Export metahuman groom assets to blender for editing and export back to the engine
Рет қаралды 5,425
11 ай бұрынThis is a tutorial on exporting metahuman groom assets to blender for editing and back to the engine.
The method of using plugins is to left-click on the Groom asset and then click on the plugin icon. The relevant assets will automatically appear in the Saved folder.
The general steps of the video tutorial are:
1. First, export the groom file as an abc file for the curve
2. Import abc files into blender and convert curve into curves for secondary editing
3. Convert curves to a particle and export the modified fur as an abc file
4. Import the modified fur into the indexing engine as a groom file and create a binding to display the final results of the modified fur
Download address for exported file samples in the video:
BaiduYun link:

Extract code:qus2
Or use google drive:

If you have similar secondary modification requirements in the project, you can first check if the sample meets your requirements. If the sample format meets your project scenario, you can consider purchasing plugins.
Note:The Plugin is compiled on Windows systems and are not suitable for Ue engines on Linux or Mac systems
Note: The abc file generated by the plugin cannot be directly imported into Maya. After converting to a particle system in Blender, the abc file can be exported to Maya.
If you are an artist, you can consider purchasing a compiled version of the plugin.

You're absolute geinus. I noticed the timing difference, between the grooms exported from UE and exporting from blender (after tweaking), was 15 mins which is insane, that means you have done beautiful editing and all of other stuff in just fifteen minutes in real time. A lot of pro youtubers edit videos and cut the extra ling footages. Really impressed brother. Please More Videos...❤

Hi! What’s the difference between 5.2 source code and 5.3 compiled? If I use UE 5.3, can I buy only the compiled version?

Yes. if you use ue5.3. you can buy only the ue5.3 compiled version. source code version contains sourc code. you can copilee source code on different engine version.compiled version contains only binary file. they have same features

Freak'in awesome! Finally a way to edit and customise these MH grooms:) Is there a way to export the groom that is bound to a modfied headmesh? For example: I have modified the original headmesh and generated a new binding for the original hair. Can I export the hair with that specific binding?
@vectorwang9632 5 ай бұрын
If I understand your meaning correctly, it should not be possible. Do you mean to make the hair automatically change with the modified head mesh? This is not a feature of the Groom2abc plugin, it is a feature in the metahuman creator
@vectorwang9632 5 ай бұрын
I guess the feature you need is that the exported hair abc file can be automatically adapted to your modified head.I don't have any good ideas in this regard yet. But I believe there should be a solution.

I bought this plugin (for version 5.3). It doesn't work. Is this a plugin only for IOS? Error message: "Plugin 'GroomExporter' failed to load because module'GroomExporter' could not be loaded. There may be an operating system error or the module may not be properly set up." Can you help me?

The GroomExporte plugin is only for windows, what operating system are you using? if windows, please check if your *.uproject was edit correctly. Modify uproject file like link hotimg.com/musEa

when you import the head, you should delete eye releated vertices and just keep face. step into edit mode, select a vertice and press "L", the "Ctrl + i" invert select, and delete. then set the surface and UV Map, and now enter scult mode to add groom
