Customize MetaHuman Textures | Unreal Engine 5 tutorial
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 07. 2024
- Step by step guide to texture the face of your MetaHuman. Start by exporting out the MetaHuman face textures and preparing the mesh in Blender (or any other 3D software of your choice). Then, paint in your desired look onto the face mesh using Adobe Substance Painter. And, finally bring the updated textures back to Unreal Engine 5.
This is part THREE of the series "Create your MetaHuman". In the upcoming days, we will post the next parts which includes customising Hair, Body Mocap and etc.
Shoutout to @realtimegraphx for his insightful course on customizing Metahumans that inspired us to learn more:

Holy shit! Just the last two days, I've been struggling with how to make my Metahumn texture realistic. All of a sudden, I see it. You guys are just brilliant💛
hahah thanks a lot! Glad it helped you. Show us your work on our discord when you are done.
So happy I found you guys the other day. Your videos are as fun and entertaining as they are practical and informative - the perfect combination. Let us know if you ever take it on the road with live tutorial/ performances!
Hey buuddy! Your comment jus made our day! Thank you :)
That's the goal we wanna experiment and havve fun while sharing the journey with you.
So by live tutorial do you mean livestreaming here? or actual physical meetups and stuff?
Love to see it guys! Much appreciated
Just used this tutorial to give my metahuman some dirt and scratches. Worked like a charm and looks fantastic. Thanks so much for making this!
Really one of the best tutorials I have seen. A lot of information in a short time. Well done and thanks a lot :)
Thank you brother! Well the next one is coming next week :) Customising MetaHuman MESH :) Face and body
Great job guys! Very well explained and easy to follow. 👍😊 really high quality content right there. 🔥
Brotherrrrrrr! Thank you!!!!
This kind of content and your energy are awesome. Just what I needed on this rainy Sunday!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much
Creating the best content out there folks! Those metahuman looks INSANELY good.
Shelf Ma mannnn! Do you ever fail to be here almost immediately after upload????
Just got to say that Part 1 (Create), Part 2 (Animate) and the first part of Part 3 (Customize) of your Metahuman Tutorial Series are in my opinion the Absolutely Best Metahuman Tutorials available anywhere in the world today, simply because I have actually very successfully completed them, now I have worked through a number of other Metahuman Tutorials available and although these are good, they no way cover the breath and width of this subject matter that your tutorials cover, and are massively informative and relatively easy to follow, so thank you very much indeed for producing such Fantastically High Quality and Different Video Tutorials...Now there's always a "BUT" so here goes, you two are also obviously very very skilled at "Substance Painter" it shows in the video, now I know this is not a video about teaching people how to use "Substance Painter" and yes I have used it in the past... BUT why have you just torn through the "substance Painter" part at 100 miles per hour, it is very much a composite part of this whole tutorial, any one who is completely new to "Metahumans" would I believe manage to successfully get through the "Metahuman" part, But I do also believe they would be absolutely "LOST" working their way through the "Substance Painter" part, which is an absolute shame, all that time you have spent creating this near-on Perfect Tutorial, is let down by a small part of it. I myself are very much struggling with this part as well, but I'm not going to give up on these wonderful tutorials, I'm just going to have to get a Grip on "Substance Painter" a bit more.
hey quick question, i just wonder since its a texture paint can we do it using blender wrap painting technique? what's special about Substance painter?
Great tutorial guys, I've been learning a lot from you! Glad you found a way to solve the texture issues!
🍄📽
Glad to hear it! 🙌🫡
You guys are awesome!❤
I love your tutorials thanks a freaking lot for your effort😄
Thanks for watching!
Finally found a use for Substance Painter for my project, thanks guys!!!
I so love you guys.. I was looking for this and now I have find! You are the best😊
Glad you found us and we LOVE U TOO!!!
This is GREAT! I expanded upon this and also edited the metahuman shader to add a "Roughness overlay" Texture and used the Substance roughness mat with a blur mask to bring extra life to the paint. :)
Oh thats a fantastic idea!!! What does your metahuman look like nowwww we are curious!!
Mind showing me in discord?
