Installation

This guide covers how to install Off World Live's fork of VRM4U in your Unreal Engine project.

Requirements

  • Unreal Engine: 5.6, 5.5, 5.4, 5.3, 5.2, 5.1, 5.0, or 4.27-4.20
  • Project Type: C++ or Blueprint Project
  • Platforms: Windows, Mac, Mobile (Android, iOS)

Installation Steps

1. Download the Plugin

Download the latest release from our fork:

2. Create or Open Your Project

  1. Open Unreal Engine
  2. Create a new project or open an existing one (C++ or Blueprint)
  3. Once ready, exit Unreal Engine

3. Extract the Plugin

  1. Navigate to your project folder (where the .uproject file is located)
  2. Create a Plugins folder if it doesn't exist
  3. Extract the downloaded VRM4U ZIP into the Plugins folder

Your folder structure should look like this:

+ MyProject
  - MyProject.uproject
  + Plugins
    + VRM4U
      - VRM4U.uplugin
      + Binaries
      + Config
      + Content
      + Resources
      + Source

4. Generate Visual Studio Project Files (C++ Projects Only)

If you're using a C++ project:

  1. Right-click on your .uproject file
  2. Select "Generate Visual Studio Project Files"
  3. Wait for the process to complete

5. Build the Solution (C++ Projects Only)

If you're using a C++ project:

  1. Open the generated .sln file in Visual Studio
  2. Select Development Editor configuration
  3. Click Build > Rebuild Solution
  4. Wait for the build to complete (this may take several minutes)

6. Launch the Project

  1. Open your project in Unreal Engine
  2. You may see a prompt asking to rebuild modules - click Yes (C++ projects)
  3. Go to Edit > Plugins
  4. Search for "VRM4U"
  5. Check the box to enable VRM4U
  6. Restart the editor when prompted

Verify Installation

To verify VRM4U is installed correctly:

  1. Open the Content Browser
  2. Enable plugin content visibility:
    • Click the Settings icon (gear) in Content Browser
    • Check "Show Plugin Content"
  3. Navigate to Plugins > VRM4U Content
  4. You should see the VRM4U sample maps and assets

Sample Maps

Sample maps can be found at:

  • VRM4UContent/Maps/VRM4U_sample.umap

If you don't see plugin content, make sure you've enabled "Show Plugin Content" in the Content Browser settings.

Platform-Specific Notes

Windows

  • No additional steps required
  • Pre-built binaries are included

Troubleshooting Installation

"Plugin requires modules that are missing" error (Blueprint Projects)

  • This is normal for Blueprint projects
  • The plugin should still work if you click "Yes" to continue

Plugin doesn't appear in Plugins list

  • Check that VRM4U.uplugin is in the correct folder structure
  • Verify you extracted the entire plugin folder, not just contents

Build errors in Visual Studio (C++ Projects)

  • Make sure you have the correct Visual Studio version for your UE version
  • Try cleaning and rebuilding the solution

Next Steps

Once installation is complete, proceed to Getting Started to learn how to use the extended skeleton features!
