WARNING: Unreal Engine 4 is not as easy to use, as Unity or Garry’s Mod!!! This is a very young game engine, with lots of features that are “Work In Progress”. UE4 in-game animation retargeting is imprecise and problematic! The feet slide, root motion doesn’t retarget properly and there are huge problems with characters of different size. I can’t stress this enough – this is really not like Unity, where every animation works on every model, just like that.

“I am completly new to game development and UE4…”
If you are new to gamedev or UE4, PLEASE, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING.
WHERE are these warings in the Market Place in the Game Launcher.
It seems from this statement:
I have a ton of e-mails a week from beginner devs, that say the retargeting in UE4 doesn’t work as advertised. This is not my fault and I can’t do anything about it.
With it being advertised the way it is. It seems it would leave a bad taste and may effect future purchases from the Market Place.
I bought the pistol animset pro because I was too lazy to make the aim offset my self, and that worked well but some of the blendspaces are not set up properly for ue4, I was hoping he would update this but seeing these comments, Im not hopeful now, I would assume his new pack doesn’t all work properly with the standard epic skel like pistol animset pro, I got 3/4 of promised functionality out of it
Well as a consumer you would want to go down to S-Mart and buy off the shelf but as a developer you would want to purchase what would be considered as raw stock to use as a ingredient in the making of you own cakes and pies so as said if your new to games development don’t buy anything as most assets are not off the shelf ready to wear.
As for the Rifle AnimSet Pro it’s an excellent package that not only contains the primary movements but stops and starts and includes the Motion Builder and FBX source files. A couple of hours of work of this and that and the animations were retargeted to a much smaller player model using our own custom rigging so in this case the set is nothing more than a bag of flower.
