So now that we have created our base
character model,

we need to bring it into Unreal Engine.

Let's start with Unreal Engine 4.

When you open Quixel Bridge
and go to My Metahumans,

you will see that your character appears
right there.

In order to use it,
you need to download it first,

which can take some time,
depending on your settings.

Choose your texture resolution here.

Remember that you can only export
to Unreal Engine what you have downloaded.

So if you download 1K textures, for example,

you will not be able to export 8K.

I leave it at 8K.

Also, if you go into the download settings here,

you can choose what you want to download.

The UAsset files are intended for Unreal
Engine and include meshes, textures,

materials, blueprints, animation,
anything that you need in Unreal Engine.

The Source Asset is necessary
if you want to use the character in Maya.

Since we are using Blender in our workflow,

we need to start in Unreal Engine
and export our assets from there.

Click download
and after the download is done,

the character is ready to export.

Now, when you go to your export settings,
you can set your export target,

that is the Unreal Engine version

you are working with: 4.27 or 4.26.

Metahumans require at least 4.26

and don't work
with older Unreal Engine versions,

as far as I know.

If you don't have the Unreal Engine
plugin installed yet,

go to Quixel.com, then
-> Learning and FAQs. Here you will find a

very detailed instruction
on how to install and use the plugin.

I will leave the other export options
for textures, etc.

on default.

So I have here an open Unreal Engine project

and then I just click on export
in Quixel Bridge and the character

is automatically imported
into Unreal Engine.

For Unreal Engine 5

it works in exactly the same way,

only that you don't need to open
the Quxel Bridge application.

You can just open up

an Unreal Engine 5 project,
then right click in the content browser,

Add Quixel Content and a Bridge-like
interface will open up

where you can choose your characters
and import them directly from Unreal Engine.

In the next video, I will walk you through
how the metahuman characters are set up.

We will look into the different blueprints,
the skeletons and materials

so you can get a better and deeper
understanding

of what we will have to consider
when making decisions later on,

during our customization process.
