Funny side note: even though MetaHuman Creator is clearly designed for cutting edge realism, the lowest LOD looks like it would fit perfectly in a retro PS1-style game.

ill stream it on my Discord if you want to take a look?

I'm working on stuff right, but thanks for offering. 🙂
plucky kelp
No worries

Sounds like you're enjoying the experience, though.
plucky kelp
It really is amazing
ported one into unreal too and the quality is exactly the same
You can also get a choice of 58 pre-made Meta humans on bridge

How much clothing variation is there? Looks like a lot of those are sharing same assets.

I get a 403 when I log in and press "Start MHC".
plucky kelp
you haven't been accepted into the early access yet maybe?
weary zodiac
Yeah that's what that error means. Just have to wait until you're given access.
tulip crest
to give you an update, I gave this a try, and I disabled "capture every tick" for my capture 2D scene component, and made it capture every 0.08 second instead, and it actually substantially increased performance, especially when I put the character outside of the sky sphere with nothing to render in the background.
My character had 20k polys which was decent, but i only showed upper body
junior hound
only thing i can think of is that they will do that in-house and offer a service.

But there are lots of use cases for AI application. Metahuman can provide great domain randomisation to train social robots and feed them with depth data (as an example)
I would understand banning a couple of use cases, but banning them all... :(
plucky kelp
I would understand banning a couple of use cases, but banning them all... :(
probably simply go paid, free to use to unreal engine but paid if someone want for other projects, fair

newbie question: I am playing around with a multiplayer (Maybe 4-10 players) ...survival...ish prototype. Still using Manny as the player. I thought it could be a fun idea to have metahumans as player characters BUT given the detail on them .... a bad idea for performance I assume?...
plucky kelp
anyone know if is possible pose characters on unreal engine? the idea is take some screenshot, so i was thinking if is possible pose them in the landscape (?)
native spire
anyone know if is possible pose characters on unreal engine? the idea is take so...

newbie question: I am playing around with a multiplayer (Maybe 4-10 players) ......
Bad idea at the default detail levels. You'd need to seriously cut down on detail, texture resolution, LOD, hair detail, etc.
Ohhhh, don't wait for the email to say you're into the early access.
https://metahuman.unrealengine.com/
Check this periodically. Just got in without a welcome email.
Looking forward to playing with this on my lunch

Hey guys. Has anyone been able to copy a face animation to another metahuman? Seems to be more to it than just copy/paste. I recorded an animation with live link face app.
native spire
The detail is just insane
Not figured out if it's even possible to download the custom created humans yet. Can't find a download button, or see them in Bridge after saving...
native spire
Jesus Christ Marie, they're MetaHumans!
native spire
I was half expecting the saved ones to turn up in Bridge after a restart 😄
But yeah, might not be accessible yet
Not to sound ungrateful (this whole thing is so cool) but the hair setup currently for those wondering, is basically just predetermined hairstyles with colour changing. No length or shape adjustment yet.
opaque wave
Not to sound ungrateful (this whole thing is so cool) but the hair setup current...
literally
native spire
I'm also already noticing similarities between heads. This will disappear with more source head scans added to the system, but you can sort of start recognising lip shapes or noses
plucky kelp
really wish they make a library for different clothing style, medieval, victorian, western etc etc
native spire
I also can't seem to get a fully nude character in the editor. I can hide all clothing, but the best I've been able to get is flipflops (and can't take them off). So currently there would be cleanup work required to use these in historical/fantasy settings.
I suppose you could just export to Maya, remove flipflops, and retexture the underwear to be historically period-appropriate 😄
opaque wave
you can probably do that but as of now it's still plenty of work
native spire
Yeah, and frankly, without significant work, these are not current-gen game ready
But that was expected, just worth being aware of as early as possible I guess
The body/head meshes and textures might provide a decent enough basis to creating game-ready characters, but I would say don't expect to be exporting these and dropping your anim blueprint on them and being ready to go
Also, another current limitation (sorry, it really is cool), but this applied to even Virtual Production....
The body is not impacted by the skin selection / age. You can have the oldest looking face you can possible create, but the body will look like a semi-athletic/overweight/underweight 20 year old.
@opaque wave And if you want Walter...
'Wallace' is basically him already 😄

