What is a MetaHuman?Ī MetaHuman is a high-quality digital character that is created in the Unreal Engine online application MetaHuman Creator. The project will not look as intended, but you can still explore how the content is set up. With Chaos now the default physics engine in UE5, MetaHumans ship with active ragdoll physics-they’ll target believable poses and even try to protect their heads when tumbling! We’ve also added a new level to the MetaHuman Sample project that demonstrates how to use the new physics assets and ‘get up’ animations with your Unreal Engine project.While it is possible to open and run this project without the recommended hardware specifications above, the lighting and features of the project are designed with these in mind. A common use case is to adjust a character additively while maintaining the existing animation, such as having your MetaHuman always look at a particular target while walking along. With a few mouse clicks, you could easily replace the mannequins in the Lyra Starter Game with your MetaHumans, for example.Īnother new feature, IK Rig, enables you to interactively create solvers and goals that perform pose editing for your skeletal meshes. MetaHumans are now compatible with both UE4 and UE5 mannequins, opening up access to thousands of existing animations on Unreal Engine Marketplace. Using IK Retargeter, you can quickly, easily, and robustly transfer animations between all MetaHumans and other characters, even if they have different body proportions. Since MetaHumans come complete with IK rigs, it’s something they can take full advantage of.
UE5 also offers an entirely new artist-friendly toolset for retargeting animations.
