original digital human.
Starting everything from scratch, however, can take a lot of time.
That’s why we created the ArtHeroes MetaHuman Male & Female Basemeshes.
A Production-Ready Starting Point
The ArtHeroes basemeshes are designed as foundations for artists who want to build their own custom MetaHuman characters.
Instead of starting with a blank canvas, you get a professionally created character base that you can modify, sculpt, and develop according to your project.
Both the Male and Female Basemeshes are game-ready and include the original sculpt, giving you access to both the production mesh and the high-resolution sculpt.
The idea is simple:
Start with a solid foundation, then make it your own.
What's Included?
Each basemesh package includes:
- Game-ready MetaHuman base mesh
- High-resolution sculpt
- Production-ready topology
- A solid foundation for custom character development
- A workflow designed around MetaHuman Creator
The sculpt is particularly useful when you want to push the character further and develop more specific facial shapes, proportions, or details.
Create the Character You Want
One of the main advantages of working with a basemesh is flexibility.
You can take the ArtHeroes base and use it as the starting point for your own character.
Want a different facial structure?
Change it.
Want to create a specific likeness?
Use the basemesh as your foundation.
Want to develop a completely original digital human?
Start sculpting.
The goal isn't to give you a finished character that you simply use as-is. It's to give you the foundation you need to create your own.
Designed for MetaHuman Workflows
The basemeshes are made to fit naturally into a MetaHuman-based workflow.
You can use the mesh as a starting point, bring your character into MetaHuman Creator, and then customize the character using the tools available within the MetaHuman ecosystem.
This makes the basemeshes particularly useful for artists who want to combine traditional character sculpting with the flexibility of MetaHuman.
You can work on the artistic side of the character while still benefiting from the broader MetaHuman pipeline.
Who Are These For?
The ArtHeroes basemeshes are aimed at artists who want more control over their digital humans.
They can be useful for:
Character Artists
Create custom digital humans without spending time building the initial character foundation from scratch.
Game Developers
Develop original playable or NPC characters using a game-ready starting point.
VFX & Cinematics Artists
Create custom digital humans for cinematic and visual effects projects.
Digital Human Artists
Experiment with different faces, proportions, likenesses, and character designs.
3D Artists Learning MetaHuman
Use a practical production-oriented base to understand how custom character development can work within a MetaHuman workflow.
Why Use a Basemesh?
Character creation is often about iteration.
You try a shape.
You change it.
You sculpt it.
You test it.
You change it again.
Having a strong base means you can spend more time on those creative decisions instead of spending days establishing the fundamentals.
The ArtHeroes basemeshes are intended to remove some of that initial technical work and give artists a foundation they can immediately start building on.
Male & Female Basemeshes
We've created both Male and Female versions so artists can choose the foundation that best fits their project.
Whether you're creating a realistic digital human, developing a fictional character, working on a likeness, or simply experimenting with MetaHuman workflows, both bases are designed to be starting points rather than limitations.
Your final character is up to you.
Build Something Original
There are plenty of ready-made characters available online.
But sometimes you don't want another finished character.
You want a foundation.
Something you can open, modify, sculpt and transform into something that belongs to your project.
That's the philosophy behind the ArtHeroes MetaHuman Basemeshes.
You provide the creative direction. The basemesh provides the starting point.
Start with the ArtHeroes Male or Female MetaHuman Basemesh and build the digital human you've been imagining.