yeah the body is "the worst part", look another person body sometimes
btw i think is early early acess and they want to deliver the product
native spire
Oh of course, definitely not complaining. It's early access and things are bound to be missing. More just making notes for those still waiting to get in and wondering what is feasible currently 🙂
plucky kelp
i see a metahuman video where a guy of the team that's this only the begining and a lot need to be added to metahuman
one thing i really want to see is like in the sims4 or other games, a feature to "illuminate" the area you're "sculpting" can be super useful
native spire
Main limitation of functionality right now seems to just be you can't remove shoes 😄
My favourite feature so far is the lowpoly LOD7
plucky kelp
freaking love this shit, no joke
remember the ps1 meme of the guy on the crowd clapping?

plucky kelp
yeah to realistic want a LOD8

I'm really interested to learn more about their hair card approach, some of the ones that have cards and strands, you can get pretty close up and notice a lot of the individual hairs look pretty closely represented in the cards.

This is actually an interesting aesthetic lol

Hey has anyone figured out how to render the hair in mesh only yet?
I've been working on it now all day and gotten nowhere, I have it rendering on my Oculus Quest 2 but the high LOD only renders with strands hair and not mesh hair
white gulch
Twitter
stone bear
it seems the only way to render mesh hair is to export and reimport and its a long process, there must be an easier way?
I've asked in 2 other discords and gotten silence which I guess means it is not yet possible
quick portal
I made a metahuman
shrewd lake
does the app have enough LOD options to make characters suitable for a top down game?
or is it in-your-face-hyper-realism kind of level of detail?
native spire
Maybe, but the LODs are more for reducing rendering performance cost at a distance, and can look a bit broken close up.
shrewd lake
well top down views usually are from a distance
so how do you get access to the early access preview? Is it just a random lottery?
quick portal
I'm trying to download it to see how it is, but it's stuck in Bridge... Generating 0% for 5 mins

Aun me estoy intentando recrear :
quick portal
Hmm, I guess you can't open this stuff in Blender
plucky kelp
metahumans may only be rendered in unreal engine
static marten
I think you're allowed to edit it in Blender as long as the final render is in Unreal, right?
Since you're not allowed to render it in Maya either
quick portal
Yeah, if you wanted to give the models different clothes or accessories, or adjust the hair or other things you can't adjust in MH, opening it in a tool like Maya or Blender is probably the only way to go about it
static marten
They say in the FAQ that you can open it in Maya to animate it, but not render it. So
Yeah, I'd assume Blender would be fine to
quick portal
Unfortunately since it only exports in .ma it limits its usefulness to people willing to pay 225 eur a month for that
quick portal
Currently attempting to download it in uasset to see if maybe that can export out of editor into something else but I'm not holding my breath
native spire
Maybe this will work? I don't have one downloaded to try it with rn https://cadmonster.org/knowledge/?convert=ma&to=blend
static marten
Also, editing teeth is not nightmare fuel at all
quick portal
lol yeah the teeth mode is fun
quick portal

Yeah I mean as far as I can tell it should really just be a matter of opening it up in Maya and pressing the export FBX equivalent... but I'm not really an expert on how these types of models are set up so it might not be quite that straightforward
static marten
So, Meta Humans is great. The two biggest thing I want is like better hair control, being able to change hair lenghts and such, and more body shape control
Body shape would be easy in a different program I assume, but hair is hard
quick portal
Yeah hair was the one I kinda wanted to be able to adjust more as well
plain haven
Well, I gotta make my waifu photorealistic in one hour. Not sure about the internet connection in midnight though...
plain haven
I also wished Blender support, since I don't have Maya licence and I make strand based hairs by alembic method...
opaque compass
Anyone been able to export a custom metahuman from bridge?
native spire
At the very least you could export the mesh back out of UE4 as fbx, import and just use the body/head shape to make new hairstyles
plain haven
But I guess I could export the mesh from UE4 to FBX, bring it in Blender for hair grooming, then export the hair as Alembic to be imported back to Unreal

Yeah, it's rather difficult, especially avoiding "cosplayer" look.

I am sure there's some resources out there you can use of people making cartoony characters realistic, and you can take cues from that
Just gotta google a bit
plain haven

The challenge for me at least, is trying to make the photorealistic one not looking like a mere cosplay.
static marten
Try and aim for cosplay, and then adjust from that
I think that would probably work
Since you don't have a definite realistic reference, the missing features aren't really something you can draw from.

