Excellent Tutorial. I like your delivery. Straight to the point, no joking around. Clear step by step instructions. Thank you! This is just what I needed. I subscribed!
Do we need to connect the post process animBlueprint or something to the cloth skeletal mesh? By default it doesn't seem to use those extra twist joints and the extra joints on the knees and such causing the body to intersect with the clothing during deformation.
I have the same problem, in my case lower arm twist bones are not working properly when I import in Unreal, actually none of the extra joints are not working in Unreal, but they are working fine in Maya. Did you find a solution for this? Thanks.
@@epic-quest-talesdid you export with the maya game exporter? That was my issue. When I just exported with the regular export selection that fixed it. Oh if it doesn’t work for the body then you might have forgotten to connect the post process animbp to the skeletal mesh
Yes exactly, I wrote it in the section before as SOLVED, I actually did not know about the post process anim bp, that they exist at all, I found out from your comment, that was my issue. I use normal fbx export (autodesk preset).@@tamtamX-cq8or
thank you for visiting my channel there's another tutorial for advanced cloth rigging I will be glad if you watch that one as well. the link is in the description
Hi, great workflow! Wanted to ask if doing high heel boots using this method, what changes would you make. Do you pose the combined mesh foot to fit the boots, then bind skin and copy weights? Thanks for your super helpful content
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. Question: when I export the fbx is necessary to use the "autodesk media and entertainment" preset or can I use "send to unreal" option ?
Hi, I have another problem with my metahuman. When I export the model with Autodesk FBX preset as shown in the tutorial, in Unreal I do not get the skeleton constraints to work properly, the main problem in my case are lower arm twist constraints. I tried to include constraints in export but that does not work either. Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks.
SOLVED: For anyone else having this problem, you need to add the post process animation blueprint of the metahuman (e.g. m_med_nrw_animbp) that is provided when you import metahumans, when you import the skeleton as shown in the tutorial, open skeletal mesh window and in the Asset details tab, scroll down to Skeletal mesh part, there you have to add the post process anim bp.
I succeeded with this and proceeded to attach the eyebrows to the face using the same method, but the face failed to merge with the bones. Even though I got the hierarchy correct in Maya. Thank you so much for telling me why this is so.
Hello, I am trying to follow your tutorial but with Unreal Engine 5, I could not manage to export it through the Bridge plugin, it says that is is meant for Metahuman UE4 preset and not with UE5, how can find a workaround for this problem, as the bridge in Unreal Engine 5 that is integrated does not have the Maya plugin (as far as I could notice). (( My workaround that doesn't work)) - I tried to simply export FBX file from Unreal, but when importing the skinned mesh it gives the error that if failed to merge the bones and the T pose is missing. Thanks in advance.
@@Metarig Thank You a lot for your very fast reply, I figured out my primary mistake, uasset and source asset are not the same thing, uasset is problematic, I needed the source asset to transfer to maya.
Hello. I keep getting an error if the weight values in Maya and Unreal do not match. (Cannot be attached) The default value of clothes is for T-pose, can you solve it?
Hi how are you ? I am your biggest follower on TH-cam. But I have a question?? When I make a character on methuman and export it to the maya it comes without head hair ,mustach ,beard ,but texture is there , plz help me
@@msafaacademy8167 metahuman for mays is only a representation of metahuman in unreal so you animate it and send animation to unreal and there you have your full character so you don't need hair in maya anyway or you don't need proper shader etc you are not supposed to render it
Thank you for the good tutorial. :) I followed your tutorial, and there was a problem in the process of importing from Maya UE4. The phrase "failure to merge" keeps popping up. How can I solve it?
I'm continuing to get the failed to merge bones error when importing and applying the skeleton , I was wondering if anyone knew the issue or ran into the same one
2 years. Two fucking years I've been looking for that one solid mesh that gives all the information about a character's skin. Thanks, man.
There are few people in the world who simply and effectively introduce such a process, thank you very much for sharing, wish you a happy day!

Nevermind looks like the maya game exporter is not a good choice for export.

你好!来自中国粉丝的问候!多谢楼主无私的奉献.
wow, just wow man. I'm a maya noob and you made this so easy. keep up the good work
Thank you very much brother for the tutorial, your contribution is really great, gracias amigo. bless u
thank you for your interest I'm glad that it was useful for you
This is exactly what I’ve been doing too - well done for making a tutorial on it! I’ve started making one but it takes so long to make 😂

JSFILMZ video brought me to this channel, excellent content, just what I needed to level up my metahuman game
thank you for visiting my channel I'm glad that the content was helpful to you
Thanks A lot, This is all I needed :)
you are very welcome
Thankyou for the simple tutorial. I have a question though, what if the body mesh is poking out of the cloth mesh? Any way I could address that?
Usually you need to delete the hidden parts but you can also do it inside unreal through masking by material
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. Question: when I export the fbx is necessary to use the "autodesk media and entertainment" preset or can I use "send to unreal" option ?
both work

Heads do not have bundles that can be selected at once like Body_Joints.

You have to download maya file from stand alone bridge and download the unreal one from integrated bridge

Great! How to import a nacked metahuman into Unreal? Or remove original clothes?
you need to have your metahuman naked
Hello. I keep getting an error if the weight values in Maya and Unreal do not match. (Cannot be attached)
The default value of clothes is for T-pose, can you solve it?
first you have to pose the meta character to be matched to your cloth or vice versa
Hi
how are you ?
I am your biggest follower on TH-cam. But I have a question?? When I make a character on methuman and export it to the maya it comes without head hair ,mustach ,beard ,but texture is there , plz help me
the metahuman for Maya has not hair. you also need to open the full rig file
@@Metarig sorry i didn"t get you .. so what best solution for my problem ?? i should make hair and mustach in maya by xgen for example ??

@@Metarig ok and thanks for your help
What is your system configuration
1080 ti amd 9500x
thanks
you are welcome
Thank you for the good tutorial. :)
I followed your tutorial, and there was a problem in the process of importing from Maya UE4.
The phrase "failure to merge" keeps popping up. How can I solve it?
Plz help😂
Hi for skinning use the set that names body joints
I'm continuing to get the failed to merge bones error when importing and applying the skeleton , I was wondering if anyone knew the issue or ran into the same one
this is because you skinned the character to the wrong skeleton you should only skin them to the joint set in the outliner
