MetaHuman → Godot Look-Dev

MetaHumans rendered in stock Godot 4.6 (Forward+) — no engine fork. A real-time look-development & turntable tool: dial skin, lighting, hair, and eyes with live sliders, drive the 52 ARKit facial blendshapes, play a retargeted full-body motion library with planted feet, and capture stills / turntable movies.

⚠️ Not an Epic Games or Godot Foundation product. Independent community tool by Agile Lens. "MetaHuman", "Unreal Engine", and "Unreal" are trademarks of Epic Games, Inc. "Godot" is a trademark of the Godot Foundation.
