Mixamo Animation Retargeting

[UNAmedia]

@Wranglerltg

Hello,

I went thought he process of taking a Mixamo rigged model and bringing it into UE for use with out UE animations. I didn’t have any animations to bring over from Mixamo so I essentially stopped once the skeleton had been re-targeted and the default pose changed.

I exported my re-targeted character to another on my team and was told he would need to adjust it a bit to get it to work with our animations. Should not the re-targeted be fully compliant with UE animations?

My question is this, without the animations verify the re-targeting was successful how I can easily tell the skeleton has been properly re-targeted for UE?

Thanks for the info in advance.

Hi,

what do you mean by “I exported my re-targeted character to another”? I’m not sure you can export outside UE4 the retargeted FBX skeleton, as the retargeting options that the plugin modifies are UE4 specifics (i.e. the underlying skeleton is not modified). In general, after you have applied the plugin on a Mixamo model, if you have an existing UE4 animation then you can retarget it (the UE4 animation) to the modified Mixamo model. The retargeting is then computed by the UE4 editor using the informations computed by the plugin. You can see it at time 2:50 in this video: ?t=2m50s (I suggest to look at all the video).

cheers.
