Mastering Metahuman Hair Painting with Ornatrix and Unreal Engine 5

Tutorial / 20 March 2023

In this video, I show how I created a complex hair painting in Metahuman using the Ornatrix plugin for Unreal Engine 5. I use the Vertex Hair Paint feature to paint the hair color directly on the hair model, allowing me to achieve a more accurate and realistic result. After finishing the painting, I demonstrate how to enable the display of the hair color in a special shader. This allows me to achieve a more realistic and natural look for the hair in my projects.

Throughout the video, I explain each step of the process in detail and provide tips to help you create your own Metahuman hair painting using Ornatrix. I also discuss some best practices for working with Vertex Hair Paint and shaders to help you achieve the best results.

Overall, if you want to learn how to create a beautiful and realistic hair painting in Metahuman using Ornatrix and Unreal Engine 5, then this video is for you!
