A generated or pre-sculpted OBJ base mesh will be provided for every character. The artist will refine these starting meshes into production-quality characters while preserving unique facial features and proportions and ensuring full compatibility with the Unreal Engine 5 MetaHuman pipeline.

• Support Live Link facial tracking and animation retargeting

• Create and optimize character hair using hair cards or strand-based grooming

• Prepare 4K PBR character textures

• Portfolio examples of realistic Unreal Engine 5 head sculpts
