This addon is geared toward importing and modifing the .dna file format (Which defines the metahuman head and how RigLogic evaluates its properties). Currently you can export/import bodies with FBX etc. But we do plan to make an addon for the bodies and RBF calibration as well!

For the hair, you would need another export/import process through another file format like alembic (for the strands) since DNA doesn't contain/support hair. Or if you want to export the hair cards as FBX that should be possible, but I don't believe Unreal supports exporting hair

Hey! Things are progressing nicely, and we are very close to an initial release. There shouldn't be any reason to have to go the Maya route now, so I think this would help your production a great deal. We have just started filling out our docs.polyhammer.com and YouTube. So

If you are using version 0.3.3 of the addon you should be able to import the head exported from MetaHuman Creator in Unreal 5.6 or older and get it into blender just fine. However, there is a substantial addon update coming for 5.6 support, the Send to Unreal functionality, and
