HINT FOR UNREAL ENGINE BEGINNERS You should be aware that our showcase maps in general can be used as a beginner. Though, if you want to extend or customize the Blueprint logic, we recommend advanced Unreal Engine knowledge. We always do our best to support our customers as comprehensively as possible, but please, understand that we cannot help with learning all engine basics.

Muscularity/weight options are in dev for the Meta/UE5 skeleton. We plan to release an alternative/updated version without the need to create Moprhtargets outside of Unreal. More Info will come once the system is fleshed out and rdy for production.


*** Metahuman Update December 2021 ***

Added additional anatomy support for Metahumans - basecostumes have been converted to Metahuman tal nrw.

Editor logic is not compatible with Metahuman BP base structure like weight, UI Sliders for Eye variation etc - we are looking into streamline our Ue4 Mannequin with a full release of Ue5. Base product is Ue4 Epic skeleton structure.

Keep in mind the core of this product is developed with the UE4 Mannequin base in mind.

Children are not part of the UE5 Skeleton update.



These clothing assets are exemplary and there might be in some cases small intersection.

That's not "uncommon" in games.