Full body, but right now the custom ones can't remove shoes
Best you can get is sandles
opaque compass
MetaHuman clothing is fun and giggles, but i don't need that. I need marvelous designer
Oh
static marten
smh, why can't I make them naked
native spire
Body comes in short/average/tall/skinny/average/overweight
opaque compass
That is a bummer
opaque compass
smh, why can't I make them naked
Because of the "NSFW"

Real-time limitations I presume?
static marten
Bodies desperately needs more options, it's like either 100% feminine or 100% masculine. Which is a shame because the face is super fluid between features
native spire
But the creator covers breasts for some reason
plain haven
I mean, if you're just ad hoc put clothes on it, there will be clipping issues

Shall the need arises, i could patch them with real nipples 😂

Ill report back once its export. Generating is 100%.
its just loading for a while now

there's no body under anything
there's just enough body for it to not show that he's hollow lol
native spire
There is, you just have to export it without clothing (custom) or look in the common folder
quick portal
Oh really 🤔
native spire
quick portal
Interesting, will have to take a better look at it
native spire
I haven't managed to get the head material on these common bodies to work

native spire
but the data exists, so it's just a case of working it out
quick portal
Yeah managed to export a body into FBX :)
knotty ivy
Little surprised they didn't include a "super hero" body type in the first release
quick portal
probably sufficient to do some clothes adjustment or such
oh dear is Discord detecting nudity in my image because I cannot upload it here for some reason lol
native spire
Probably will come along, but the priority is on realistic humans. It's quite nice that the diversity and body types represent that already decently well
quick portal
native spire
Just need a slider between the three body weights and height
quick portal
oh my god I think it did think it was nude lol
quick portal
there is nothing whatsoever, I think discord somehow detected it as a nude person
:D
static marten
Ooh
static marten
Just need a slider between the three body weights and height
YES, and between feminine and masculine body types
knotty ivy
Wasn't there a recent game that had to release an update before because you could see nipple if you clipped through clothes?
native spire
Awesome, saves me some time trying to make them look historical 😄
knotty ivy
Also muscle/fat and top to bottom heavy
static marten
I already sent a feedback using the feedback button in the bottom left corner about the body types needing sliders
Remember to use this button
native spire
I need to check, but are the geometry of the body weights different?
As in, the topology
If not, you could set up a morph target in Blender
plain haven
I'm struggling to get 18 yo girl look lmao
quick portal
Oh neat one of my custom metahumans actually downloaded
knotty ivy
If that's the case, the average and skinny models need a decent amount of extra geometry so the large ones don't start to facet
quick portal
so that is working it just takes a long time for it to process at least currently
static marten
I'm struggling to get 18 yo girl look lmao
Try blending Amelia maybe into your look?
knotty ivy
There's probably just a queue behind the scenes
static marten
Amilia looks like the youngest person
opaque compass
It finaly starts to download 😂
static marten
Also mess around with roughness and texture on the skin.
native spire
Use the hand-tweaking tools
static marten
Gotta try base from Amelia and mix it with Asian look
That could probably work
And make sure to look at the skin tab and all the options there, a bunch of things that will affect the age look
native spire
Kinda wish these custom humans could just be a head export
And then attach in engine to the body
native spire
I have haha
knotty ivy
A check box for a modular body and head lock would be nice
native spire
I spammed them with feedback 😛
native spire
One thing I thought was interesting was the choice to use Bridge for this instead of the Marketplace
static marten
Well, the bridge is more private, the marketplace would imply making it public
knotty ivy
Bridge does seem better long term for official content
Don't have to go through 30 official epic levels to find the 5 things you want to use in your project
native spire
True
I just hope they open up some sort of platform for artists to sell clothing, hair, etc.
static marten
It'd totally buy clothes and hair and stuff
Though hair I'd prefer was more adjustable
native spire
Even like, tattoos, makeup, scarring, etc. Opening that up a bit to the community to add to would be nice
static marten
That'd make this tool perfect imo
native spire
Didn't Epic just get funding for a multiverse type platform?
I remember reading that the other day
native spire
Probably all tied into that right
static marten

