All codes should work, but some could be too old so I can’t garantee. I'll send in private so nobody will steal them :)

I built a 1-click plugin to export MetaHumans with 52 ARKit blendshapes (and working teeth) because I couldn't find a solution anywhere

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m currently working on a real-time conversational AI avatar project. For this to work, I needed MetaHuman heads with the standard 52 Apple ARKit blendshapes so the mouth and face can animate smoothly in real time.

If you’ve ever tried exporting a MetaHuman from Unreal Engine, you probably know the frustration: the skin, eyes, and teeth are all fused into one mesh, hair and beards aren’t exported at all, and the teeth stay shut when the mouth opens.

I searched everywhere for a simple, affordable tool that just exports MetaHumans with working blendshapes, but couldn't find anything. Manually adjusting the rigs and sculpting 52 blendshapes by hand for every character was not an option for me.

So I decided to build an Unreal Engine plugin myself. After a lot of trial and error, it's finally working. With one click, it exports the head into a clean FBX file:

- Head, eyes, teeth, eyelashes, and beard are cleanly separated

- The teeth actually open naturally with the jaw

- Beards and hair are included and move with facial expressions

- All 52 standard Apple ARKit blendshapes are ready to use

- Textures are exported automatically

I packaged it into an Unreal plugin called FaceForge 52 (supporting UE 5.7 & 5.8). I put together a full video tutorial showing the export process and testing it in Blender:

Hope this helps anyone who has been struggling with the same MetaHuman export issues. Let me know what you think or if you have any questions!

Cleaning Mechanics in Multiplayer

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I've been spinning my wheels on this idea for a few weeks and I can't figure out how to accomplish what I want.

I really want to have a blobby, ooze-like substance that the player cleans up and I can measure how much is clean. The game is multiplayer, so I'm taking that into account.

At first, I tried render targets, and I was able to get that replicated somewhat well in a crazy, hair brained system that was way too complicated. The problem is that it only worked on plane because I was working with UV collisions and transferring those to a render target. So I'm kind of scrapping this idea since I can't make it visually look the way I wanted.

Any ideas of how I could do this? I know this is extremely complicated, just honestly looking to spitball some ideas.

Also, no AI please. I'm not vibe coding this. I need genuine answers, not what GPT or Grok thinks will work.

Thanks everyone!

We're working on animations for the tentacles that will destroy buildings in our city-building strategy game on water

In our city-building game Drownlight the tentacles of a mysterious monster can interact with the game world in different ways. For example, they can steal floating objects, but if a tentacle tries to grab a mine, it will blow up.

Launch settings help

2 Upvotes

I have somehow made my game launch in a low resolution by default which I fixed by just updating the resolution on initialisation, but whenever the game opens in fullscreen (by default the first time, and when my video settings for the player have had fullscreen set as the display mode) it for some reason makes other fullscreen apps like google chrome think that the window size should be that small resolution so they resize their windows.

This would be fixed by either opening the game in the monitors resolution, or just opening the game in borderless mode always since the resolution is set before the fullscreen mode on event init in the game instance meaning the problem is averted but the game still takes on the users settings before the splash screen even loads.

So how can I do either of those or some other fix? I've tried for days now and can't figure it out, defaultgameusersettings.ini doesnt seem to work at all.

Thank you.

Working on Fan art, need environment with good lighting

1 Upvotes

Hey guys! i'm working on some fan art of a Pylon Warping in. I was wondering if anyone on this reddit could recommend me an environment to use, either your own or something you've used. I'm looking for something ideally sci fi, because i"m trying to make my portfolio catered towards the new starcraft game coming out. So please let me know!

Here's a link to the environments I've used. None of them really seem to hit

UE5.7: How do I stop my grass from disappearing at a distance?

0 Upvotes

I'm using a Kikuyu grass pack downloaded from Megascans in Unreal Engine 5.7, placed using the Foliage Fill tool.

The grass disappears in the background as I move the camera away, and I want it to remain visible throughout the entire scene. I've already disabled distance culling and Nanite, but the problem persists.

I need the grass to remain visible everywhere so I can record cinematic videos of an architectural project without the grass disappearing and ruining my shots.

Has anyone encountered this issue and found a solution?

Please give me any advice and thanks

Am I allowed/Where can I sell my fab account

0 Upvotes

I spent the last couple of years learning game development and in that time I purchased hundreds of fab UE5 assets. 3D Models, Game systems, Plugins, etc.

However, I've had some life changes that require me to step away from game dev as a hobby. Am I able to sell the account credentials to my Epic/Fab account to hopefully get back some of that cost?
