Unreal Engine 5.1 game project and now you can see this is DSG Studio the day Studio Genesis 8.1 3D avatar so in order to import into Unreal Engine 5.1 to make it become a game Avatar together with the facial more facial expressions What You Need is Another software what we call the character creator 4. and actually it is from dag Studio into the Character Creator 4.1 by using the Transformer and it automatically will add all the facial morph and facial expressions with full skeletons and dents it is easier to import into Android engine 5.1 and I will show you the fastest step the easier

check it it is going to open by using the 3D viewer in window this is window 10 but it cannot load for certain reason I don't know but it doesn't matter just close this this is the fbx file The Next Step you can just close your DSG Studio right the original fbx file exported from DSG Studio it doesn't have any of the facial more of like Visa so we are going to use the character creator for Transformer this is the CC 4.1 Transformer transform it into cc3 Plus it is on my desktop the fbx file that exported from dhg Studio the Genesis 8.1 female01 just double click it is going to import
