In this video, we fix a common MetaHuman LOD issue the right way. Previously, we temporarily solved the bug by setting LOD Sync to 0. While that works for cinematics, it’s not a production-ready solution. In this tutorial, I show the correct workflow for generating and configuring LODs for Skeletal Mesh assets in Unreal Engine. You’ll learn: • Why default Body LOD Settings don’t reduce geometry • How to properly configure triangle reduction percentages • How LOD switching works based on Screen Size • How to create custom LOD Settings for outfits and assets • How to automate LOD generation using an Editor Utility Blueprint • How to batch process multiple Skeletal Meshes • Why Skeleton Simplification matters Contact me - nicepicturesco@gmail.com My Site - https://www.outfit-maker.com/ Fab - https://www.fab.com/sellers/Nice%20Pictures CGTrader - https://www.cgtrader.com/designers/andrevish Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/andrewvish_/ By the end, you’ll have a production-ready LOD workflow that scales across multiple assets and projects. If you’re working with MetaHumans, character customization, or optimizing assets for games in UE5 — this video will save you time. #unrealengine5 #metahuman #ue5 #lods #gameoptimization

About This Video

In this UE5 MetaHuman bug-fix tutorial, I show the production-ready way to solve the “LOD weirdness” that a lot of people patch with LOD Sync = 0. Yeah, setting LOD Sync to zero can work for a cinematic, but it’s not a real fix—your assets simply don’t have proper LODs, so Unreal has nothing meaningful to switch to. The correct solution is generating LODs for your Skeletal Mesh assets and making sure the reduction settings actually reduce geometry. I walk through generating LODs using the default MetaHuman “Body LOD Settings,” and I show the gotcha: by default, those settings don’t recalculate geometry because the triangle reduction percentages aren’t defined. So I duplicate the settings, create an “outfit” LOD settings asset, and set practical reduction targets (like 0.5, 0.25, 0.15/0.1) across LODs. Then I demonstrate how LOD switching works based on Screen Size, and why the automatic reduction is often better than people expect. Finally, I solve the real scaling problem: doing this across lots of meshes. I build an Editor Utility Blueprint that iterates through selected assets, checks for Skeletal Meshes, applies LOD settings, and regenerates LODs in batch. End result: LOD Sync can go back to the default (-1), and your MetaHuman/outfits switch LODs properly at distance—clean, repeatable, and production-ready.
