Introduction Beginner

MetaHuman is Epic Games' framework for creating and animating photorealistic digital humans in Unreal Engine. With MetaHuman, you can produce film-quality characters in minutes rather than months, opening up possibilities in games, virtual production, enterprise training, and interactive experiences.

What is MetaHuman?

MetaHuman is a cloud-based character creation tool combined with an Unreal Engine runtime framework. It provides a complete pipeline: sculpt a face in the browser-based MetaHuman Creator, download the character into Unreal Engine via Quixel Bridge, and animate it using Blueprints, sequencer, or real-time performance capture with Live Link.

Hardware Requirements

Use Cases

• Film & Virtual Production: Digital doubles, virtual actors, previs
• Games: Hero characters, cinematics, next-gen NPCs
• Enterprise: Virtual presenters, training simulations, digital twins
• Healthcare: Patient education, surgical planning visualization
