UEFN and Metahumans!

Imported facial and body animation on a custom metahuman skeletal mesh.
I'm always amazed by what you can do with #unrealengine!
This weekend I spent a little time messing around with #UEFN, I was curious about the pipeline for migrating assets from #UE5 into #Fortnite. I was especially curious to see if it was possible to bring in #Metahumans.
Unfortunately the Fortnite editor doesn't currently support morphs for skeletal meshes, so I tried parenting the source face rig to the body in Maya and then baking animation controls to the joints and was pleasantly surprised to see how easy it was!
Really opened my eyes to the possibilities for bringing in high quality facial and body animation into Fortnite Creative!
AND... I also had to see if I could bring over my virtual home, which at this point has become my metaverse-teapot. :)

If you pause the video at the beginning you can see the skeleton hierarchy. It requires unbinding meshes, combining head and body skeletons under same root, reskinning to new skeleton (copy skin weight back).
