@MDUmairKh @Create3dChara Yes it’s 100% Metahuman, the Hive rig is automatically built to match the skeleton and then there’s a constraint between the Metahuman skeleton and Hive. Any exporting is done with Metahuman the usual way.

We also auto support UE skeletons and ingestion/skin transfer as well.

Full metahuman support now in the Hive Autorigger!

@MDUmairKh @Create3dChara We have two methods for either constraining or skin transfer to Hive for both character creator and metaHuman skele bodies. It’s not a truly one click setup, a couple of steps, but easy. Keep an eye on our channel as I show this in action.

We've just massively updated the Hive Auto-Rigger now with a new mouth component completing our joint based face. Engine friendly, animators don't need plugins!!

@chaliyviz @Create3dChara Zoo Tools Pro with Hive is $40 and you can keep the scripts and assets forever. For upgrades you must be on subscription which is $10 per month. You can jump on anytime to upgrade.

Arthur Collie created this gorgeous animation featuring our Rhino and Natalie; he even rigged our Rhino model, too, with the Hive Autorigger!

[Andrew Silke @andrewsilke]

@ChristophSchadl Thanks @ChristophSchadl though hoping to cover a lot more soon!

[Andrew Silke @andrewsilke]

@ChristophSchadl whoo!!

[Andrew Silke @andrewsilke]

@ChristophSchadl You know who to ask for any questions! :)

[Andrew Silke @andrewsilke]

@ChristophSchadl Skin sock/cage/proxy + br smooth weights for the win! Can also be ng for smoothing.

[Andrew Silke @andrewsilke]

@ChristophSchadl Yeah but we all want to be in ShaderX. Only 2025 supports native Maya, patience, takes time!!

[Andrew Silke @andrewsilke]

@bclark_cgchar Ha! Yes, well done mate for making this happen. :)
