  3. How to customize MetaHuman eyes
  4. How to customize MetaHuman teeth
  5. How to attach items to MetaHumans in the Blueprint e.g. lightsaber, horns, hats, glasses, etc.
  6. How to import hair/groom assets to MetaHuman

Bad Decisions Studio is good not only at tutorials. Our readers definitely remember its curious experiment where it turned popular movies like The Shining, Harry Potter, The Dark Knight, Prince of Persia, and The Matrix into 3D scenes using Gaussian Splatting and Unreal Engine 5.
