Mixamo Animation Retargeting

Great Product, I bought it and I see that my new mixamo character’s skeleton is now like the ue4 one… I do have an isssue though, I want to use the new mixamo Mesh i created with the old animations from mixamo (which have all the proper root bone and ue4 compatibility there already)… i can’t seem to make the new mesh use the old skeleton’s animation bp… i have done this for other characters to all use one skeleton and animations but they were all from the same period when mixamo still had compatibility for ue4… could the problem be because this doesnt change the name of the retargetted skeleton’s bones to the ue4 default bone names???

Hi! The plugin allows you to do “Animation Retargeting” (see Animation Retargeting in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.3 Documentation, Using Retargeted Animations in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.3 Documentation, https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Animation/RetargetingDifferentSkeletons/) of Mixamo assets to Unreal Engine 4 ones, i.e. it allows you to share animations between Mixamo and UE4 characters. It doesn’t change bone names or other stuff (they are not needed for Animation Retargeting) and doesn’t help to share animations between different Mixamo characters (only Mixamo <-> UE4). Your original animations on the retargeted character will not be affected and will continue to work as before. After the retargeting, you must use the standard UE4 pipeline to work with the retargeted assets (see links before).

I suspect the problem is “before” using our plugin (our plugin will allow you to apply UE4 animations to your new Mixamo character for example - or apply Mixamo animations to your UE4 characters). Does your new Mixamo character (without modifying it with our plugin) works with your old animations?
