Metahuman as ThirdPerson - UnrealEngine 5.1

Best short and sweet tutorial everrrrrrr....Thanks a bunch <33333333333

How to fix the character's twitching as in the beginning of the video?

THANK YOU! i tried so many videos and none worked. this short simple video got me past a day hair pulling fest.

@Jobutsu Anim montages don't work anymore, if i give input the montage doesn't play?

Thank you very much. This is the best and simple way to use a metahuman character in a project. 👍

This is the only video that correctly let me use the Metahuman, the other videos made my character's animations look weird.

Danke!

These are THE BEST tutorials on earth.

Very helpful tutorial! I would've never guessed how to do all that myself. Thank you!

this is awesome! just subbed, I do got a question, how would i get the variables from the new meta BP, to the ABP Manny AnimBP, I want to add my own animations from mixamo.

Same instructions work well in 5.2.1 though the skeletal mesh warnings no longer occur and the blueprint nodes do not require changing.

Following along using 5.3 preview and the warnings are gone and one of the retarget options wasn't there. End result is the Metahuman isn't animating when moving.

Thank You!!!!

So do i do all my blueprint stuff in my BP_metahuman one instead of my BP_third person character?

it works for me in 5.2.1 although I was not expecting it....

Does this retarget and utilize IK foot placement as well?

awesome! i love following a tutorial and then it actually works! =D I am wondering, does doing it this way affect the game later with hit boxes etc or does it work fine?

Thanks!

I tried this in Unreal 5.2, and the arm fix here helped a little, but somehow the arm still isn't as relaxed (when idle) as when using Epic Games's own Runtime Animation Retargeting instructions, found in their MH documentation (this essentially involves copying MH meshes over to a new BP and creating a new retargeter, instead of reparenting and adjusting like here). Is there a fix for this? I'm trying to compare this method with Epic's method to see which would work better for my game. (Your method does have the advantage of keeping the livelink and LOD stuff, which Epic's instructions ignore.)

The animations didnt work on me. Can anyone help?

Hi and thank you for your Video. But I need to resize my Metahuman Character to exact the same size like my SK Mannequin for some animations with Static Mesh assets. Here for a sword or an axe in the right hand. How can I do that?

I have but 1 doubt. I'm using the UE5 Skeleton as my player but it's a custom made BP, not the standard ThirdPersonChar. So shall I use that as my parent class in Metahuman? Or shall I copy metahuman contents (body head etc,.) on to my player blueprint?

Thanks for the tutorial, very useful! But I have a problem, don't know if you know the reason. In UE5.2, after successfully replacing the character according to the tutorial, I added nodes such as weapons and PoseAI Live Link to the character. So, the replaced metahuman suddenly became A Pose, and could not synchronize with Mannequin. Since the weapon was still there, the weapon could be seen moving with the animation, but the metahuman lost all animations and became A Pose:(

Thank you so much, easy to understand, everything works to 100%!

forr those missing ui and some animations, you need to add the blueprints to the character, btw dont forget to add all the aninations created bedore with bp 3rd person, like crouch, run. Vault to the new character event graph, otherwise the animations wont work. Is there any easy way to do this ?

I really wish I saw this video a couple months ago when I was going crazy over broken animation.

thank you for every great helpful tutorials, ??? Are you advice to update to 5.2 or we have to wait until that crash to solve??? thank you again.

Hi thank you for the tutorial! I have a problem with the fingers they are all twisted, any ideas how I might fix that? And are there anyways to increase the size of the MH to fit better the other skeleton?
Thanks in advance if anyone answers.

Still works for UE 5.2! Great tutorial !

When adding new stuff do I add it to my meta human or my third person? (Or both?

the best tuto thnx, just a question why you choose quiin for a man ?

the arms are still broken for me, it worked once but is broken this time
edit: restarted unreal, redid the retarget and it works now

the legs don't move

try running in standalone for a couple minutes lmao

thank u!!!

After following this tutorial, the hair was missing. What can I do about that?

Great instructions, finally everything works as it should.

I tried doing this in 5.2, followed instructions to a tee, did this in 5.1 and it worked great, 5 compiler errors in 5.2. i would’ve expected it to not work normally, but it says 5.2 in the title? anyone else running into this?

Your a Saint. Thank you. ❤

Maaaster!!! thank you!!

Thanks for sharing. What if you wanted to use Mixamo animations on Metahumans. Would this require 2 different retargeting steps, or could it be done in 1 step?

thank you very much annaa (brother) woooo i learnt now

Best "FULL" retarget metahuman video

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I followed every tutorial and it really works. From Brazil