Epic are killing it man, that Fortnite money is being put to good use 😄
static marten
Indeed
Originally it was the Tencent investment that allowed them to make the Unreal Engine free, and then they made Fortnite that is raking in cash
And now the billion dollar investment fund they got
Like god damn
Epic is currently valued at 26 billion dollars
plain haven
They went from humble shareware publisher to this
static marten
And people are hating Epic because there's no shopping cart on their storefront 
native spire
Offtopic but that's a good business move tbh
UX of shopping carts is bad, easy to leave mid-purchase
static marten
They've confirmed shopping carts are coming tho
plain haven
Wishlist > shopping carts
static marten
But yeah, with MetaHumans now, after everything else Epic has done. Epic is just the number one within digital innovation, no doubt
plain haven
Also, I think I managed to get close to what I want
plain haven
Didn't get the tomboy look, but decided to create photorealistic rendition of my own character instead (MC from my game PAST FUTURE)
Her name is Nala Ishikawa.
static marten
Looks nice
plain haven
The model in-game is anime style, realised with VRoid, so seeing the photoreal rendition feels so surreal 😆

Weird that higher LODs dont really respect the face shape, looks more like something auto and procedural not made for faces

you can use Maya for animation
they fit to the epic skeleton, so if you're using that, that shouldn't be too big a problem
opaque compass
Ah sweet. yeah we are using the Epic Skeleton
native spire
Hard to phrase this appropriately, but is anyone noticing a lot of the characters you start making look Asian really quickly? I dunno, maybe I'm just imagining it, but every slider I try feels like it pushes more towards Asian. Obvs if thats the desired result, great
opaque compass
@native spire I kind of need to agree here with you
I honestly have no idea why. but it does feel like that
native spire
Like, I'm struggling to get a Caucasian nose right now 😄
It is what it is, just something I've noticed
opaque compass
Probably something to do with realising how close we all are in reality.
native spire
Yeah probably! I guess when you go from stereotype character models made purposefully for a specific character, to actual human geometry... It's bound to not quite match up to expectations
Not in a bad way, just, reality 😛
narrow heron
the first two here i made
there's a merge system in it
where you can like
merge apperances in terms of the face
try using that
native spire
Yeah I started with that one, actually that made the 'issue' worse. I feel like I'm dancing around talking about this trying not to be offensive lmao
opaque compass
Can't remember her name 🤔
https://i.gyazo.com/fc8168bae6c6445b590d55a900a9feae.png also what is the Source option here?
Is that FBX?
native spire
Source = Maya file
narrow heron
when you use the system, load in a caucasian preset, and use the morph nose control to change the nose to a caucasian nose
native spire
Yep, still seems to head to more Asian features, I dunno, maybe it's just me
static marten
Pretty sure if you want a more "Caucasian" look, you might want to look into adjusting like the skin texture, and accents
native spire

Yeah must remember it's still very very early days
static marten
Yeah, it's literally less than 24 hours since people started getting access to the early access version
Okay, it's been like 30 hours, close enough

Ok a great tip is: make sure you download the uasset + source
Now i have to wait 30 min again before it downloads 😂

Quite dramatic actually

native spire
Just wish wish wish we could change the overall strand length
static marten
Same, already sent feedback on it
I imagine that will be one of the most common feedback they receive
native spire
I think the only thing that has actually worried me so far is how baked in the characters become once exported
narrow heron
the characters look pretty similar to the creator
native spire
I was hoping things like the body type would be controllable with morph targets, but that might already be out of reach based on the route they've gone

@plain haven oh? I remember somehow finding it out to be Unity, but maybe I have my lines crossed
opaque compass
Still works fine

Bridge is Electron/Chromium tho
Doesn't really matter tho, Chromium also loves RAM

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if epic wanted to buy the marmo guys, small team and lots of good tools, one of the best bakers
rigid grove
short offtopic am i the only one who wishes there would be reference photos and non scanned content in bridge a new library like substance share
opaque compass
Honestly wouldn't be surprised if epic wanted to buy the marmo guys, small team ...
That be epic
rigid grove
they should buy adobe and shut it down
opaque compass
I agree with that aswell
But then they own Substance 🤔 QuixelSubstance by Epic Games?
native spire
Adobe is about the same size net value as Epic
So it'd be a merger and that sounds awful
opaque compass
Yeah that wouldn't be great to be honest haah
I'm going to delete my meta human and redownload it. i don't think its doing anything right now
I'm wonder if they put people in a line for generating their custom metahumans
Like a waiting line

