In this video I go through adding a new skeleton to a mesh in Unreal Engine.
Until now this was only possible by going out to another DCC such as Blender or Maya. Now we can do it in Unreal Engine 5.3!

The first thing you need to do is enable the Skeletal mesh editing tools plugin !!! For a long time I didn’t understand why I didn’t have a conversion button !

Years....for years I've been begging Unreal Engine to have this feature.....I can't express how awesome it is to finally have it

Exactly what I was looking for to get started experimenting. I can now make my stickman character modeling / animating everything inside unreal. All I was finding was full character skeleton tutorials, usually imported from another program. Thanks for doing this.

Learning Unreal Engine currently, KZfaq is my teacher. Thanks for showing me how to make my rough sketch of a dog move.

Good stuff, they are making it so you don't have to rely on DCCs for small things like this anymore

Thanks Jonathan! Its so cool to be able to do more in the same place. Unreal Engine is fast becoming a DCC.

Hi, how can you add separate meshes to the same armor, for example to create the skeleton of a weapon with magazine, Shell ejector, trigger etc?

Just starting out with UE. That was great! Thanx! 🙂

@thomaswindfeld728 11 ай бұрын

Hi again. So I opened up UE 5,3 and there is no blue editing tool box thingi. Yes I clicked on the "skeleton mesh". So I don't have the tools for editing and creating the skeleton. Any ideas? :-) Thanx again!

@ORTyOW 6 ай бұрын

Is it possible to copy other skeleton and paste it to a new in this tool?

Hello, can you please do a tutorial for using morph targets with Control rig? Face morph targets with Control Rig. And a bicep flex with Control Rig?

Any reason why your bones would disappear in the Skeleton Tree after applying your skin to the bones?

@jamaalsineke2405 8 ай бұрын

Thank you for making this. Do you know if you can retarget animations from blender to the rigs you create in skeletal editor?

@edtcg 8 ай бұрын

Yes, retargeting is great in UE now, much easier
