I tried MetaHumans in unreal with Octane Plugin and I can't view hair in the Octane viewer, and the character face is unshaded (grey). Anyone managed to find a fix?

Hey Chris, did you find a solution for MetaHumans?)

If you read the user agreements and even the small prompt that pops up before you start it says that metahumans can only be rendered with unreal. Specifically saying that. I would assume they would need permission before they would spend the resources to do integration.

But first im doing UE5 and UE4.27.

Actually also curious if the most recent octane and ue 5.1 works with metahumans? If not I might have to use a different character creator.

Metahuman support is close to fully supported - however there are a few small issues that might break some of the materials or hair materials.
We are working on these, but in many situations metahumans should work for you.
