Create Fully Customized Character for Unreal Engine 5

Modules available:
Course 1: Fully Customized Metahuman
Course 2: Custom Metahuman Clothing

Course is up to date. Last Major update received July 2023. Course is compatible with all UE5 versions.

This is a two-part complete custom character creation course for Unreal Engine. After this course, you will have a fully customized Metahuman that works with things like IK Rig and Live Link plugin.

While it's recommended to have prior knowledge of Unreal Engine 5, Blender, Substance Painter and Marvelous Designer, I will walk you through basic steps to get you started.

As I'm using this workflow for my day-to-day Metahuman creation process, this course will always be up to date and adjusted with any new Metahuman changes in the future.

Course 1: Fully Customized Metahuman
In this part of the course, you will learn how to create 3D Face scan using photo geometry. You will learn the full metahuman customization process - starting from creating base mesh using Metahuman Creator through sculpting unique details using Blender and baking and painting textures using Substance Painter. You will learn how to set up textures and modify materials inside Unreal Engine 5. We will end this portion by learning how you can create your own custom grooming assets using Blender particle system.

Course 2: Custom Metahuman Clothing

In this part of the course, you will learn everything you need to know about the clothing creation process. You will learn how to modify existing metahuman assets to fit your character, and also how to design your own clothes using Marvelous Designer. We will go through the texturing process, and we will make our clothes animation ready by doing retopology, rigging and skinning our clothing meshes.
