Pricing and availability

Important considerations
- Current authoring requires Unreal Engine 5.6 or later, the MetaHuman Creator plugin, additional Core Data, and an Epic Games account.[2], [3]
- Some authoring operations use Epic cloud services for automatic rigging and texture synthesis, so restricted networks need specific service domains allowlisted.[2]
- Use is governed by the Unreal Engine license; commercial terms can include royalties or seat licensing depending on revenue and how the output is distributed.[4]
