How long does a MetaHuman take?
A clear, tier-by-tier answer to the question every producer asks first: how long until I can shoot with this character?
Tier-by-tier turnaround
MetaHuman Lite: 5–7 business days. MetaHuman Standard: 7–10 business days. MetaHuman Pro: 14–18 business days. MetaHuman Cinema: 21–28 business days. MetaHuman Studio: 30 days dedicated engagement.
Vertical bundles align with the closest tier — Brand Ambassador and Virtual Influencer track Standard/Pro; Film Digital Double and Virtual Idol track Pro/Cinema; Studio is its own engagement.
What drives the time
Likeness sculpt + revision rounds: 3–7 days. Hair grooming: 2–4 days (Xgen) or 1 day (preset). Wardrobe with cloth sim: 2–3 days per outfit. Rig setup with ARKit: 1–2 days. Mocap retarget: 1 day per clip. Cinematic shot: 3–5 days. Pipeline package and final QA: 2 days.
Rush options
Standard tier supports +25 % rush surcharge for 50 % faster turnaround, +50 % for same-week. Cinema and Studio do not rush — quality at that tier requires the full pipeline cycle. We'll never quote a rush we can't hit at quality.