(We have a community sharing channel)
discord.gg/fUTyYnvceB
Heyyyy Maybe you forgot hahaha but can u share the result of your modification with me? i really wanna see it :D
Наконец-то! Бесплатный туториал в котором тебе не предлагают купить 100 курсов чтобы это сделать. Спасибо ♥
Great explanation and walk through of this process!!!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Great content as always 🤩
Suzanneeeeee we love uuuuu thank uuuu
This channel is underrated. Tutorials are top notch!
Glad you like them! Thank you ❤️
Thats because their intro and persona is like some cancer tiktokers and makes people close the video instantly
Tips & Updates: (Based on our findings and your questions)
1. BODY TEXTURE: If you want to also TEXTURE the BODY simultaneously, you can! We already showed you the UDIM naming system and how the body textures get the suffix .1002 .... all you have to do is export the body as an FBX alongside the face mesh. In blender connect the body to the head mesh using CTRL+J and also perform the NON-MANIFOLD process that we did for the head but this time with the body as well. It should be fairly simple since the body doesnt have the extra color and normal maps. If you have questions let us know
Just got my Rokoko suit and kit. I definitely need this!
Just amazing video 🤩
Thanks a lot
u guys are amazing. tks
You guys are the best ever. Thank you.
Dudeeee WE LOVE U TOO!
love this bro
Thank u so much man
Thank you guys! Very nice tuttorial
Thank you too!
Awesome !!!
great stuff. very cool.
Thank you sirrrrr
I watched 30s of this video and then subscribed with BOTH my channels, just so I don’t miss anything!! 💪🏻💪🏻
Wow!!! Don't make us blush man :D You are absolutely amazing. Thanks for subbing with BOTH channels :D
@@badxstudio thanks guys! Can’t wait to see more! 👍🏻👍🏻
This video gave me really strange vibes until I realized there are actually 2 hosts and not just 1 guy with some AI or practical make up on top. Probably the strangiest 5 minutes of this week. Great video though! Really appreciate it
Killer videos all of them…subscribed ❤ (please make a tutorial on how to capture body movements along with metahuman facial expressions. And is there a way to shoot two characters at a time ? )
Thanks for the sub :) We already have a video for capturing facial movements
czcams.com/video/_1iWOOKgO4E/video.html
Other videos are coming soon :)
That fading away of the painted makeup texture due to 3 layers of albedo and normal map just gave me an idea of how to do a transition from a normal looking face to a scary horror face for jumpscares :)
Oh shittttttt you are right!!! Damnnnn that's a genius idea! hahahaha dude! When are you going to make it?
@@badxstudio I’ve been searching for a way to do this kind of face transition for horror stuff but there are no videos covering it, but I accidentally found it here haha. I’m working on a short horror film and I’m gonna be trying this method out pretty soon! Btw I would appreciate it if you guys could make a tutorial about this since no one else has done it yet :)
You guys are amazing
Thanks a lot buddy
With that quality of content and charisma you should have 100,000 subscribers at least
hahaha this is so MOTIVATING.. well that's the goal, we are gonna be there before end of this year ;)
Damnnnnnnn, very nice
Thank you! Cheers!
I loved this tutorial, cant wait to see what you come up with the hair. Metahuman clothes with Marvelous Designer Plz??
Coming soon!
I'm going to need Faraz's hair to be the basis for the custom hair tutorial.
hahahhahaha... well that should come in when we make the hair customisation tutorial.
Love you guys, the Substance help is awesome
Amazing tutorial! Really hoping you're still planning to drop a body customization tutorial.
Hey bud! Yes of course. We just have had loads of other video ideas but the metahuman customization is still on our list
@@badxstudio always loving everything you guys drop! Keep making great content.
This was excellent. Thank you. I've been struggling to add a metallic material to the metahumans facial skin and was hella confused by the parent face materials event graph.
Do you guys know how to add metallic, roughness map please?
Great work. Subscribed.
Hello. I have the same problem. Maybe you have found solutions?
How can i bake the materials from metahuman creator to UE5?
Og caliber Amun here told u guy's I'm tuning in
Thank you brother
Hey thanks guys for this series I am learning alot .thankyou thankyou. But please upload a little quicker😅
Hahhaha if you only knew how long it takes to create these tutorials :D Trust us when we say we are working 24/7 no sleep to get these out
You guys are amazing.....learnt a lot .....just a request .... if you can quit the F word for subscribe thing ....my 12 years old also watch this😊
First of all thank you so much for your comment and watching our video :)
To be honest, we have gotten this feedback (to quit the F word at the end) a few times before (even our dad asked for it haha). But, we didn't want to change it because it came out naturally and it was just representing our characters.
