Importing Character with animation from FAB doesn't seem to be importing animation correctly

Hi,

I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong. I cannot reproduce this issue with some animations but then some others have this issue.

Steps:

1- Created a new project (does it’s type matter?)
2- Opened Fab plugin window and selected a character and added it to project.
3- Import seems to be successful. I can add it to project even though its scale is 100 times bigger.
4- Double clicked Animation file (zombie_snapper_Anim) file to open it. The animation look like this

If I manually download Fbx file and add it to project, it still has same issue even though I can open it in Blender and all animations are fine.
Animations are shown correctly in Fab too.
This happened for another animation imported from blender too (using FBX file) but doesn’t happen for a different Fbx file and both show correct animations in blender (in fact, the animations look same on both characters and appears to be imported from mixamo)


If I add another character to same project its animations are all fine.

Question:
1- What I’m doing wrong?
2- Is there a specific process that I should take to fix the animations? Any document, tutorial?

Hello there @BSarmady!

For this scenario, please test reverting Unreal import options to default. Also, if your current project was on a previous version of Unreal, and its now updated to 5.5, settings from the previous build could also be causing a conflict. In order to fully reset them, please search for DefaultGame.ini file, open it wirh a notepad, and delete all settings under the header [/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]

Following that, perform the re-import with “Preserve local transforms” checked. Additionally, from Blender, check your export options, and set “Simplify” to 0 (found in the Animation category). These changes should result in a clean import from Blender to Unreal. Hope this helps!

There is no import option when adding from FAB to project. This issue happens on both Import FBX and Add to project.
However it sometimes happens on other fbx files too.

Project was not updated, it is still on 5.4 and started on 5.4 too.

Unfortunately Question and feedback sections are removed and Fab does not have them, I guess I need to contact developer of the model