I don't think that's cover the licence, unless your web app also uses UE4

We have 4.26/4.27 support for exporting from the editor but Epic still won't give us a Megagrant lol

Sadly I think you're correct
Wish they had a more open license
plain haven
If MHC has open licence, Epic would've already facing torches and pitchforks from "made from scratch" artists lmao
native spire
I think they will limit use for a metaverse because that's exactly what they are making
sharp dock
Will be interesting to see if they introduce a new platform for the metaverse
Clearly skins and in-game events to Fortnite isn't it
The Metaverse is nothing more than an immersive social network
native spire
I think it'll be the Fortnite social features + Metahuman avatars, VR support, and cloud-based.
plain haven
What if: Metaverse VR
It's like GTA V RP but more realistic
sharp dock
In my opinion it will exist as a 3D/VR layer over top the existing world wide web
static marten
Remember they are gonna be putting the Unreal Engine editor into Fortnite Creative
plain haven
UE4 supports LiDAR scans and what not, carried from the enterprise stuff, so that's possible
static marten
I think it's very likely we'll see Fortnite creative be the platform they use for the metaverse
I'd imagine maybe they'd cut off of from Fortnite eventually once all the tech is built though
sharp dock
I think they're going to really have to battle Apple on that front, because they're supposed to be announcing their VR headset this summer and shipping it early next year. It'll have a processor as powerful as their M1 Macs, with 8k support. Once that's pervasive a couple of years from now then it'll make sense for them to push hard on the VR side

Really?
static marten
Yes, really
sharp dock
Interesting, I didn't know this
opaque compass
Remember they are gonna be putting the Unreal Engine editor into Fortnite Creati...
What does that even mean?
native spire
It'll end up an engine feature. Mod tools is a highly requested thing already from a lot of developers
sharp dock
We're building a metaverse style platform within the browser in case anyone is interested in trying it out!
opaque compass
Oh
sharp dock
Won't that radically increase the build size?
opaque compass
Unpleasent, fortnite made me a bit depressed hehe
sharp dock
Also, there's Core Games which is doing basically the same thing
static marten
I imagine it'll be an optional thing
sharp dock
sharp dock
This just landed on the Epic Games store
opaque compass
Nice logo
static marten
Yeah, Core is interesting
opaque compass
So Core is basically UE4?
static marten
Core is basically the Unreal Engine, but with assets in it
sharp dock
Think Roblox but made in UE4 for the Fortnite crowd.
opaque compass
Unreal Engine Lite?
plain haven
Whaaaat
No option for 4K textures
opaque compass
Thats cool
sharp dock
Yup
native spire
Download 8k and downscale in engine

