Hi there,
I am currently developing in 5.5.4 and wanted to know how to do animations efficiently in it. I am using metahumans so would need full face and body animations.
Does it make sense to use livelink in 5.5.4 or create a new project in 5.7 and then export animations to 5.5.4? Is that even possible?
i would recommend not to migrate from latest version to 5.5.4 as there have been improvements in newer version which might not work in the lower ones. Either work the metahumans in your version itself or update the whole project to latest version
I had to retarget all animations & update all metahumans with 5.6. Old skeleton makes them deformed (unless I made something wrong when upgrading my project). Make a backup and do a test upgrade. For me it was a lot of work.
New metahuman system is nice with outfits and all, but yeah make sure to backup in case you run into the same situation as me having to convert everything. All the old metahuman BPs got deformed (also avoid moving stuff out of the Common folder structucre, that introduced various bugs for me).
I tried migrating from 5.5.4 to 5.6 and had a complete mess. Metahumans that could not move and completely broke.
Did you make animations in 5.6 and then try migrating to 5.5? Did that work?
