Learn professional animation retargeting workflows in Unreal Engine 5.4+ by replacing the default Third Person template character with custom models from Fab Marketplace and Mixamo. This hands-on tutorial covers two essential workflows: skeleton-compatible character swapping (no retargeting required) and full animation retargeting for characters with different bone structures.
Learn Retarget Animations tool to transfer Animation Blueprints between skeletons, configure root motion settings to fix common animation artifacts like T-pose fallbacks and jerky transitions, and implement dynamic first-person/third-person camera switching using Blueprint logic.