But, after reading your comment about your 12 years old, we had a quick chat between us and decided to drop it :) I have edited the existing video and removed the F word section ( it will take a few hours to get updated) and we are not gonna say it in the upcoming videos.
Our main goal for our channel is to educate, entertain, and raise awareness. If getting rid of certain aspects helps more people learn, we'd be more than happy to do it.
@@badxstudio Thanks a lot 😁 I really appreciate for you guys being considerate. Keep on rocking
thank you, this is very cool, I would also like to solve this question: how to make a shimmering tattoo like Cortana from Halo 4
Is it possible to use that modified mesh as the MH mesh? My face has some details that Metahuman just cant do, no matter how I try it... e.g. dimple in the cheek and not-asian-eye, bigger and not so well outlined. I tried to use it directly on Unreal, but livelink animation stops to work :(
Also, I´m happy to find you guys, before the 1kk subscribers, I´m sure you ll get there
Yes so whats crazy about MH is that you can do freaking Aliens, Zombies and even one-eyed monsters hahahah Trust me I've seen those metahumans made before and we were like WHAT??? can you even doo that????
So of course that would mean you have to manually sculpt the mesh in blender (NOT AS A TEXTURE AND NORMAL MAP) and then re-connect the bones back in Unreal and do checks with the rig to make sure it works!
So that tutorial is a little more complex than this but we are going to definitely do that for you as well! It will come however after our Egypt project so probably 2-3 weeks from now :)
This tutorial is great! Only issue I'm running into is when I rename my images to bring into Substance, I'm adding .1002 (because I'm working with a body texture) The image is still coming in assigned to 1001. Is there another way to force this operation? Thanks, keep it up!
🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
Hi~thanks for the great tutorial! : ) but I 'm wondering how to play a facial expression test like you did at 2:47?
I tried editing the roughness map but it seems to alter the roughness… also how would you had a metalness map?
I really love the tutorial so much. You guys are damn awesome. But I was searching for the ''save button'' for my future use. Is it possible to provide the ''save button'' for this lesson?
Heyyyy we are soooo damn happy you found us!! Not sure if we control the save button here :D
Can you bookmark the link maybe?
yo guys , nice tut however i'm facing couple of issues , whenever i export the face mesh and import it to SP it seems to have lost all UVs , also am i able to manually wrap my sculpt on the metahuman face mesh using wrap3 or smth for more accurate results ?
Did you figure this out??
So for the UVs make sure you follow TO THE DOT all the things we did prior to bringing it to substance ... they are crucial steps.
And for wrap3 we know of a friend who does that so it shud be possible :)
*Is it possible to somehow apply a displacement map to metahumans? (I haven’t seen any lessons anywhere yet)*
I'm trying to create a demon with metahumans, but I'm having a problem, I followed your tutorial, but some areas I sculpted had errors, I think it was after using the inflate brush, but I'm not sure , when I open fbx in substance painter, some areas of the mesh are without texture, and I can't paint over them, how can i fix this error please?
Would you happen to know how to solve for the way MH hair simulation looks in the MRQ? So much jitter
Hi! I can't afford Subtance, do you know if it's possible to do the same in Mixer ? If yes, do you plan to make a tutorial on it? Thanks !
Hello guys Thanks for your video, But I have a question, where is the Metalness in your eyes makeup into Unreal, I see that you use inside Substance Painter but, I don´t see any more when you export textures, again thank you for your content
Do you guys have an idea on how to make dirt show up on someones face from being kicked up from an explosion in sequencer?
Does anyone know how to 3:14 export, import these MetaHumans to Blender? I've exported them, but they don't have materials as explained in the video.
The latest video of Darth Maul export-import explanation was also too fast and not detailed enough with the MetaHuman to Blender importing process.
I have a meta-human base that I want to make into Coën from the Witcher books, but the problem is, he is a witcher, so he has yellowish eyes with vertical irises, can somehow modify my model to reflect that?
