What it does

From Unreal export to a working Unity character.

Drop in a packaged DCC export and MHBridge creates a self-contained Unity asset: meshes for each LOD, HDRP materials, a shared skeleton and Avatar, plus the compact runtime DNA used by RigLogic.

The result works with Unity’s normal animation systems while retaining facial joints, blend shapes, body correctives, wrinkle maps, and visibility-aware runtime evaluation.

Character workflow overview

Core capabilities

The complete path, without hiding the details.

01

Guided character import

Import a complete .dcc export or work directly with raw .dna files. MHBridge builds Unity-ready assets from the source data.

02

Live RigLogic

Face and body correctives evaluate every frame over the Animator pose, preserving the character's authored behavior.

03

Animation-ready

Use facial takes, retargeted body motion, ARKit recordings, Timeline, blend trees, and avatar masks as familiar Unity assets.

04

HDRP character materials

Generate skin, eyes, wrinkles, and supporting materials with project validation for the settings that matter.

05

LOD-aware runtime

Native Unity LODGroups drive detail and skip rig evaluation when the character is not visible.

06

Clothing and hair workflows

Bind outfits across the LOD stack and bring strand grooms or hair cards into the character setup.
