I followed a tutorial where they added a root bone to the Mixamo skeleton to fix export issues, and in the IK Retargeter everything looks fine – the animations play as expected.
However, after I export the retargeted animations and assign them to my Skeletal Mesh, the character appears lying face-down on the ground during playback. The animation is playing, but the character’s position and orientation seem completely off.
I tried rotating the root bone, and even the pelvis (hips) bone, but the exported animation still results in the character lying on the ground.
I’m wondering – is there something I’m missing during export or retarget setup?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
