Animation and Rigging Tools: FAQ, Known Issues and Feature Roadmap

For most of the simple animations I imported the ART skeleton in MotionBuilder and characterized it. Once the mocap animation is baked I then export as an FBX. The next step is, unfortunately for you, using the import mocap command.
I think we should focus on the FBX import dialog and this kind of options.
Can you import your baked mocap animation in an empty scene and check it? It should have only the animated skeleton. If not try to export again from MoBu using the export selection option. Then try again.
Let’s have a clean file before going into the problem

Hi ,

For clarity sake the only skeleton I’m using is the UE4 skeleton.

Yes my animation is in an fbx which contains just the skeleton with animation on it. What I did was plot the animation onto the skeleton then export. I imported that fbx into maya which only had the skeleton and animation. I thing I did notice was the imported skeleton fbx skeletons bones were named my_character:root etc… I tried importing this fbx onto the UE4 rig using the import mocap and what you saw in the video happened. Then I went into the FBX in maya and removed my characters names from the skeleton bones to its just “root” etc… I then tried to import this through the ART script and the same thing happened.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

All the best,
