Getting started with MetaHuman Creator

MetaHuman Creator simplifies the process of creating digital humans by offering a web-based, user-friendly interface and intuitive controls. You can easily manipulate and refine characters in real time, adjusting facial expressions, hair, and other features with just a few clicks. The tool also provides an efficient means of importing the created characters into Unreal Engine for further development, animation, and integration into virtual environments.

Let’s learn how to access MHC:

1. Open the A_New_Beginning project.
2. Then click the Place Actor + icon and choose Quixel Bridge.
3. Once the Quixel BRIDGE panel opens, dock it to have a larger view of the window.
4. Next, sign in using your Epic ID (1). Once signed in, click on the MetaHumans tab (2). You’ll now see a list of characters. These are the MetaHuman presets.
