Hair and Beard (New for v1.24)
Auto Setup 1:1 transfers Hair Shader parameters from Character Creator/iClone to Unreal. Shader is setup to easily adjust hair color, highlights, specularity, roughness, thickness (hair alpha), and more. Hair, brow, and beard are all assigned the Hair Shader.
Hair Settings from Character Creator to Unreal
The Color, Strands Highlight, and Roughness / Specular settings in Digital Human Hair shader are transferred to Unreal material settings. You can freely tweak them to fit into the Unreal project scenario.