Whaaaat
No option for 4K textures
I had a similiar reaction :/
static marten
I would not be surprised if we see Epic buying Core, and absorbing it into their metaverse plans
opaque compass
Whaaaat
No option for 4K textures
Nah who needs 4k, when you can do 8k with a GTX650
👀
plain haven
My system has trouble loading 8K texture (D3D device crashing stuff)
opaque compass
I would not be surprised if we see Epic buying Core, and absorbing it into their...
This would only be logical
native spire
Max Texture Size in the texture editor is your friend 😄
opaque compass
My system has trouble loading 8K texture (D3D device crashing stuff)
I don't recommend anyone loading 8k. unless you hate your hardware
plain haven
Also RIP disk space, because my PAST FUTURE project files already surpass 150+ GB or so
native spire
I'll be picking up another SSD when there is another sale 😄
plain haven
Guess I gotta sacrifice my Linux partition for greater good
knotty ivy
Projects like Core are weird to me because I'd constantly want to port things to and from core and the full UE4 editor
opaque compass
I'll be picking up another SSD when there is another sale 😄
Carefull to use them as backup
when SSD's die they die. data is gone
sharp dock
I think Epic's goal is to have an interconnected ecosystem of these games all tied together by the Unreal Engine/Epic Online Services
plain haven
when SSD's die they die. data is gone
HDD gang rise up
native spire
Yeah, I have a bunch of HDD space I use for SSD backups, but they're just so slow 😛
shrewd lake
NAS gang rise up
sharp dock
This is also why they want the Epic Games store on mobile
knotty ivy
Like practically if Epic buys them, the best thing would be to have the UE4 editor to have a "Core mode"
opaque compass
I use SSD's for Windows | Programs | Engines
HDD's for backups
plain haven
There's a reason why servers use HDD to this very day as opposed to SSD
native spire
I could see it being "Jump into any game as your MetaHuman avatar"
opaque compass
There's a reason why servers use HDD to this very day as opposed to SSD
Yes and no, many providers do switch to SSD's
I personally stick to HDD for being a bit more trustworthy
especially avoid those QVD ssd's
knotty ivy
Tons of even old servers have small SSDs or flash storage for the system
opaque compass
Yeah
shrewd lake
tons of HDDs in RAID configuration are probably pretty speedy
with a large cache in front that'd be plenty fast
plain haven
TBH I only use SSDs for playing games.
(and my daily games are either Final Fantasy XIV or classic Doom)
knotty ivy
And newer ones are setup with smart ssd caching
I only use SSDs for applications and Windows, games can go on the slow hhd
knotty ivy
So few directly benefit, and online games, you're always held back by the slowest system
shrewd lake
loading times are way faster across the board
native spire
I have 6TB of SSD, it's becoming an addiction
opaque compass
Because Unreal Engine from SSD is amazinggggggggggggggggggg
shrewd lake
I used to have them in raid
opaque compass
I did buy a cheap 2GB ssd for games tho
knotty ivy
Up until the PS5 and the XboxSx, it's not like games were being designed around SSDs anyway
native spire
Just backup your work to HDD regularly, I have it automated every night
But UE4 on SSD is sublime
knotty ivy
Working projects are on Google drive too
opaque compass
Yeah i have these Seagate backup drives, they backup as soon as new files are detected
Come on
native spire
The amount of Twitch streamers using these is going to be through the roof
native spire
Yeah so long as it's rendering out of UE4
Live link for controlling performance, screen-capture the output
static marten
Ah yeah
ez pz
The amount of vtubers will suddenly skyrocket
I don't even have plans of using my characters for anything yet, I am just having fun making them, lol
native spire
I'm probably going to end up taking the exports and reassembling them myself
I want to blend between faces/body types in-engine, so I'm hoping I can set that up in Blender
My internet is just too slow to download enough to try it
Hmm, you can download custom humans at 2k, but not the example ones 😦
Have to make them in the editor, then save them, and download that instead with the generation time added
sharp dock
@native spire can you try exporting one as .gltf from UE4?
native spire
Just about to 🙂
sharp dock
Just about to 🙂
Awesome
tulip crest
I've been granted access finally 😄
plain haven
I don't even have plans of using my characters for anything yet, I am just havin...
Well, not everyone have full blown mocap setup though.
Most Vtubers, even the Hololivers ones, only use their iPhone X-es just to drive their Live2D facials
native spire
Yeah, an iPhone is enough for vtubing
It captures head movement as well as face
Then they can save up from donations, etc. to get the body tracking
opaque compass
what is a .dna file?
plain haven
So, definitely not skyrocketed, but a potential nonetheless.
plain haven
what is a .dna file?
.DNA file is the genetics. It has many chromosomes.
opaque compass
native spire
Ohhh, I found the separated head mesh!
plain haven
Get it? Biology class.
opaque compass
Oh i get it
sharp dock
This might interest you all, in regards to the head tracking stuff
opaque compass
haha
native spire
native spire
So that, plus the headless body = win
sharp dock
Video I made recently of the web-based metaverse platform been working on

