Custom Characters in Lyra using Reference Pose for Hand Animations

[1n_Rainb0ws]

Hi, hope all is well.
I’m currently attempting to add custom character models into Lyra and have managed to do so thanks to some tutorials online with the caveat being the hands appear to be bugged and stuck in their reference pose…

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, there
Welcome to this community.
What is the skeleton rig of your custom characters? UE4 (B_TinplateUE4)? UE5 (Manny/Quinn)? Mixamo? To get the best retargeting results, please check your retargeting pose, and try to use TPose for both source and target mesh. There is a thread about this topic below:

There is any Pose-T for the UE5 Mannequin?

Hi there, My understanding is that there is nothing impossible in Unreal. Have you ever tried to upload Manny to Mixamo.com and download it with a T-Pose animation? After importing only the animation to Manny inside UE5, save the animation as Pose Asset using right click + create pose asset, or directly inside the animation editor. Keep in mind that if you import the mesh with a new skeleton, the skeleton will come with root bone displaced at pelvis location, so this imported mesh is not usable…
