Hello! Relatively new to Unreal. Having trouble retargetting animations between two meshes I created in Blender.
Some context: I created my own hands in Blender. I exported the left and right hand separately. This worked great but ran into an issue later. I had idle animations on each hand separately and they would drift and become offset after some time. I met with another Unreal dev who said the best way to address this would be to combine the 2 separate hand meshes into 1 mesh, so I did that.
Now I’d like to retarget the animations from the separate hands to the new combined hands.
I created a custom IK retargetter, and made IK rigs for the separate hands and the combined hands.
The retarget of the animations works great, but I need to apply the initial pose I do with the hands during the retargetting. I created a pose asset of the combined hands in the initial state I’d like them to be in, but as soon as I apply the pose the target no longer moves the same.
Can anyone help? Would truly appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction.
