Create Clothing Assets in Unreal Engine

The process of converting your cloth meshes into cloth assets is performed in Unreal Engine 5. In this section, we will import a USD file from Marvelous Designer. However, you can import assets from any external DCC package in FBX or USD formats.

As part of the Talisman: MetaHuman template, you can access several downloadable assets including an Unreal Engine project with the MetaHuman wearing Captain Roux’s jacket from the Talisman GDC demo. To learn how to access the downloadable files, see the Talisman MetaHuman Template tutorial.

Once you download the files, follow these steps to convert your meshes into a Cloth Asset:
