Transfer and clean the texture

Project the Source colour onto the MetaHuman UVs, then rebuild damaged areas with Smart Paint.

For: Imported scans and AI-generated models

Before you begin

Texture Transfer projects the Source albedo onto the MetaHuman UVs.

1.1MetaWrap starts in Solid view (F6). F5 shows the wireframe and F7 the material, with your textures. Switch views only with these keys, not from Blender's menus.
1.2Your model came without an albedo? Load it in Step 1 with Replace Albedo Map.
1.3Stay close to the wrap result: small fixes are fine, but don't change the pose or sculpt heavily before the transfer, or the two models won't match. Do major sculpting afterwards, in MetaSculpt.
1.4Open Step 4: Bake and Paint, choose the resolution and click Texture Transfer. 2K is enough for AI-generated models; 4K is the maximum for the albedo, and our suggestion for good textures.
1.5Dark areas are where the Source had no colour information, such as behind the ears: Smart Paint fixes them next.

AI-generated albedos are often inconsistent: Smart Paint rebuilds wrong or damaged areas from a clean base map.

2.1Open Smart Paint and paint over the areas to rebuild, such as nostrils, eye corners, eyebrows and the gaps the transfer left.
2.2Under your strokes there is a high-quality 4K base map: Smart Paint blends from it, a bit like content-aware fill. Colour correction is on the left, and you can repeat as many times as you like.
2.3While you paint, the rest of the panel is locked. Click Apply Paint to finish and generate the final albedo, or press Esc to cancel.
2.4Preview in Eevee for a realistic check before you apply.
