The most fundamental reason is the resource compatibility between multiple characters created with MetaHuman. When both the body and face are rigged to MetaHuman topology, all textures, UVs, vertex counts, IDs, etc., are matched. This makes it extremely easy for future modifications, enhancements, or texturing using blend shapes, and it becomes very convenient to use various services that support MetaHuman.

As an artist, aligning clothing creation or models based on the base topology is one of the most basic and important settings for a character and serves as a foundation for all future workflows. Bringing your character fully into the MetaHuman topology is what we aim to achieve through this service.

This is included as part of our basic service offering. We will apply rigging to the origin mesh provided by the user at no additional cost.

Any format is acceptable as long as it is not extremely low-polygon or unaligned raw scan data files, we will rework it according to the metahuman topology.
If users also need the original body mesh topology, we will provide it along with skinning applied in the same way as the original mesh.

Also, even if the character polygon is low, you can receive it in a higher quality high polygon for your character.
However, if the polygon is too low (less than 500 poly count), the job may be rejected.

All additional meshes that go into the face, such as eyeball, eyelash, teeth, saliva, eye edge, etc., will be re-created to suit for your character. If you have that meshes, please upload it as well.

However, the topology of all meshes in the files we provide is based on metahumans. In other words, even if a user provides us with their character’s eyeball, we will try to keep the shape of the origin eyeball and convert it into a metahuman topology.

Yes, of course we will create all metahuman LODs based on the character you uploaded and deliver them to you as well.
Providing LODs is also one of the important reasons for converting to MetaHuman topology. LODs are crucial for optimization within the engine, so including all LODs is also covered within our service price.

After the project is completed, you will receive a Maya character rigged file (maya 2022 or later), an Unreal project, and an fbx file.

After the project is completed and the completed file is uploaded to the user’s profile library, the administrator deletes the character file that the user initially uploaded.

The service we currently provide is the Humanoid Bipad Rigging service.
Even if it is not human-shaped, it is possible to rig it if it is a biped and has two hands, five fingers, two eyes, and one mouth.
However, just in case, our team first check the user’s mesh data before work progress.

Our original plan didn’t include this, but we’ve added the option to purchase secondary rigging services for character accessories and cloth-related items starting from April 2024.
But, we are not involved in any parts except your character rigging. For example, this might be materials, textures.

Furthermore, we can provide support for the Maya rigging body controllers we use based on user preferences. By default, we’ll deliver the rig without the body controller, similar to what’s obtained from Quixel Bridge’s MetaHumans. There are many ways for users to attach the rigging controller directly. Check out the template we provided first.
