Skin Gen Metahuman Exports do not work on Migrated UE 5.6 Metahumans
I started a brand new project to test this and it still doesnt work. You bring in the Metahuman head file with the textures exported from CC4 like normal, no problem there.

You migrate the Metahuman from Quixel and then Assemble it. Then you hit "Apple Textures" like always, and it does absolutely nothing.

A real shame because Skin Gen is still a competitive tool even with the Epic Skin texture drop back in June.

Hi AlexusesUnreal

I understand what you mean.

You can try watching this video. It’s a tutorial from another user showing how to convert a CC4 character into a Metahuman in Unreal 5.6.

This method should help you achieve the result you're looking for.

Another approach is to import an existing Metahuman into your project using Unreal’s built-in Metahuman Import, and then apply your exported CC hand textures to the Metahuman using Apply CC Texture.

If you encounter any other issues, please feel free to contact us anytime.

Thanks Kayla.

Sure before I do that though could you send a video of the process you guys are getting it to work with, it seems there is no updated tutorial online? This is the last one I could find:

The steps to do Mesh to Metahuman have changed with 5.6, so this may be the wrong way to do it.

Hi AlexusesUnreal

We would like to confirm whether any messages popped up after you applied the texture to the Metahuman.

We tried to reproduce the issue you mentioned, but we were unable to. We will need your assistance.

Could you please record a short video of your workflow and also provide the files you are using?

You can attach the files in your next message. If you don’t want others to see them, you can set the message as private.

Once we receive the files, we will investigate the issue you encountered as soon as possible.
