This issue has been plaguing me ever since I’ve started learning about root motion:
I have created a character in Reallusion Character Creator, and animated it with a simple straight walk cycle in iClone7, from which I exported it to Unreal to use with root motion. When importing the walk cycle in Unreal, the character does not move in a straight line, but rather it veers off with a small angle, causing it to straight further and further (see screenshot).
I have observed this behavior with every animation imported in UE4, from both Mixamo and iClone, as well as Maya. I have also tried to clean up my skeleton from all extra bones that sometimes iClone adds to provide support for weapons and other props, and I have also edited animation keys in Maya and re-exported the FBX, no no avail.
This of course affects also turning animations, making it impossible to put together the simplest set of motions for my character. I have scoured the web for a solution and came up with nothing that would be relevant to my scenario. If anybody has any idea what I might be doing wrong and how to fix it, I’d be REALLY grateful!