Head tracking using WebGL/Tensorflow.js
opaque compass
there's no Maya head

So that, plus the headless body = win
Patch it with a completely nude body I have and voila.
native spire
@opaque compass which file did you export?
sharp dock
PC/laptop/mobile
plain haven
Then they can save up from donations, etc. to get the body tracking
Eh, not really.
Only select few Vtubers went that far.
opaque compass
<@!244999130135527428> which file did you export?
I just downloaded the Source Asset
plain haven
Full body Vtubers right now are like CodeMiko (which, fun fact, uses Unreal Engine 4)
opaque compass
sharp dock
Barrier to entry is too high for others to pop up like Codemiko
opaque compass
I think so yeah haha
sharp dock
Vtubing/real time translation of one's movements onto a 3D character needs to be democratized imo
sharp dock
Me!
sharp dock
We could probably convert it to .gltf, and then .glb
Want to test it out on my web based platform
opaque compass
That's your best bet 😄
sharp dock
Can't wait
native spire
Are you rendering in UE4?
sharp dock
We've already tested out 8k models on our WebGL platform, works well with our advanced compression we're using
Our platform is threejs (WebGL) and A-Frame
native spire
Because unless you're using UE4 for rendering, you're not allowed to use MetaHuman
sharp dock
Going to submit a Megagrant and see if they'll give us an exception
Screenshot of our platform on the web
Different rooms/spaces you can hop into
All user-generated content
Easy builder tools
With VR support via WebXR
Works on all devices
Proper avatars are really the only thing we're missing atm
opaque compass
Did someone say the MetaHuman fits the Epic Skeleton (Mannequin?)
native spire
I can't imagine you'll get very far trying to render this level of detail in the browser though
I mean the LOD0 of the head is 64,000 tris alone
sharp dock
We've already tested out 8k models, works great with our compression.
We're using a compression library that outputs texture sizes that are on par with PNG files.
native spire
@opaque compass It has it's own skeleton I believe
opaque compass
<@!244999130135527428> It has it's own skeleton I believe
hmm yeah
sharp dock
We want the ability to export WebAssembly/WebGL scenes into our platform eventually
So our platform could become a universal hub for 3D experiences
All client side in HTML5.
plain haven
I will say this though:
Modern web browsers on it's own already use quite a lot of memory and CPU, not to mention most of them are hard set to use integrated GPU instead of dedicated GPU. Put Web GL in it and the hardware usage can quadruple in a blink of the eyes.
cyan dagger
are we allowed to post videos showing MetaHuman Creator on youtube and such?
plain haven
are we allowed to post videos showing MetaHuman Creator on youtube and such?
As long as it's rendered with Unreal Engine, you're good to go
cyan dagger
thanks
well, I am talking about the editor itself
and the process of character creation
native spire
People already have, so I guess so
plain haven
It's a web based streaming app though, so consider using high speed internet when recording so not to disrupt the viewing experience
static marten
Yeah, I think sharing the editor is fair game. Isn't it also rendered in Unreal?

Local Unity creators on Facebook are going to get real salty this morning lmao

Local Unity creators on Facebook are going to get real salty this morning lmao
Share some screenshots add some salt to the wound
native spire
Hmm... Quite a lot of the material sliders in the editor are actually just available in the material instance. The eye material is basically entirely editable after export.
opaque compass
Yep
native spire
Would take a long time to get all of the skin textures exported out though 😦
plain haven
Share some screenshots add some salt to the wound
Oh yeah I would love to 
opaque compass
Would take a long time to get all of the skin textures exported out though 😦
Bulk export?
native spire
Yeah but you'd have to make a character with every single one of those skin textures from the skin slider
Download the whole character from Bridge
My ISP would have a heart attack
opaque compass
Ah yeah, i am also noticing heavy production slows
because now i used a char that isn't tall enough
So now i would need to go over the process of re-downloading it again
Wich takes to long
native spire
Yeah, thats why I think having just the head and body as separate assets makes the most sense
Bodies can be shared and then you just adjust and redownload the head
opaque compass
Indeed
plain haven
I think the short ones are average for eastern Asians 👀
native spire
At least with the current body type selection

I think the short ones are average for eastern Asians 👀
I'm a 191cm tall boi, i only work with tall models

12 bodies total, right?
Pretty much

I'm 177cm and considered the taller one
native spire
UE4 mannequin is 180, which is considered taller than average 😛
opaque compass
Mannequin is smoll
plain haven
Average here (in Indonesia at least) are 160-ish cm for men, while women are around 150-ish cm
native spire
I'm just going to normalize to 180cm for all characters, games with player height changes just adds SO much hassle and mess
plain haven
IIRC Japan has slightly taller average for men (around 170 cm)