Hello guys how can I found the neck opacity to cut the neck to attach the face to another body
Please Help me i am very excited for this because i download today 5.2 version but how to do I don't know plz explain in Hindi
Hey guys, love your work - new subscriber. Any chance in going into custom Metahuman Clothes? Only thing that's holding me back from using them is finding or creating usable custom clothing - like workwear, coveralls etc.
Hey mate! That's a valid concern. Since clothing is a beast of its own, you could say that if we are going to dive into it we are going to need to make sure its easy to digest while still teaching all important aspects of it. You can say it's definitely part of our plan, but we still have a few other MetaHuman tutorial sections coming before getting to clothing, such as customising the mesh and etc!
hello, i am facing an issue while downloading Metahuman, it is so so so much slow, like just 128 MB in 4 hours. can't download it, tried many times, even i have a fast Wifi connection and i can download other big files too within minutes, but facing the issue with metahuman, pls help if u can
Hey how do I export the meta human into blender and do everything in there without substance painter and back into unreal?
Well you can literally alter the textures in blender too. Just load them up you already have them exported from unreal no?
Amazing tutorial! But for some reason after I have imported the new textures they don't update on the model? My model looks the same :(
FIXED IT: I had the forced LOD set to 1 in the BP.
There is no export option showing in textures. How can i export them? (Note: i'm not exporting metahuman. it's a different paragon character)
is there any way use metahuman in also others version . means i make in 5.0 but can't use in 5.1
Great Video!!!! I am having an issue exporting the normal map from substance painter, for some reason the sculpts that I added in blender show up in substance painter but don't export on the normals map, do you have any idea why this may be? I don't have the option in antialiasing for supersampling 4x4, just 4x 16x and 64x, i have tried on all three and no change.
I have the same issue, would be great to see some information about it.
For anyone with this issue, I have worked out where I was going wrong. I imported the new high poly mesh into substance painter rather than the original. I hope this makes sence.
Did you catch the thing with the dresses? MetaTailor? I'd love to see a video from you on how to attach MetaHuman costumes with MetaTailor. bdw the video is amazing 😊
Hey thanks for the tutorial very helpful. Any time I drop my nex textures for the color Main face instead of seeing the colored texture on the sphere I see the sphere GREEN. Whereas I see that the textures went through. Any idea why guys>
@@badxstudio no both the sphere and the human face are green instead of being let’s say blue as per what I did on substance painter. The green sphere embedded the scratch I did for example on my texture but is green instead of being from the Colors I’ve made on substance
ребята, а есть курс по созданию человека на программе этой?
I 1. BODY TEXTURE: If you want to also TEXTURE the BODY simultaneously, you can! We already showed you the UDIM naming system and how the body textures get the suffix .1002 .... all you have to do is export the body as an FBX alongside the face mesh. In blender connect the body to the head mesh using CTRL+J and also perform the NON-MANIFOLD process that we did for the head but this time with the body as well. It should be fairly simple since the body doesnt have the extra color and normal maps. If you have questions let us know
I wanna work with you guys so much🎉
I seem to recall it being a 2K color texture map
yeah we realized our exported was 2k afterwards ... sorry bout that
Awesome Video! Can you customise the 3d model too and send it back to metahuman creator after that? Is it possible? For exemple, i want to create intense deformations on the arm in zbrush. Can i create my metahuman - Export it to zbrush - sculpt it - and then send it back to metahuman? thanx in advance!
Yes of course you can! Funny you brought it up, we are working on a Metahuman body and face mesh customisation tutorial which should be out within 2 weeks time. We are creating Darth Maul from star wars :D :D :D Stay tuned!
I would like to know if I can create a face, a scenery, or a scene and then sell it as an NFT on a marketplace just like with any digital creation software."
Tutorial to make custom hair please
Superbe what will be amazing to do will be to use photogrammetry not only mesh but also textures to make a metahuman clone
Oh yes that is possible! You can copy the textures from the photoscan to put on the metahuman :))
@@badxstudio I know but i must have misunderstood something or my workflow is wrong somewhere beetween Reality capture , Metahuman creator , Substance painter , Unreal Ungine or everyone of them but i can't figure out how to do it everytime i try ...
