In this tutorial, we bring a custom 3D character into Unreal Engine and build a complete locomotion system.
We begin with Mixamo auto-rigging, export the rigged character from Blender, apply animations, and then set everything up inside a Third Person Unreal project. We replace the default mannequin, create custom inputs, and build an Animation Blueprint with smooth transitions for idle, walk, run, and jump.
