Part of the Process guide

Early access

The new process system is only in the early access version of Human Generator. It replaces the process tab of earlier versions, which is deprecated. Details can still change. If something doesn't work, or the result is not what you expected, let us know, on the Discord or by email.

Export to Unity

The Unity recipe of the Process tab makes an FBX that Unity imports as a Humanoid character, with the textures packed for the Standard and URP Lit shaders.

In Blender

Select the human, open the Process tab and choose the Unity recipe.
Set the Folder to a folder inside your project's Assets, so Unity imports the files straight away.
Press Export to FBX.

What the recipe sets, and why:

Setting	Value	Why
Output	FBX, textures in a `Textures` folder next to it	Unity finds textures in a Textures folder next to the model
Skeleton	Humanoid names, T-pose, root bone `Root`, 4 bones per vertex, meters	Unity's Humanoid avatar maps the bones by name; it expects a T-pose
Bake Textures	Metallic-Smoothness packing, DirectX normal map, PNG	What the Standard and URP Lit shaders read
Shape Keys	Face rig, expressions and correctives kept, sliders baked	The face as blend shapes, the body fixed

In Unity

Import: with the folder inside Assets, Unity imports Jake.fbx and the Textures folder by itself.
Rig: select Jake.fbx, open the Rig tab of the Inspector, set Animation Type to Humanoid with Avatar Definition: Create From This Model, and press Apply. The avatar is configured without errors, as the bone names are the ones Unity looks for.
Materials: Unity creates a material per part and finds the textures next to the model. When it asks to mark the normal maps as Normal map, press Fix now. If a material has an empty Metallic slot, drop its _MetallicSmoothness texture in; the smoothness is read from the alpha channel.
Hair: set the hair materials to Cutout (Built-in) or Alpha Clipping (URP, HDRP) and make them two-sided, so the cards show their transparency.

Blend shapes

The face rig and the expressions are blend shapes of the body's Skinned Mesh Renderer. Face capture tools for Unity drive the FACS names directly. The corrective keys are driven by bones in Blender and are static in Unity unless you drive them yourself; remove them in Shape Keys if you don't.

LOD levels

Export with 2 or 3 LOD levels and Unity turns the _LOD0, _LOD1 meshes into an LOD Group on import.

Troubleshooting

The skin looks dented or inverted: the normal map direction. Unity uses DirectX (Y−); the recipe sets it, check it wasn't changed.
The hair is solid: the hair material needs alpha clipping, see above. Make sure the textures were exported as PNG, not JPEG.
The eyes look like glass balls: the character was exported with the original eyes. Set the eyes to High or lower in Optimize Meshes.
Arms are raised or lowered in every animation: the rest pose of the character and the animation differ. Animations made in the A-pose need the A-pose rest pose.
