Retargetting Animations

Development Programming & Scripting
1

Hello,

i have had a lot of success with this until now. I brought in this stormtrooper asset and was able to get some basic animations retargetted accurately off of UE5 Manny.

Then I tried to retarget this rifle firing animation and my stormtrooper was leaning back.
While previewing this rifle animation here, I was able to use the transform keys to kind of get it to look the way I want it to look. But now how to I make it stick? there is no save option.

Or maybe this is not the place to be doing this ?

Thanks for any assistance.

Looks like you are previewing the skeletal mesh. Instead, you should select the animation you want first.
Then 2. From the skeleton tab, select the bone you want to modify
3. Set a Key for the modified bone. If you can’t see the “Set Key” because of a small screen, it’s hidden inside the 3 arrows as shown in the screenshot below.
