How do I copy bones from first skeleton and paste it to second skeleton?

You’d have to export both your skeletal meshes to FBX (if you don’t have the source files) and set up your first skeleton on your second mesh in a modelling software.

it’s a rigging process but it’s easy for you since you have the main Skelton

On 3D software do the following :
1 - match the 2 models
2- make a skin for the new mesh
3- copy skin weight from the original model to the new model
4- make some adjustments if needed
5- import the new skeleton mesh to unreal engine

Hope this helpful

thanks for that, but I am looking for a pipeline without using a third party program, is that possible?

It’s not possible at the moment

oh, is that 100% info? there is no point for me now to look for solutions inside ue5?

I have never seen someone rig a model inside unreal engine

Rigging is traditionally done in a modelling software. One day Epic may add this to the tool set, but you’re better off with learning how to do it in software like Blender or finding someone who can do it for you.
