This is artist-friendly and it allows users to see just how their scan aligns with the closest default MetaHuman character. Having imported a mesh users can go further and refine their character in MetaHuman Creator with interactive sliders on facial regions between the imported solution and the closest standard preexisting Metahuman. The new tools go much further than just an import function. This must lead to a huge explosion in digital humans.

By using the Epic Metahuman as a base, users get vast interchangeability of all the other data and metadata on offer for MetaHumans. Rigging has always been such an interchange issue, as there is no industry standard. In addition to providing a tool to make the new Metahuman look like a specific person, that same character will now be built on a unified, default rig, enabling all metahuman animations and simulations to be applied without special retargeting. This will open up the use of metahumans enormously. With this new feature, rather than trying to match a face by eye, using only the MetaHuman Creator tools, users can now build a MetaHuman from a scan. Until now the only characters users can create were manual variations from the base MetaHumans. This overcomes a huge limitation of Metahumans, naturally, since the first release of MetaHumans users have been after tools to match to a real person.

This enables users to take their own custom facial mesh and convert it into a MetaHuman, fully rigged and ready to animate. The new major feature of the new MetaHuman Plugin for Unreal Engine, is Mesh to MetaHuman. In addition to the new Mesh to MetaHuman feature, there is support for the new character rigging, animation, and physics features focused around UE5. This new early release allows user to import their own mesh and create photorealistic digital humans, complete with hair and clothing.
