Confidently create and export a high-fidelity digital human with a standardized project structure.

MODULE 02

Game-Ready Optimization & LODs

Move beyond the "cinematic-only" mindset. Master Level of Detail (LOD) management, texture downsizing, and hair/groom optimization specifically for real-time game performance.

Master the workflow for down-sampling 8K assets into performant, 60+ FPS game-ready characters.

MODULE 03

Break out of the "standard" MetaHuman look. Learn custom clothing workflows, external mesh integration (Marvelous Designer/ZBrush), and professional material layering for skin and fabric.

Give your character a unique, AAA-quality custom aesthetic that stands out from default presets.

MODULE 04

Bring your digital humans to life. Master the MetaHuman Control Rig, facial performance capture (Live Link Face), and the integration of high-end motion capture data.

Transition from a static bust to a fully emotive, animated character with professional-grade performance.

MODULE 05

Master the "Push to Build" process for characters. Learn to balance visual fidelity with frame-rate optimization using the Unreal Insights tool and custom C++ or Blueprint logic.
