how to fix metahuman hair disappearing in Unreal Engine 5

still useful in Dec 2023! :D Thanks a lot!

Hey! What about when hair like beard , is not staying in place and following the face when animation is playing ? binding asset dosent work, it wont apply.

Legend, thx!

It's works, thanks mate!

I was experiencing an issue that when resurecting my metahuman after death, his body and head disappeared (and no, its not zombie game).
These changes fixed it, so thanks a lot!

thanks

ce tem um cara massa é voce meu chegado

this happens in 5.2 too, include fixes it but they are still disappearing at a bit longer distance :( this drives me crazy

Stupid engine. 5.2 with missing hair. Releasing crap to public.

Thanks man it worked for me !

I did everything you mentioned here and nothing was changing, so I saved everything first, then Restarted and it works now :)

doesnt work in 5.1

it helped And I love you

The eyebrows disappeared 🤦‍♂

Thank you JS! Allways intresting to whatc your videos.

Well i have UNREAL 5.1.0 but i had this issue, i've done your tutorial and it kind of work but when i move the character the hair are disapearing from time to time. Maybe it is because i'm using brenda and it still under devellopment

thanks for this video, very helpful

life saver frfr

thanks guy, btw the bug is back on 5.0.3....

This fixed a different issue I was having with glowing hair at a distance, when no other fix I found was working. Thanks.

How to use dynamic LOD? I want to change distance of camera when the highest LOD goes in. For example i want high detail when player got camera close to character and low detail when the camera is far enough to not notice the diffrence

thanks you!!

5.0.3 ... So when i use a whole metahuman, the LOD Sync works for me and set it to 1 (i think) solved the problem - no matter how far...
But... usually i only use the head on custom body, and in this case the LOD Sync doesn't work anymore, force LOD doesn't work, and when i delete every "missing" LOD, the map won't open again and got instant crashes.

Any advise to get the groom fixed for heads only?

This works except when it creates the new BP character in the sequencer, the sequencer version of the character doesnt have hair? For some reason, it wont save any of the LOD settings when I try to change them on the BP character inside sequencer. Just don't get it.

Now if only someone could find a way to fix real time reflections for hair (Metahuman's reflection in the mirror). It's been driving me crazy for 3 weeks now on ue4 and ue5. It will show up under certain constraints, but will either disappear if you're 3 meters away from a reflective surface, or when you're too close.

Did you also find a fix for the MassCrowd in the city sample? I'm the one losing my hair over it hahah.. Since the metahumans are generated, it doesn't fix all the clothes and hair disappearing when the camera is far when I change the LOD sync to 1 in the BP_CrowdCharacter

allright it works! thanks

Sadly didn't work for me. The hair of my Metahuman is only not visible to the camera. The goal of my project is just to export cinematic still shots. But whenever I render a still image the Metahuman is rendered bald. In the viewport I can see the hair. But in the camera view window, when I select the camera, the hair is gone too. And as I said, in the render it's gone too.

Have any idea what the problem might be?

I use UE 5.0.2

My hair still disappearing with 5.0.2. The include fixed but doesn't fix for viewport.

The hair of my metahuman continue disappearing on ue 5.0.1 production version. But the hair disappeare only when my character crouching and i move camera in certain position.

Unfortunately there is still a bug, thanks for making this video.

It worked, thanks...

Looks Like it does not Works for my. UE5.0.2
Top part of my woman model hair is still fading out.

Yeah well it says in the " metahuman creator " itself ,
Before you export that its only " lod 0 - 1 " so no hair cards at distance ..
— Just set it to desired lod and done !

Nice😊 but can You mod pedestrians to force LOD 0 or 1 for very close shots?(in City Sample) Is this feasible? 🤔

In the game ILL the monsters mutate… any chance we can get a tutorial on how that’s done. I’ve been searching everywhere and I’ve got nothing!

I'm having an issue where pretty much all my beard is just flashing black light around my metahumans face and hair is low quality on head. Anyone know how to fix or what's going on? I have alot of emissive light going on could it be from that? Character looks okay in blueprint viewport but not in editor.

What do you use for face mocap in unreal instead the iphone?

Hi! Just one question! Do your live link face works after the last iOS update? My is not working with head movements 😱

Unrelated, but any chance you would know how to record the background traffic/crowd from the city sample into sequencer? Want to animate a cinematic but take recorder has been a pain with this... the 4 minute 54 second mark of the State of Unreal Video when they are describing the Matrix Cinematic is what I am trying to do! Many thanks and love the videos!!

woo looks like you made it into an official Nvidia video thumbnail today 😮 what a celebrity

im going to jail i killed any unreal engine users him said fortnite is trash
thanks to fortnite team for all this cool stuff in unreal

Thank you very much!

Someone asked me if I know where he could find some hair. I said "Sorry, not off the top of my head."

If I'll add a metahuman to an UE5 level, my computer will disappear :(

I experienced this issue for a while and it was driving me crazy. What I deduced was happening was when using animations where the character moved far from its root, such as character mocap for a whole scene, the hair would start to get glitch and disappear at certain spots in the animation, or depending on how I was looking at the metahuman through the viewport. The way I figured out how to fix this was to simply delete and re add the groom in the blueprint under the hierarchy.
