Stop retargeting animations for Metahuman characters. it's not necessary.

In this short video, I will show that animations created for the UE5 skeleton work perfectly with the Metahuman skeleton. This means that these animations can be applied smoothly without the need for a complicated retargeting process.

Not sure if the option was available at the time of publishing this video but you can also right click the Manny/Quinn animation sequence in the content browser, click 'Replace Skeleton' and choose the metahuman skeleton.

You can also enable skeleton compatibility and all animations will also be available. (But, for a more correct result, and for any changes in the pose for the entire set or a specific animation, I would recommend using retarget) otherwise you will then be tormented by correcting some unnatural bend of one finger.

Yes, there are no problems with the animations of the UE5 mannequin. But there are much more animations for the UE4 mannequin. Retargeting will help fix fingers. So UE4 mannequin animations - retargeting, UE5 mannequin animations - import/export.

I have UE5.3 Anything dealing with metahumans crashes the engine I've lower all my settings decreased the resolution to 25 percent my game looks like a pixelated potato topping I've set the LODs to 6 and below I've made grooms into hair cards. What else do I need to turn off? It's bad enough metahumans don't have clothing

Hey man, Cool workflow. I was wondering if it's possible to Live Link an Iclone character and then remap the movements that I'm doing to the specific parts of that character (like moving arms,legs etc) into an Unreal Skeleton or Rig?. Like the workflow used to animate metahumans inside Iclone but this time with custom Characters using the UE4 Or UE5 Mannequin Rigs.Thanks in advance. You rock

@str0nger167 6 ай бұрын

Thank you its very easy and worked well

@charliemakescartoons 9 ай бұрын

Does this work for custom FBX mocap or just the native Mannequin animations? Looks like I'd need to retarget anyway.

Bro this is LEGIT, it even works with Terribilis Mixamo converter. After converting the animation just import it to UE5 with the MH skeleton and bam, that's its mayne. Its flawless!

If you have the mixamo converted skeleton then why you need to follow this process? where you can just use the converted mannequin with MH skeleton? never mind I just want to know what are the extra benefits of following this tutorial with Terribilis Mixamo converter?

It's not too time-consuming. You just need to export the animation and then import it again. That's all there is to it.

@Metarig 5 ай бұрын

I'm really sorry if the video wasn't up to par. There are a few things to keep in mind: first, English isn't my first language, so I sometimes struggle with finding the right words. Also, making these tutorial videos doesn't earn me any money; I do it just to help others. If you've ever tried making a tutorial, you know it's hard to get it perfect on the first try. It usually takes several recordings and a lot of editing, which is very time-consuming. I don't do any of that; I just record the video and upload it as is. I won't redo or edit it.
