Export Rigged Model From Blender To UE4

[VSZ]

This imports (at least for me) with the same “Imported bone transform is different from original” warning mentioned above.

The mesh imports facing backwards from the way it animates. The mesh still flips around once you play the animation, but there’s still something wrong obviously.

This only happens exporting with FBX 7.4; 6.1 imports the mesh facing backwards from Blender’s forward facing, but I don’t get the transform warning and the animations play the same way the mesh is facing.

I’m seeing exactly the same behavior - my skeletal mesh faces backwards on import, I get a bone transform warning while the animations themselves work fine as they are flipped in the ‘right’ direction.

Sadly I still haven’t managed to perfect a solid workflow from Blender to UE4. I’ve imported a couple of skeletal meshes over the months and they all work but each has its own set of quirks or hacks to go with it.

If I try importing a stick figure with a very simple rig as an experiment everything just works (with ‘use t0 as reference pose’ of course) but with anything more complex I run into issues like these on import. Ah well - the bone transform error hasn’t affected anything functionally in my game yet so I’ll just assume my rig is complete and move on to texturing my model

Edit: It turns out my stick figure also had the same issue, I must have glossed over it earlier because it was symmetric.
