HELP metahuman (ue5) mesh broken after imported to substance painter

[Alexandra.m]

Hi! my metahuman face mesh imported from unreal to substance painter (following this quick guide https://youtu.be/uaYNgMcEYEE) is broken. I tried different fbx versions, but they all ended up the same.

Thank you!

Hi, 

I haven't tried this workflow before, but from your screenshot, it looks like you have a lot of meshes stacked. It might be the LODs... Have you tried opening the .fbx in maya/blender/max? 
Thanks a lot,
Regards,

I don't know if you've solved this issue, but perhaps this info will help the next person like myself coming across this thread. Basically the issue is that the original FBX file you exported from UE5 contains all the meshes for each LOD. You can open that same fbx file in blender and then remove all but the one you need  to import into Substance Painter. Currently I can't figure out how to remove the eyelashes in blender, but hopefully this can help someone.
