Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial Make a Playable Metahuman in Just 5 Minutes! 

Great tutorial man, you saved me a lot of time, especially on how much more simpler is your tutorial... I really don't get how those guys manage to stretch those videos to 15 minutes without actually explaining the errors and stuff they're doing - and then you come and wipe the floor with them. In short: You're awesome, thank you!

Searched many tutorial for metahuman,This video is the best . Simple ,newest version ,explanation😊 Getting close to my first game! Thanks

After watching a bunch of tutorials and being recommended a $90 plugin on the Marketplace that handles static mesh merging, this was by far the quickest and easiest method I've used. Thanks a ton for this!

Thank you for such an easy to follow tutorial. I watched so many and yours, was by far the best. You deserve a sub. Just need a tutorial now for changing vehicles.😉

Excellent, short and simple. Thanks brother!

Very good tutorial...I have this on standby every time I set up a playable metahuman....Great job!!!

Hi! Here everything went well, all the steps! Thanks a lot for the class :D

Thank you so much for this tutorial! It has been so freaking helpful!

Great video, top notch. Straight to the point. liked and sub. looking forward to more simple content like this. Cheers.

Short sweet and to the point well done

Great tutorial! To the point!

Beautiful tutorial! Thanks very much, trying to learn this a few hours before a game jam XD

You save my life! Many thanks! Perfect tutorial!

Thanks! Great Tutorial.

@4:31 in 5.1.1 you won’t need to copy the BP_thirdpersoncharacter controls it was fully set up for me to control after that. You should be able to skip to @5:21 and continue on from there.

So helpful!! Thanks mate!

thank you so much, very clear video

Dude, so sweet! thanks a bunchs

Incredible, simple mode, super easy. Great tutorial. From Brasil

Thank you so much!!

Goodjob! I knew a fellow South African would be able to help me out the quickest!

thanks this was very useful! in my case after everything I was still watching the default third person model, but I just click on PlayerStart > Game Mode > Default Pawn Class (there I selected my character) that solved the issue. Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you very useful!

hello, first of all, thank you very much for the video, I have a question, after making a live target, the arms of the metahuman are slightly raised. How can I find a solution to this.

thanks bro u are the best !!!! can you teach us how to add armour and use magic skills. thanks for taking your time to teach us.

subscribed 😍🔥 good work keep going

Appreciate you brother thanks you soo much ♥️

thanks for simple solution, you are the one! :*

Thank you. Do you have a tutorial on how to setup metahuman animations as unreal montage?

im back once again thank you

Great one!

thank you so much❣

Very good, you rock bro

For the begin play, you can probably just link the parent begin play instead of copying the entire graph over. To get the parent event function you need to rightclick the event begin play in the child blueprint. The other custom events should be inherited from parent class unless you need to override them in the child class.

Hi there, i did all steps as followed however my metahuman isnt letting me move it as it says at the bottom of the screen when im back on my project 'No level sequencer detected. Please edit a Level Sequence to enable full controls' , is there anything i can do for it to work, im new sorry if this made no sense, thank you!

Thanks man this was very helpfull

really helpful!

your method is more simple,thanks

Baie dankie! Jy het my regtig baie gehelp, my maat!

thank u soo much broo 🙏🙏

hi, very interesthing tutorial... i got it but my metahuman does not go in the same direction of the camera movement... foe example if click forward he goes, but the body turns to the right, if a click backwards he goes but the body turns to the left and so on... why is this happening?

thank you! 👍👍

When I open up BP_ThirdPersonCharacter's Event Graph there's no Add Input Mapping section with a custom event what should I do?

100/10!!! hahaha thanks!! :D this helped me a lot! :D

thanks for the video

Also another thing, its only necessary to copy over input mapping, just the top one at begin play. Because it is a child of third person, it will have the inputs working.

Great tutorial, everything works just fine. I have a small issue though... The metahuman's arm/elbow is a little more bent compared to Manny/Quinn, so when retargeting, it looks a little weird if you focus on it. It tries to straighten out the arm (to make it like Manny/Quinn) but the hand stays as-is. Any ideas how to deal with this? (I could provide pictures if description is unclear)

Hello, i am having an issue whenever i upload the meta human then the skin of my character will start auto blinking. What to do?

Can we somehow convert the BP_Metahuman to SKE_Metahuman(skeleton mesh)? I already made my all character sequences with the UE5 Mannyquinn.

thjankyou!! Could you PLEASEEEE make a tutorial on how to make him ride a bike., there are so many people asking for that! thankyouuuuuu

I tried 3 times to get metahuman to work on my own, but I failed every time. Your tutorial finally helped me. There are options that I didn't know they even exist or what they do. UE is so complex and learning material is very limited. Thank you for this video man, appreciate it.

@muller_digital i'm having so much trouble getting my meta's hair to not float away from its head. everything works perfectly when i follow this step by step except the hair on my head. any recommendations?

