you so much 😀

Coming your way!

Thank you!

Oh shit actually? I'm gonna check that out thanks

Unfortunately they apparently made the video during a special offer period and just didn't think about it. Without a special offer, these prices are normal. If possible, just wait until there are special offers from this section again (newsletter) That's how I do it too :-) By the way, I also make music and apparently it's a common practice in the industry to publish special offers every day that only cost a fraction of the normal price. So I bought various plugins (EQ's Reverbs etc.) for €29 instead of €200. Of course, €200 is not the “normally calculated” price in sales, they do a mixed calculation. The big disadvantage of this practice is of course, that buyers without a special offer often feel cheated, when they see the prices one week later or so... So, in this case: subscribing to the newsletter is good!

@@stephanbuth8195 Nope. If you pause the video when he's on his website, you can see the regular price was 30, and it was discounted to 13.50.

@@stephanbuth8195 you can see in the video the list price was 30, which was then discounted to 13:50.

Seems like you just don't understand the value of this type of work

Hey Chris, I could certainly do something on metahuman animator, but to be totally honest I would just be repeating what countless other tutorials have said. I’m going to do a Portrait Lighting tutorial next I think. Then maybe after that I could do one on MHA but honestly I think it would be a bit of a waste of time for me as no one would really watch it due to the info already out there :)

Thank you, I used the metahuman animator plugin with my Phone 14 to capture some animation :)

Thank you! yes we are looking at rigging those and having them Unreal Ready next year :)

Cheer :) I’ll see what I can do :)

Thankyou! I’m glad you like them :)

Thank you so much! I’m afraid custom wrinkle maps for these would represent a economically unviable product. Doing the 6 extra expressions, retopologising, cleaning wrapping and projecting them would add years worth of work to the project. And it simply wouldn’t be viable for a team our size. As cool as they look I doubt we will do huge sales figures and I couldn’t justify a project that long for something like this. We don’t have Epic level funding :) so the choice was lots of diversity and heads with metahuman wrinkle maps (which work well) or a few heads with wrinkle maps. So we chose the former as it allows us to sell them cheap and have a lot of cool diverse faces and maps on there :)

We are working on a fully captured head now with all the wrinkle maps, just to see how it would look. 🎉

Great. I'll be waiting for that!

Cheers :) yeah its all about the rigging and unreal is a great piece of software for lighting and rendering too.

To blend the line you would either have to match the body texture tone and colour to the head texture and then just overlay the original head texture on top of the scan texture and use a large brush of heavily feathered selection along the bottom edge to delete the scan texture and reveal the matching head texture. Then they would match up. or you could do it the other way around and match the head to the body texture and do the selection delete along the bottom edge. Either way would work.

I’m sure you could.

*a metahuman in UE5 workflow i mean

Im going to look into this next week, Ive not tried rendering our hair in UE yet.

any update about this? Would be awesome if your hairpackages work within unreal@@3dscanstore

We could do body textures no problem but we don’t have corresponding body textures for these heads as they were only head scans. But I could match them up and colour correct them. I’m just not sure if it’s worth it. As 99% of the time they are wearing clothes. Seems like a lot of work for something most people won’t use.

They are just stretched at the mesh moves.

Thanks :)

You can use these textures on any metahuman :)

Cheers :)

You can just use the textures, they will work with any metahuman. You don’t have to do the mesh to Metahuman part of the tutorial :)

Yes you can indeed :)

yes they are compatible with all metahumans :)

Yes you can indeed, just drop us an email if you would like to upgrade and we can sort it all out for you :)

Yes you can indeed. The texture will work on any metahuman :)

@@3dscanstore ty

Yep, it requires a little bit of work. We can’t sell actual metahumans, that would be totally against the Epic terms and conditions.

Cheers, I'm really glad you like it! I'm afraid we cant scan anyone under 18. Child protection is very important to us and we dont want to see anything like that being misused by bad actors.

fully agree, i just bought a few to try but i was struggling to find any hero/main characters.

Hey! archetypal hero characters are very hard to find in real life. A lot of the guys we have on here are super attractive models but the lack of hair and lighting always makes them look a bit strange. If you give me some examples of the types of faces you are looking for I will see what I can do during our next scanning session ;)

​@@3dscanstore Hey! Thank you for answering! I know exactly what you are talking about and it is true! I have a Life Action DP Background so of course Lighting and Hair/Costume Design play a huge roll.. but the thing is you can´t make an action hero from a general or attractive person. Leonardo di Caprio as an Action Star? No.. But Harrison Ford definitely. So it would be nice to have Characters to play lead Roles, like I am looking for right now for a Sci-Fi UE5 Mini Series. A man who needs to travel through different Worlds through Portals, to get back in time to his homeworld or his evil Brother will steal his thrown and his wife. So for that I need a hero Character like the main Character from the Game: THE LAST OF US. A Person who went through a lot. Not necessarily with scarfs or Tattoos.. REACHER is a good example as! The Main Character has this "action" Face. I will show the WIP/ Previs soon and of course the final episodes on my new YT Chanel which I just made exactly for that: ru-vid.com/show-UCkmPvfduLCYbFt8XYumbsjQ If I can/will use your "products" I will of course mention you! It is just a great resource!

@@mayastaticIll see what I can do :) the videos on your channel look great btw :)

@@3dscanstore Thank you! I am so much behind.. I already have footage captured.. hours.. But I can´t find time to edit them to upload.. but I will until end of year post the first video. Merry Christmas and I´ll keep watching out! Thanks!

You need to use the metahuman animator or live link to animate the metahuman face. It’s just a plugin you need to enable in the plugins menu. There are lots of tutorials for it on RU-vid. Check out Bad decisions studios tutorials :)

@@3dscanstore Thanks for the reply. I can animate them in the project they were created in using those methods. However what I've done is made a new UE project, downloaded the metahumans I previously made from quixel bridge to my new project and they don't download with an identity so you can't apply animation. I'll keep looking.

@@pandoraskeyboard yeah the metahuman identities that we supply won’t be saved to your quixel bridge metahumans. They are per project.

ok I just figured it out. if you have a (VT) in your image texture then it means that you are using Virtual textures (Udims) which the metahumans don't use. the solution is to double click on the texture with the VT and uncheck Virtual texture and save. then it will work like a charm ! :)

As long as they are in metahuman yes, all the textures are baked to the metahuman UVs. If you want something more universal with Ztools and 16k textures for custom work take a look at our HD heads on the store :)

@@3dscanstore thank you

There is 45% off at the moment if you're quick :)

@3dscanstore missed it and bought to full price :)

@@martinmenso6671 drop me a mail Jamie@ten24.info :)

Thankyou, and I'm afraid we're not at the moment but maybe next year! we have a big project coming up.

@@3dscanstore oh that’s awesome, yes this would be around may-June ideally.

Cheers ;)

noticed it also shows VT on the textures dont know if that might be part of the issue

worked it out.. Just right clicked and there was an option to make it a normal texture !

You need to disable LODs on the metahuman. Have a look on YT for some tutorials there are a few good ones. It’s very easy to do :)

@@3dscanstore ah thank you! After a while I found it out as well. This nasty lod -1 is the reason for all problems in the world, including poverty and war.

Yes we accept all major credit cards on the store you can pay from any country in any currency. Prices are in GBP as we are a UK company but you can still pay in Dollars it will automatically do the conversion for you.

@3dscanstore Awesome thanks!

yes check the free section on our website www.3dscanstore.com

Thanks you guys are so amazing@@3dscanstore

Literally the first two shots of the video are white people. Not sure what your talking about.

I think this looks pretty good for clothing. metatailor.app/

No offense, but that is on you right? They are offering these heads. You will have to learn how to do the rest. I know it's not as easy as googling how to make an apple pie, but there are full body assets and software that can parent the skeletons together, match the skin colors and feather the seem etc. Yeah takes work, but look at the level of quality possible now. Only limit is your knowledge. Nearly every tool needed is free.

Being specific is way more helpful than being vague and condensing. It sounds like you barely even have an idea of what you’re talking about.

Ok

It’s worth it, they have a deal going right now too for only 17 dollars. The skin fits on any MetaHuman model you put them on so you’re not stuck using one model. Most importantly they’re higher quality than the MetaHuman base textures which is a drastic difference
