Hi everyone! Let me know what you think about Metahumans so far in the comments below! :)

[vaughansplace]

I'm wondering how to swap in my metahuman for the player character, its just giving me each part individually instead on a full character skeletal mesh lol

[gunterstunter]

Did you figure out the meta human control rig?

[DiceDecides]

7:40 my character doesn't even show up here (yes i am logged in)

How to change the distance on which the LOD loads? I want the highest LOD when camera is close and a little bit lower LOD when the camera is far away so the player can t see it anymore. The way it changes the character by default is not satisfying, it loses the detail right in front of a player and i want to hide it by adjusting camera to LOD

[abijath_kv]

why cant i find unreal engine 5 in the versions ?

[greasyweesie]

7;29 how do i get mine in there though

[logan]

Great video! Yes please on the Metahuman control rig video!

[ashleymathew]

Guys how comes I can't open metahuman creator it says some thing about early access and nothing about using the creator please help

[airmanparker]

It seems that Metahuman Ettore that I exported from Bridge to a default 4.36 project does not compile correctly with missing requirements according to the Load Errors message log.

Hey there! You can just drag your metahuman into the sequencer and it will show the body and face rig automatically!

[TheKevphil]

Thank you so much for explaining a very complex subject! A couple questions, Justin: Can you Export as .DUF (DAZ) format? And, are there any "canned" expressions (anger, joy, sleepy) available for these MetaHumans?

[emilybendsspace]

Awe, dang, I was hoping to learn how to use the Metahumans in the game (like swap them in for the default 3rd-person avatar). This video ends right at the point I'd already reached :-/

Thanks for the info, couldn't see how to get from Bridge to scene in UE5, & Kendra shows up pretty well, doesn't go bald @ 200' or whatever ( just took hours to download & set up but thats my connect'n & rig I guess ). Thanks again for the great vid

[Oakbeast]

slow interface seems half baked thanks for making the experience less crappy

[flyingroads]

You just screw my unreal engine by installing quixel program.

[youngpros]

This is useless now because bridge is built into unreal. Look for another video for the updates because this video does not apply to the 5.1.1 update
