Metahuman please help

#1

Hi all.
I’m trying to build a rig from Metahuman in UE 5.6 ( the one with the new joint names)
I assemble the meta human into Maya just fine. But when I try and use:
UE5 MetaHuman/Manny Template, Y-up
from the shifter menue the template isn’t snapped.
If I then try use:
UE MetaHuman/Manny Snap
I get:
Error: mgear.shifter.io : No root or root_drv found in the scene.

I tried removing the namespace that “root” lives in but then I get this error:
Error: RuntimeError: file L:\tools\autodesk_maya\2025\modules\mgear_5.2.1\scripts\mgear\pymaya\node.py line 1051: nodeType: No object or UFE path string matches name ‘spine_04’

I’m using mGear 5.2.1 and Maya 2025.3.1

Has anyone else had similar issues?

Many thanks,
m@

Solved it. Turnes out Meta human has two spine_04 joints. Odd but there you go.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks
