Issues Changing Character and Retargeting in Lyra with UE5.3.2

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to change the default character in the Lyra Starter Game project using Unreal Engine 5.3.2. I’ve imported a custom character ) and want to retarget it to work with Lyra’s animations and systems.

The issue is that I can’t get the retargeting or character replacement to work properly. I’ve followed several tutorials and standard steps (IK Retargeter, skeleton adjustments, etc.), but nothing seems to work. There are no specific errors — the character either doesn’t change, or it appears but doesn’t use the animations correctly.

Has anyone experienced this issue with UE5.3.2 and Lyra? Any solutions or workarounds that actually work in this version?

Thanks in advance!
