Description

Lyra is a fully realized MetaHuman character created for realistic film, game, and cinematic production.

Her appearance reflects a life of hardship — pale skin tones, subtle freckles, under-eye darkness, fine wrinkles, and natural imperfections that read beautifully in close-ups.
The outfit is a medieval-style tunic and trousers, heavily weathered with layered dirt, stains, fabric damage, and realistic cloth breakup. All clothing textures are provided in 8K/4K, and the outfit has been automatically skinned (auto-weighted) to the MetaHuman skeleton for immediate use in Unreal Engine and MetaHuman Creator.

The custom groom is a thin, patchy, balding hairstyle, crafted with physically accurate strand scattering tailored for undernourished, exhausted, or historically grounded characters.
