MetaHumans in Godot? In VR?!

VR Depth of Field in Godot

The story

MetaHumans rendered in stock Godot 4.6/4.7 Forward+ — no engine fork, no custom build. Started as a look-dev turntable (dial in skin, lighting, hair, eyes with live sliders; drive all 52 ARKit facial blendshapes), now a full character viewer: v0.3.0 added a retargeted Mixamo motion library with planted feet; v0.4.0 landed pore detail, a grounded studio floor, and limbal ring eye shaders. The VR preview (v0.1.0, Godot 4.7-beta3) puts it in stereo room-scale on Quest — walk around the character at path quality. Bring your own MetaHuman (Epic EULA respected; assets aren't redistributed).

Highlights

  • ✦Stock Godot 4.6/4.7 Forward+ — AgX, SSIL, screen-space subsurface scattering
  • ✦The MatMADNESS skin shader stack, fully sliderized + v0.4.0 pore and cavity detail
  • ✦52 ARKit facial blendshape drivers
  • ✦Full-body Mixamo motion library with planted feet (v0.3.0+)
  • ✦Stereo VR preview — room-scale on Quest via Godot 4.7-beta3 (v0.1.0)

MetaHuman → Godot Look-Dev

MetaHumans rendered in stock Godot 4.6 (Forward+) — no engine fork. A real-time look-development & turntable tool: dial skin, lighting, hair, and eyes with live sliders, drive the 52 ARKit facial blendshapes, play a retargeted full-body motion library with planted feet, and capture stills / turntable movies.
