BLENDER ADDON / VERSION 1.0

REVO DNA

Your sculpt.
Your MetaHuman.

Shape custom MetaHuman heads and bodies in Blender. Conform your meshes, check facial movement and LODs, then export the edited DNA to Unreal Engine.

Blender 5.2.x   /   Windows x64   /   MetaHuman Tools

CONFORM BY UVS

Bring your sculpt into your MetaHuman.

Already working with MetaHuman topology and compatible UVs? Transfer your sculpt directly to the imported DNA character. No marker placement needed.

METAHUMAN ANIMATION

See your character move.

Check expressions on your edited character with the Faceboard or load a compatible animation clip. Inspect the eyes, mouth and jaw before exporting.

LEVELS OF DETAIL

Check the shape at every LOD.

Update lower LODs from your edited LOD0 and switch between them in Blender. Preview all eight head LODs and four body LODs, with paired head and body levels following the standard LODSync mapping.

MARKER CONFORM

Different topology. Your target shape.

Working from a scan or a custom sculpt? Place matching markers on the Source and Target, then conform. Grab markers to adjust them, or use symmetry to place matching pairs.

Quickly place and adjust matching markers, directly in Blender.

SYNC VIEWS

Keep both sides in view.

Rotate the Source and Target together while placing markers. Compare the same angle on both meshes as you work around the face and ears.

PROTECTION MASKING

Keep the areas you want to preserve.

Paint protection where you need it, or build a mask from selected edge loops. Blend protected areas into the new shape.

For the neck attachment, use Neck Transition to control the blend without painting.

THE RESULT

From a new shape to your final character.

Inspect the fit, adjust its strength, then Apply to the Source or Create Object. Transfer a fitted template to your DNA character with UV Conform, bake your edits and export to Unreal Engine.

Result in Unreal Engine 5.8

COLOR-CODED UI

Find your tools at a glance.

Clear labels and colored section markers make the tools easy to scan. The same color sequence runs from top to bottom across all three tabs. Collapse sections to keep the tools you need in view.

ALSO INCLUDED

More of your character workflow, in Blender.

Sculpt across the neck

Weld the neck seam for sculpting, then unweld to return to separate head and body meshes.

Transfer textures

Transfer base color and normal maps to your Source UVs. Extend texture borders and save the images.

Bake, validate and export

Bake your edits into the MetaHuman, validate the character and export separate head and body DNA files.

GETTING STARTED

Bring your DNA and your sculpt.

Import your MetaHuman Creator DCC Export DNA and your custom head or body. For a sculpt with different topology, use Epic's MetaHuman Conform Topology as a fitting template.

Use your own MetaHuman character assets. Epic's Faceboard layout and ROM animations are available from Epic at no additional cost. The documentation explains how to download the layout and export the animations for REVO DNA. These files are not bundled with the addon. Supports Blender 5.2.x on Windows x64.
