 Once you have the character inside Unreal you want to utilize the shape keys to customize your character.

		+	You can do this in two ways, either you drag/drop the BP into the level, or you can make a subclass of it - add the morph table to either of these.
		+	Also there is a debug option, to be used for your own code... or for that in the customize blueprints.

		+	Special to the customization is that you must provide/build a table holding the skeleton mesh specific information for morph targets. This will allow you to setup the customization specific to your MakeHuman character. (Also you need a specific material if you want to enable the color tint.)

		+	If your base characters holds different morph targets your "Morph Table" must contain that specific skeleton reference, more details in the technical section on that topic:

 If you follow the [[Documentation:Saving models for Unreal Engine and how to import them there|instructions]] on how to import your MakeHuman characters to Unreal there is still a lot of work to do. In general you will need a generic blueprint to "assemble" your character and the cloth element, also you need a basic clothing system, and you need some basic interface to work with the "morph targets". Some of the morph targets will affect the basic shape of the character, while others can handle the general expressions.
-The basic parts leads to two different components for your character blueprint one for customizing the character shape and a system for cloth, hair and other modular attachments. Also the system should be able to handle different character types, say you may have several "base characters", characters of different genders etc.

	The exclusive grouping can be used at group level, so you can group shape keys that does not mix well - say one major body shape will corrupt an other shape. You will be able to exclude/clamp the other shapes to prevent this from happening.
