Purchasing on FAB

MetaHuman Optimizer is available on the FAB Marketplace. After purchasing, the plugin will appear in your Epic Games Library under Fab and can be installed to any compatible Unreal Engine version from there.

Installing the Plugin

There are two ways to install the plugin: engine-wide (via the Epic Games Launcher) or per-project (by copying the plugin folder manually). Both work identically at runtime, so choose whichever suits your workflow.

Option A: Engine Install (Recommended)

1. Open the Epic Games Launcher
2. Go to Fab (or Library depending on your launcher version)
3. Find MetaHuman Optimizer in your purchases
4. Click Install to Engine and select your Unreal Engine installation
5. The plugin is now available to all projects on that engine version

The plugin installs to:

...\UE_5.x\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace\MetaHumanOptimizer\

Option B: Per-Project Install

Copy the MetaHumanOptimizer folder into your project's Plugins/ directory:

YourProject/
└── Plugins/
    └── MetaHumanOptimizer/
        ├── MetaHumanOptimizer.uplugin
        ├── BlenderScripts/
        ├── Config/
        ├── Content/
        ├── Data/
        ├── Resources/
        └── Source/

Enabling the Plugin

After installing (engine-wide or per-project), you need to enable the plugin in each project that will use it:

1. Open your Unreal Engine project
2. Go to Edit > Plugins
3. Search for MetaHuman Optimizer
4. Check the Enabled checkbox
5. Click Restart Now when prompted

While you have the Plugins window open, also make sure the required MetaHuman plugins are enabled.

Opening the Plugin Window

Once the plugin is enabled and the editor has restarted:

Tools > MetaHuman > MetaHuman Optimizer

The plugin window will open as a dockable tab. You can dock it anywhere in the editor layout, or leave it floating.
