“Brian teaches you to think like a production artist, a far more durable skill. He writes about problems he has solved on set and in the edit, under the same time and budget pressures the rest of us work under.”- John Kennedy, VFX Supervisor & Co-Founder, Elephant Goldfish
Key Features
- Learn the complete MetaHuman production pipeline using Unreal Engine 5.7
- Create production-ready digital humans with body animation, facial motion capture, and cinematic rendering
- Extend your workflow with Mesh to MetaHuman, Blender, Maya, Houdini, and professional production tools
Book Description
Learn how professional digital humans are created from concept to final cinematic render using Unreal Engine 5.7 and MetaHuman Creator. Creating a MetaHuman is only the beginning. The real challenge is turning that character into a believable digital performance.
Fully updated for Unreal Engine 5.7, where MetaHuman Creator is fully integrated into the editor, this second edition teaches the complete MetaHuman production pipeline, taking you from character creation and assembly through body animation, facial motion capture, clothing, cinematic sequencing, lighting, rendering, and advanced production workflows. New chapters cover Mesh to MetaHuman, Blender hair grooms, and professional tools that extend the MetaHuman pipeline beyond Unreal Engine.
Rather than focusing on individual features, this book follows the same structured workflow used throughout modern productions. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, helping you understand not only how to use the tools, but why they are used and how they fit together within a complete production pipeline.
Whether you're producing game cinematics, animated films, virtual productions, or interactive experiences, this book provides the practical knowledge needed to create production-ready digital humans using the latest MetaHuman workflows.

(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
