Can I use animations for the Mannequin Hand Skeletal Mesh, in the Full Mannequin Body’s hands?

So I’m working in a VR project, and until recently I only had Skeletal Meshes of hands with animations. But recently I found a plugin for an upper body IK (it’s called UBIK GitHub - JonasMolgaard/UBIKSolver: Upper Body IK is an implementation inspired by Mathias Parger's Master thesis.) animation based on the position of the Headset and the hands.

And I don’t know how to implement those animations made for hand skeletons, to a full body skeletal mesh.

I don’t even know if it’s possible. If it isn’t then I’ll create every animation one by one, for each hand, but using the full body skeleton, and then do a montage or blend? That way I can move my body but also see the animations in the hands?

I’m honestly figuring this out as I go, so any help is welcome. Thanks in advance!!

Hi there,

Did you solve the issue? I made full body ik for VR buy can’t implement hand animations yet.
