can anyone help me with it?
Hi, Kartik.
I’m in the same boat. I was watching the tutorial video and followed it, but there was no Set up Rig. Epic should update the tutorial videos for UE5 beginners.

TBH im not even sure how this method works. The UE5 ThirdPerson Template comes with IK Rigs and Retargeters that seem to work well once you figure out how to set them up. The Manny to Metahuman IK retargeter works well out of the box, but If you want to Use Quinn Animations, or Animations from packs using the UE4 Mannequin, You’ll have to set up the rigs yourself.
Well, we are beginners and have no idea about it. Could you explain how to set it up, please?
Take a look at the IK Rigs that come bundled with the UE5 Templates and Metahumans.
Mannequin Rigs are under Characters → Mannequins → Rigs → IK_Mannequin
Metahuman Rig is under Metahumans → Common → Common → IK_Metahuman
There should be retargeters in the respective folders as well. If you want to use any other animation packs that use different skeletons, you’ll have to create an IK Rig for it and create the chains and goals yourself, then create an IK Retargeter for the actual animation export. For the most part, it’s just copying the settings on to the new Rig and Retargeter by hand.
This is probably a good starting point:

That’s the most I can give you at the moment, gotta go to work.
