Mixamo Animations Retargeting problem, wrong rotation root motion

Don’t switch. I guess the Mixamo Character has a different pivot setup when it switches, but on imported UE4 corrects this for the Mixamo asset, but does not account for it when you switch to the UE4 Mannequin. Thus, import the animation extra for the UE4 ThirdPerson Character, you’ll have 2 different sword and shield animations, both imported. Not entirely sure, it might also be that you have to restart the editor. Btw i use 4.10.4 edition, there might be also some changes which may apply. But good that you got it now working for the new character. But basically root motion setting from Mixamo do not work when set in UE4, because of the different location of the root bone. This may be factored in when you import something from Mixamo, but does not effect UE4. When I use root motion on characters not from UE4, not from Mixamo, they loose grounding, during AI navigation, because of the root bone issue.

I wish there would be 1 standard for poses and bones which could be established, or more options for retargeting and importing. Currently retargeting of Mixamo animations screws up the UE4 arms…

I got it! But the main problem is that I dont want to use the fuse character haha, I have another main character but the same issue with the ue4 manequin happens. I will continue my research and update here!

The issue from the twisted arms I solved using the Skeleton transition instead animation, only the root and pelvis is set on animation scale and everything works fine (and I’m picky with ugly animations), only the forward movement animations is my problem, If I retarget I loss the forward movement, If I import directly from FBX and activate root motion the char flips, mixamo need to get a little better I think!
