Both MetaHuman Creator and MetaHuman Animator are available in UEFN starting today.
During its State of Unreal presentation at GDC 2024, Epic Games officially announced that the MetaHuman toolset, including both MetaHuman Creator and MetaHuman Animator, have been integrated into Unreal Editor for Fortnite, allowing UEFN creators to set up photorealistic digital humans as NPCs for their projects.

As per the team's statement, the software was fine-tuned to prioritize quality and efficiency, leading to a substantial decrease in the average size of a MetaHuman from almost 1GB in Unreal Engine 5 to just 60MB in UEFN.
Furthermore, by leveraging the software's latest Character Device, it's now possible to apply MH Animator's data to Fortnite characters. Additionally, thanks to the introduction of the new LiveLink Hub application, users can now directly transmit mocap data to UEFN.
