Animation retargeting woes

Development Character & Animation

I’m consistently experiencing problems when I try to make UE4 retargeting system work.

Example:

Original animation:

original.jpg1912×1072 218 KB
&stc=1&d=1451050982

Retargeted results:

bad retarget.jpg1912×1072 225 KB
&stc=1&d=1451050965

Reference pose:

ref pose.jpg1912×1072 171 KB
&stc=1&d=1451051002

Manequin reference pose:

ref manequin pose.jpg
ref manequin pose.jpg1912×1072 155 KB
&stc=1&d=1451050996

I’d like to know how the heck something like that even happens in the first place and how do I fix this.
I do suspect that rotated bone handles in the reference pose might have something to do with the problem, but even in this case I’m not entirely sure how to deal with this.

Also, if anyone has working workflow for retargeting large number of animations across different characters, I’m all ears.

I had the same problem and had just the bone placement

Would you care to elaborate?

Hmm. Sorry it doesn’t completely apply in this case. Thanks for replying, though.
