Hi, I’m a beginner of UE5. I got some retargeted animations of my character following steps in official documentation. They look perfect in preview, both animation sequence and blend space. But in PIE, the legs of my character are frozen when running, even with all other parts of the body moving co…

Alright, I’ve found the problem. It went well after I used the ABP from UE4 Mannequin. There must be a mismatch between my skeleton and the new version blueprint. Though I don’t know what it is. Now I can carry on with my project. Thank you again!

Hello YifanDaniel, It seems you are missing speed, then the blend is nor working well [image]

Thank you for your reply Alberto. Sorry I didn’t explain it clearly. My character is moving forward when PIE. It’s only the problem of animation. The arms are waving but the legs are not. Same thing is happening when jumping. The legs are in an unnatural posture. It’s working well in all of the pr…

Hey Alberto, sorry for this late reply. Thanks for all these details! But I did retarget my ABP following these steps. And today I tried to modify my IK Rig excluding some of the bones that seemed needless to me. Retargeted, and failed. And I repeated retargeting in another project to see if there…
