Animation Starter Pack retargeted to 4.8 Mannequin

Development Character & Animation

Hi guys,
I retargeted the Anim Starter Pack animations to fit 4.8 mannequin. This isn’t perfect but better than using originals.

Hope that Epic updates this pack soon.

MEGA (Obsolete)

Edit:
Fixed default TPS animations (Idle, Walk, Run, Jump) to avoid blend issues.

I don’t know why but default animations have their root rotated to 90° so it may cause blend issues (feet under the ground) with others animations. So I fixed it.

Thank you so much. I was starting to wonder if they planned on fixing that.

I’m still wondering why they never ‘re-targeted’ the original animations to work with the Starter Pack. Not having basic, unarmed Idle/Walk/Run or a plain jump cycle is a bit of a pain. Not a deal breaker, just a pain.

Thanks so much man

Well, you’ve got further than I have attempting to re-target other animations from the old mannequin. Any chance you could share your process? I’m getting, let’s say, ‘poor results’ from adjusting the re-target pose.

You’re welcome.

It is now updated.

@ DaveFace :
I used the first frame of both idle anims as “T-Pose” and retargeted them with Motion Builder.

I’ve downloaded the Starter Animations in 4.10 and I’m getting the error:

“Skeleton of Animation is not compatible with Blend Space’s skeleton”.

I’m used to Unity where I could use any old animation even if it was completely ruined. So any help would be appreciated.

(cross-posting to bugs just in case).
