FOR THOSE USING 5.1 - If you open up the skeletal mesh, click on skeleton (top right (Blue icon)) then on the left there is Retarget Sources, add the metahuman body in the top one, and in the bottom the SK_mannequin you can restart without the crashes

Honestly I'm really shocked how hard it is to replace basically an already existing structure - the mannequin - with an system-own character from meta humans which should have logically the same structure. I hope there will be time saving and developer friendlier solutions in the future. At least - thanks for doing that video. It would be almost impossible to find that out!!

First tutorial that has made sense. Only the second day of my journey lol. Got tired of replaying AC, Arkham, and other predator/stealth rpg's, so I thought I would make one. Definitely going to subscribe and binge your content!

You get straight to the point, no BS and it works!
