A Simple Metahuman Downloader for Unreal Engine 5
- first download it from here.
- run MetaHuman Downloader.exe
- open quixel.com and login. choose any metahuman you want
- copy the assetId parameter from link (the part I highlighted here) and paste in in Metahuman Downloader:
- right click on quixel.com empty page area and click Inspect or Inspect Element (depends on your browser) and go to Network tab.
- right click on the link that starts with list and select Copy -> Copy as fetch. if there is no link just press F5 to refresh the page.
- open a text editor like notepad and paste the text you just copied. find the "authorization" field and copy the text that I highlighted with yellow color. DON'T copy the "" before and after the text.
- paste the code in Metahuman Downloader's big text box.
- choose if the metahuman you're trying to download is public or private. private ones are the ones you've created and you can see them in here. rest of them are public.
- now click Get Link. the link will be copied to your clipboard. you can paste it in your Web Browser or Download Manager.
- After downloading the zip file extract it and open the folder, you'll see a MetaHumans folder.
- Close Unreal Engine and Copy that MetaHumans folder into the project you want (replace YOUR_USERNAME with your windows username and PROJECT_NAME with your Unreal Engine project name.)
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\Documents\Unreal Projects\PROJECT_NAME\Content
It works by using Bridge's private API.
I couldn't download the models using bridge plugin so I made this. it's faster and works every time!