*Chefs Kiss* Nothing else needs to be said! Hell yeah!

Love'u bro! Thanks

Is it possible to use UEFN Metahumans in the normal Unreal engine ?

Absolutely amazing man! I've seen so many tutorials where the guys just clicks/drags/clicks, etc., done - with no explanations. You clearly know what you're doing and explained this very well. It's 100% working in my project.

man thank you

any solution for controls not working after reparenting metahuman? such as blocking or lock on?

Yo can you help me I did all the steps and my character isn't moving at all

did the exact same but after testing it out, my character does no longer crouch? anyone know why its no longer crouching when pressing the key ingame?

this is great! I got it working but for some reason its not animated running. its just stuck in the pose while moving around the base map. How do I fix this?

ive got an issue when using play mode it leaves the original model there whilst the 3rd person characters running about anyone know how to sort this

Could you possibly explain or do a tutorial on using Mixamo or Marketplace animations? Would I just need to make sure the 3rd person character can play the animations and the live retarget fixes the rest?

After that, is it possible to record the human player animation in a sequencer, than bake into a rig, to make some modification on keyframes ?

thx!

everything was fine but the skin and hair doesn't import to UE even with the LOD change and groom plugin :(

Can I make a copy of the player character and then replace it with a metahuman character? When I do this, the character's appearance does not change, his appearance remains a robot

I did this but my animations are not working , any idea how to fix that?

bad , it say error bluprint runtime eroor enablemaserpose etc ...

Good video but please do something about the web cam it some times covers the function and im left trying to guess which button you pressed

I don’t know why I get error, it says „this blueprint „self“ is not a pawn, therefor ‚target‘ must have a connection. Pls help :(

Thank you!, i did everythink like you show but i didnt get the animation for it, its floating when im "Walking"

Can't change BlendSpace 1D BP_ThirdPersonCharacter on BlendSpace how to replace BlendSpace 1D BP_ThirdPersonCharacter. to my BlendSpace THANK YOU

Hey, I got a question! So, I followed your steps exactly, but for some reason only A and D work for movement. Space jumps, but I can't go forward or backwards. Any suggestions?

Hey man great tutorial. At 3:54 I can't see where you clicked live retarget. What section is that under?

bro you are number 1 xD

1:35 i didnt get no errors from this part of the video on my character so i just skipped it, thankfully

Its better to link it directly with the animation blueprints, I had a project where i made a full body IK for VR and the retargeted mesh was glitching and flickering as hell prp caused by a low frame rate the metahuman skeleton was not exactly on the other skeleton and had a latency. Change the Blueprint of the Metahuman to a Pawn Actor and connect the animations and copy all Nodes from the Pawn you where using. Retargeting is trash.... although it works fast i guess it depends on what you are doing.

LEGEND!!!

Nice! Curious, will you do any tutorials on how to implement a character created in blender into unreal? Currently trying to work on my own blender character

Very good video! It has also worked for me so far and looks good. I followed the instructions in the video step by step. However, when I finish my game preview I get the following error, so far I have not been able to fix it. Maybe you can make an updated video or someone can help me in the comments. Error code from message log: Blueprint Runtime Error: "Accessed None trying to read property SkeletalMeshComponent". Node: Branch Graph: EnableMasterPose Function: Enable Master Pose Blueprint: BP_Playable_Antonio

How fix live link body?

How do I copy the blueprint and paste it on other one? Sorry I’m a newbie😅

Wow gj mate, can you make a tutorial how to add mixamo animations than?

GJ!

Why my character is not moving with animations after put the rendering visibility false in the mesh? When it is not showing up the character moves in the map without moving any animations the character is static. Does any one knows why?

Great tutorial, so i can just direct my animations to manny and it will act upon the metahuman? Since the meta humab is attached ?

Hi so I fallowed your guide the the letter and for some reason after I finish the last step starting at 4:34 I get a lot of errors saying "This blueprint (self) is not a pawn therefore "target" needs a connection and idk how to fix that issue can anyone help

OMG omg goood, thenks =) Can change cloth from marvelous designer? I have a costume(dress) with a Marvelous designer how do I put it on this avatar?

useful stuff but why do you copy the code when inheriting from 3rdperson bp? just add a call parent to begin play, then the new code, and no crazy bad practice code duplication is needed...

Why do you need LOD with Nanite?

Nice

Thank You Merci Danke Спасибо شكرا (Shukran)

merci je comprend pas l'anglais jai reussi a regler ce probleme

If your metahuman looks like Andrew Taint, you have a betahuman.

Any idea why feet don't retarget while the rest of the metahuman does?

i wish it worked better for the short metahuman

What about replication? I have no head then...

That meta with the braids @ 0:32 look like he cant be trusted.. ijs

Is this part of programming considered coding?
