Bring gritty realism and visual storytelling to your Unreal Engine cinematic characters, survival games, and combat sequences. This asset pack provides realistic facial damage, lacerations, environmental grime, and blood splatter mapped directly to MetaHuman facial topologies.

Designed to support diverse character rosters, each distress variation is tuned across multiple skin tones and age brackets (Young, Aged, and Mature).

Key Features

• 3 Primary Distress Categories:

  • Dirt (Low & High Intensity): From subtle surface dust and soot to heavy environmental grime.

  • Cuts & Abrasions: Scrapes, split lips, brow cuts, and blunt trauma contusions with realistic normal depth.

  • Blood & Splatter: Dripping gore, impact splatter, and coagulated battlefield wounds.

• Universal Skin Tone Blending: Balanced albedo values that preserve natural subcutaneous tones on light, medium, and dark skin without ashen or washed-out artifacts.

• Age-Adapted Placements: Damage layouts tuned for Young Male, Aged Male, and Old Male facial forms and wrinkle lines.

• Full Depth Normal Maps: Deliver physical edge depth on cuts, raised scabbed lacerations, and caked surface mud in dynamic cinematic lighting.
