Animations For Older Versions Of Mannequins

So I am looking for an animation blueprint of the UE4 mannequin. Anyway, how to get it, from some source or anything like that?

Hi Xvixicho,

If you create a “Third Person Template” from UE 4.27 or earlier - that creates an Animation Blueprint for that skeleton.

That can be migrated to 5.1.

5.1 has Animation Blueprint Templates though which are kind of handy - when you create one - you can specify that it’s not linked to any skeleton - then you can create children from it and specify unique animations for each one.

You’re also able to share common skeletons animations by adding them as “compatible” skeletons (with 5.0 up)

Oh yes, I didn’t know about that ue5.1 could do that, I have not downloaded it yet, Idk why, and I didn’t want to install ue4 just for this animation blueprint, I only have 5.0.3. Anyways thanks for the advice!

I don’t think a project from 4.27 will open in 5.0 as it was actually released after 5.0.
I’ve got 4.26 installed, so I created a ThirdPersonTemplate project and put it here so you can download (44mb)

ThirdPersonTmplt_426.zip

(Also the ABP templates system is in 5.0 as well)