I honestly didn't knew that
The More You Know 🌠

Would have been nice if they said what short/average and tall is
plain haven
MetaHuman can be an excuse to learn biological differences across the globe 
opaque compass
like if Mannequin is 180, then Metahuman should stick to 180 Average
Tall is 190 or something
native spire
I would guess average is 180, but the average female body is shorter than the male
native spire
I'll probably end up using average male, tall woman 😄
opaque compass
MetaHuman can be an excuse to learn biological differences across the globe <:ka...
Soon used at schools
native spire
Hopefully it's about the same
opaque compass
plain haven
My character (Nala) is around 157 cm, with 87 breasts size
opaque compass
Average certainly ain't working for me
plain haven
I think the female MetaHuman's breast size is around 75
Definitely less than 80 for sure
opaque compass
I have made 1 character in zbrush
Due to Metahumans that will probably be my last one aswell
lol
static marten
Tall is 190 or something
There really needs to be taller scales. People are taller than that
opaque compass
I think the female MetaHuman's breast size is around 75
No ideaaaa
opaque compass
There really needs to be taller scales. People are taller than that
Yeah, my father is 194, my uncle and nephew above 200
I'm short compared to the rest of my family
native spire
Bodies will change I think, too many missing features so far
Honestly surprised they added the weight options already
plain haven
Knowing the "three sizes" is essential on creating female anime character 🤣
native spire
It'll probably be 170, 180, 190
opaque compass
We need at least up to 220
220cm? talk about a tall human
SuperMetaHuman will include those
static marten
static marten
lol
plain haven
Also the option to adjust breast size in MetaHuman.
My character in MetaHuman feels off without her huge breasts 👀
static marten
I think 220 probably would be reasonable, maybe 210, because that would cover 99% of people
opaque compass
Yeah, i mean That guy is one of a kind
I'm also pretty sure that guy isn't happy at all with being 252, many issue can occur
plain haven
God knows how many times i smacked my head in my grandparents' house with its short door sills

so if i download a pack from megascan and put it in the engine, how do i make it look like a human?
opaque compass
but RetargetPoseMedAvgMale_PoseAsset is missing.
This is only in the MetaHumans example project

now enable groom plugin?

@opaque compass i exported from quixel bridge. they are ready to use? how?
winged zinc
Maybe trying to start with a likeness of myself was not the best idea
Can't even get close
nose and hair are all wrong, and the eye shaping is... well, the controls seem a bit messy
but... for making imaginary people, this is great
glass ravine
wonder how it wil turn out 😛
the groom is working now
still gotta set those project settings

to be honest, the quality of the models is very high, impressive indeed, but the customization and the controls of metahuman creator are a bit underwhelming

damn, bad plastic surgery
opaque compass
ok so @orchid fractal Litterally following the documentation works just fine

Then export bridge to that project, so you have RetargetPoseMedAvgMale_PoseAsset

Ok so let me explain
In your MetaHuman folder
find this skeleton

Open it up
Go to the Retarget Manager
Select Rig -> Humanoid
https://i.gyazo.com/0a6d69279dcf0dbae76bc6c7c200589c.png change Spine values like so
Spine_01 = Spine_02 etc.
same as the docs
Save the Skeleton
orchid fractal
did all this
opaque compass
Done
retarget
skip the Pose stuff
Its not perfect
But there's no Pose file from the MetaHuman beta unless someone knows more
orchid fractal
are the finger of your model ok after retargetting?
opaque compass
Not 100%
Not sure how to fix that specific part yet
Its better with the sample metahuman
but logical they have that Pose file wich corrects a couple of things

Having a fully fledged character system built into Unreal is gonna be great, especially if you need to get some high quality characters out quickly, but
My concerns about all the hours that I've put into learning how to sculpt and work on likenesses etc. etc. being pointless are... very much gone 😅
I'm not sure if I just missed something, but.. it seems somewhat limited?
So far, every metahuman character that I've seen appears to have a set of features present throughout all characters using the system

Here's what I would do:
Export the head from Unreal into FBX. I wouldn't concerned about the material, so long as the slots are there, but YMMV.
Bring in a full body base and match it with the MetaHuman head. Also matching the rigging and whatnot.
Create your clothes using what you have at this point. Again, I wouldn't concerned about the materials because it won't carry through, but the slots are.
Once that's done, import them into Unreal, then create the materials accordingly.
Also, be careful when rigging with Blender. Due to it's strange bone rotation orientation thingamajig, you may ended up having a spaghetti monster with flying human head instead.
(Ironically learned the bug when dealing with anime characters)

There's an option for automatic bone orientation in the import fbx options that usually solves that
