This is something that I’ve been working on since August of 2024 when Character Studio released. Any information here or on the drive might change with time or the whole thing may no longer be maintained after modding tools are officially released in May. For the time being, I wanted to share everything I’ve learned since then with those who might be interested in it. This is a community effort—everything here has been gathered by both myself and others through lots of trial and error. Thank you to everyone who’s contributed to these guides and resources! Basics These guides assume you have some experience with Blender and Unreal Engine 5.4+. I my guides don't cover super basic steps (like how to install software, addons, etc.), but I try to keep it as pain-free as possible.
