Hi, I use Unreal 5.1
I don’t know how to explain my problem. I don’t know if it’s an Unreal bug or just my lack of experience.
I created this Control Rig for this character.
It only has controls on the hands and elbows because that’s all I needed to animate.
I loaded several animations for that character in the Timeline, and then I clicked on Bake to Control Rig.
Then I could see how the body made the correct movements of the animations, and I controlled the hands and created new keys only for them.
In the end, I was able to complete the entire animation, but when I hit Play… the body becomes rigid and only the hands make the animations that I saved.
To regain the rest of the body movement, I have to disable and enable the preloaded animation, and then I can see everything fine again and it stays that way while I slide the timeline… but when I hit Play, the body becomes rigid again…
This is the Control Rig:
This is my timeline with correct pose (animation for the body and IK for hands):
And this is the timeline in the same time when I hit Play (rigid body):
I have to uncheck and check active option in track to see correct movements, but it doesn’t work when hit play.
I also tried to export the animation using the “Bake Animation Sequence” option, but it doesn’t export the hand movement. And “Bake Pose Asset” option shut down Unreal.
