UEFN Skeleton Retargeting Broken after Update

General Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

UEFN Retargetting is broken. I used to make custom animations in my maps retargetting Mixamo’s animations, but now it just doesn’t work anymore. First, it is not able to figure the chains automatically, I needed to create an IK rig to to auto create it. But even using an IK Retargeter the result was the same. Only the head moves, and the body remains static.

Quite annoying. I am waiting for this fix, like many others, to continue my project. I wish they would acknowledge the issue, of at least provide an update. If we need to believe the bug reporter it’s still in some queue waiting around.

It seems to be something related to the export itself.
When running from the retargeter, it works fine.

In another thread it’s been added to the ‘to do’ list. Fingers crossed it’s going to be fixed in the update next week.

Hello, thanks for reporting this.

While this has been tricky to reproduce on my end, I found an issue that causes the same problem (only 1 or 2 bones are retargeted). So I believe I have found the problem.

The fix for it has been submitted and will be released in 33.30. Thanks for your patience.

FORT-831505 is ‘Ready for QA’. A fix has been submitted and QA needs to verify it worked.

It is still not working after todays update. in the retargeter the animation looks good. but when exported the fn mannequin is just standing still with his head slightly moving
