Few months ago i used mixamo to get some animations for ue mannequin and it worked all fine in 2 clicks. Now i tryed to do exact the same thing and im getting a weird result in ue , all animations look like theres no root motion and they run in place though i didnt set “in place” in mixamo moreover there was no such checkbox. I tryed all kinds of exporting / importing settings and nothing works out . I even tryed to reimport the same animation i already have and it refused to work also .
Looks like the animation is meant to have root motion based on your videos. So, you want to make sure you have “root motion” enabled and “force root lock” disabled on your animation asset.
I have highlighted where the force root lock setting is in the animation asset.
I have struggled with bringing Mixamo into UE4 in the past but lately I have perfected a workflow that brings them into UE4 every time, without fail. So if you can’t get your existing animations to come in nice I recommend you go back onto Mixamo and re-download your animations. Then, use Blender and [this guy’s Mixamo to UE4 add-on][2] (I use the batch mode and don’t change a single setting from default).
I have also attached an image of the add-on running in blender with the key ui highlighted.
Hello, Terribilis studio has published a free tool to import mixamo animations with the UE4 skeleton it’s automatic easy and fast! (Root Motion work perfectly)