@@badxstudio I just found the perfect workflow to do it , i will love to see you both upgrade your Metahuman's clones with it and show us how to replicate this awsome workflow properly czcams.com/video/9Yle2kIhLFI/video.html
👍🏼
hey do you have any tutorial on making like cyborg eyes? GREAT WORK YOU DO GUYS THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE
Yo thats a good idea. So our next two metahuman tutorials are going to be the following:
1. Metahuman Body Animation
2. Metahuman Face Customisation (Modelling & Sculpting)
Thinking of doing a cyborg maybe for the 2nd tutorial there so you can see it :)
@@badxstudio really?OMG you are great
@@badxstudio you are the BEST
@@elenadmpl yeap 😉
Hi there guys, thank you for putting this up! It was excellent, but if I may offer a bit of feedback, sometimes you go through all the inputs and finish them before you start talking about them, so it is a bit hard to catch up. I find myself either following the steps as shown on the screen and having to ignore the walkthrough, or pay attention to the walkthrough and backtrack in the video to the current step. I understand this is for advanced users, but if you can please take a bit more time transitioning between steps?
How do you change the eyes?
How can add different body to metahuman face can you teach us
You’d have to go to the metahuman blueprint and click body and switch it with something else … as long as the body size is the same it should work ❤️
"outstanding" shao kan
Thanks a lot
🤩my favorite channel ever #BadDecisionsStudio
lots of love buddy ❤️
Hey brother, what is your computers specifications?
Or the best spec to render these meta human
I noted you have responded every comment, it would be great if u notice my comment too thanks ❤
Helllooo helllo!!
AMD RYZEN9 5900x
Gigabyte b550 aorus elite ax
Ram 64 DDR4 - 32*2
Nvidia RTX 4090
here is my specs :)
Now as for the specs required you see Unreal Engine is designed to allow the masses to create beautiful giant worlds even with lower spec PC!
Which is why we have Lumen and Nanite technology! But as for metahumans they can get a little heavier due to their complexity but Epic Games always makes sure to improve their performance.
Processor: Six-Core Xeon E5-2643 @ 3.4GHz
Memory: 64 GB RAM
Internal storage: 256 GB SSD
External Storage: 2TB SSD
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER
What you see above is the MINIMUM RECOMMENDED specs to use for unreal engine 5.
If you ask me I would say spend good money on your GRAPHICS CARD!
Make sure to go for 30 series and above as that will always help you with handling your renders!
but generally speaking it'd be hard for us to recommend something to you as we don't know your budget
5:16 that is my logan head model hahaha
How to add opacity to the neck please guys ❤❤
i want you to discover how to make a baby metahuman. you are genius
Baby metahuman just means big head and small body! Youu can change headsize in METAHUMAN CREATOR, for the body tho we need to alter the mesh outside. You can do a young kid because we can just shrink the body in blender or something. But to do a baby metahuman as the armature might be different might not be possible now!
HEYY Can you make tutorial on complex anime clothing please? i have 3d model with complex dress. Please let me know where I can send it, Much Love! - Asking Day 2
For sure, we will put it on our list
sir can you tell us , how to export metahuman in blender without losing quality !!!
My g there are ways you can do that but trust me you kind of dont want to! One because epic only technically allows metahumans to be FINAL RENDERED in unreal. But even if you ignore that, they quite literally design metahumans to work flawlessly wiith LUMEN lighting and unreal renderer. IF you take iit to blender you are just adding more hassle to your work and its not gonna even run smooth due to all the bones animatiing in the face!
Thank you for the reply, make more metahumans tutorials. i love this tutorial ❤️🤖🎬
Plz do the hair part NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
میشه با متا هیومن زامبی ساخت؟
Areeee dadash! Kheyli ham khoob mishe sakht!
What is the point of this video if you don't even show how to put the model back into UE5?
Man they really setup these textures in a inefficient way
its give me only 2k texture quality, help me
You mean as export riight? we miight have gotten that part wrong. The color map for MH are 2k and the normals are hiigher.
So dont worry :)
@@badxstudio ❤️
Nice brother and sister 😂😂😂
Hahahaha damn
Can you take some more time and record tutorials little bit slower and step by step, I’m beginner in ue5 and never used substance painter before, thanks
I want my metahuman to look like my crush 😂😂 please make a tutorial about it 😪😪😪
hahahah... will do it ASAAAPPP
