MetaHuman
MetaHuman is Epic Games' photoreal digital-human framework, runnable in real time inside Unreal Engine 5.
MetaHuman is Epic Games' system for photoreal digital humans. The MetaHuman Creator and MetaHuman for Unreal Engine plugin let teams generate, customise and animate human characters with cinema-grade fidelity inside UE5. EquipVerse productionises MetaHumans for clients — sculpting custom likenesses, swapping in real Xgen hair grooms, adding ARKit + jaw + tongue rigs, and exporting to Maya, Blender, Houdini and USD pipelines.
