After the test was completed, it was found that there was a problem with the character’s hand animation. The solution was found because the bone tree of metahuman had one more joint on the finger than the bone tree of ue Xiaobai. can successfully solve the problem

Afterwards, the same as the previous test animation, import the characters into the prepared map, add accessories to the character blueprint, add slots to the bones and bind the parent and child sets, use the fk that comes with meta human to bind the k animation, adjust, add the camera, and set Level Sequence, export animation
In addition, if the scene map is too large, elements in the scene can be merged to
make loading and rendering faster

Make props, textures, import ue, and add characters to the blueprint

First of all, I tried to directly import the complete fbx model into ue, and found that the material was lost, and it was a white model. The solution is to import the relevant texture maps of the model into ue separately, create new materials in ue, and connect them as shown in the picture. Finally succeeded.

Add props to the character, the idea is to add the props to the character blueprint, select the appropriate bones, and bind the props and bones into a parent-child set

For the exercises of movements and expressions, metahuman was chosen, and metahuman was
added to the scene. Because only movements are used, the scene construction is as simple as
possible, only planes and lights are built.
Add a level sequence, add a camera, and start animating. Use the ikbinding that comes with
meta human to make the action, and the performance is a thank you action.
Then add the character’s expression, use the actions that come with metahuman for reference,
import the level sequence and change it with the face controller

Animating MetaHumans with Control Rig in UE

Create an animation representing a gesture of gratitude. I chose to use Metahuman for the production.

First, import the Metahuman into the Unreal Engine (UE) scene. In the blank scene, I only set up a simple plane, a large light source, and two small light sources to illuminate the character.

I refer to the tutorial on metahuman animation production on the virtual engine official website
