Thanks bud! Glad it helped

Glad it helped!

Yep! Mad as heck. I clean up the actions for exporting FBX and make a single action so you are left with a single action when using in Unreal.

Is your rest pose T or A?

@@DigitalFashionClass i exported the A pose one

Share a downloadable link to your file and tell me which Mixamo animation you used. I’ll make a video about the solution.

You’re so welcome!

Thank you! Glad it was useful.

Thank you! Glad it was helpful. Those armatures can be crazy sometimes:)

Couple things- make Blender frame rate same as the exported character.- make the duration of timeline longer- check “blender file” drop-down in the outliner and be sure an action exists there. - be sure you’re in object mode- try these things.

@@DigitalFashionClass thank you so much! may god bless you

You’re welcome!

You’re welcome. Are you using Marvelous Designer or Clo3D?

@@DigitalFashionClass I use Marvelous Designer 12 Personal

I had this with Clo- be sure your’re using the most recent plugin and update MD. Otherwise it hangs and nothing happens. Also, be sure MD is saved, in simulation mode, and not currently simulating.

Congrats! Good news. Glad to hear it. Please share my channel🙏

It’s bc the Mixamo file was not set to “in place”. The avatar moves away from origin. So when set to repeat it goes back to origin. Use “in place” OR watch my video here- th-cam.com/video/BAF2IeC0bFQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=miSfH99QpjAhmJDS

@@DigitalFashionClass Thanks Alot now my animation is complete thanks alot😁😁😁😁

You’re very welcome friend!

Should be the same amount of key frames. Just combined into 1 NLA. Be sure to delete the leftover actions and avatars in “blender file”. Watch my video on the workflow for Unreal Engine: th-cam.com/video/fqKKARTGjQA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=r98Q9wa96XkX3uUP

@@DigitalFashionClass It will be for Unity tho, thanks!

Thank you! The process is explained in this video I made- th-cam.com/video/fqKKARTGjQA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ty7q5zDuKnM3ivEn

You are very welcome! Happy to give back. Your project looks great so far.

​@@DigitalFashionClass Thanks! Quick question: In my animation, it starts smoothly from the middle but when I go back before the start, it teleports to a random point, like if u were to start from 10 and then u go shift to before 10 it will just tp to another location. I think it's where I initially placed it. Any idea why this is happening? Sorry for all the questions!

Do what I did in the video and insert a key frame for position at the beginning and the end that’s in the same place.

@NoClassNoProblem basically i did i also did another from scratch but it also had the same problem 😅 like i had started it from a bit more behind i will try again tho thx

I have not changed any UDIMs or my UVs. Didn’t need to. Livesync’s power is in transferring animated sequences with cloth sims made in Clo/MD at very low file sizes. You can cloth sim elsewhere saving as Alemic files but those are huge. Livesync eliminates that problem.

I should add that displacement maps need to be reconnected and some of my normal maps don’t always transfer 1 to 1.

@@DigitalFashionClass got it, thanks a bunch!

Post a link to your Blender file and fbx files. I’ll download and solve (maybe) Then post video on how to do it.

@@DigitalFashionClass that works too i will post my project with all the blunders at once thx btw

@@DigitalFashionClass also do u have discord or something i can send u there if thats good otherwise i will post a download link

Glad to hear that! Let me know if there’s any content you’d like to see more of.

Glad it was helpful!

If you give some more detail perhaps I can help.

I’ve not had success with that. Best option is to follow my other knitwear video for Clo using displacement maps.

Yes

You’re very welcome!

Ha! 😂

Solidify modifier is awesome!

How did u fix it?

@@oni3910 DId you found a way to fix it?

How did you fix same error here

I’m not sure. CLO has to be open. Also be sure those other settings I covered in your project settings are enabled.

Love it!

If all NLAs are set to “Nothing” and it still happens then try selecting just that action, open dope sheet>action editor then make the key frame changes there. Then click the X in the action editor to save. It’s in o e of my other videos about Blender and Unreal.

Blender to Unreal: Cloth Simulation with Alembic file [Full tutorial] th-cam.com/video/fqKKARTGjQA/w-d-xo.html

Super interesting. If you download your Mixamo animation without a skin, it will default revert back to T-Pose regardless if you are starting with an A-Pose. If you're starting with an A-Pose, you would then download your animation always "With Skin".

Great suggestion! Another way is to install CATS add-on. Process is longer BUT you can change to any pose and set as the “rest” pose - github.com/absolute-quantum/cats-blender-plugin. Also- be sure to check your rest pose on frame 0 or go to armature tab and click “rest”.

@@DigitalFashionClass Nice, yeah that looked like a pretty cool plugin. I'll use that as well. Something else that I found that causes the model to scale up suddenly and rotate back is if your mesh is made up of multiple, unjoined pieces. I think Mixamo prefers that the mesh is one joined piece.

It does. If you don’t want to join them you can also parent then assign each unjoined mesh to a vertex group.

@@DigitalFashionClass Do you happen to have a video on your process of exporting an NLA animation to another Blender project?

Glad you’re here! More videos to come in early June. Stand by!

@@DigitalFashionClass Can’t wait!! Thank you!

Thanks! I have not tested 5.4 yet. What happened?

@@DigitalFashionClass Thanks for getting back to me!! I got a message saying it's not compatible with UE.4. Is there any way you can make a tutorial on importing a single mixamo animation with T/A pose to Marvelous Designer? Is it the same process as your other video?

For UE.5.3

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll test it soon. Guessing a new plugin download from Clo is due. The process is actually the same as my other video. Make sure to give yourself about 10 seconds overlap in Blender NLA for the T/A pose transition.

@@DigitalFashionClassI will look over it. I look forward to your tutorials!! Thanks 😄

You're welcome!

So I just ran this animation with a complex garment too. Once it animated in Clo then you should be set. Leave the particle distance at 20 and use layers. Got my poly count down to around 500,000 for the garment. The stuck at 20% problem persists if Clo is not in Simulation mode (simulate off)

@@DigitalFashionClass sadly i tried everything, but the poly count even at 30 particle distance is around 6.8 millions. And yes i also make sure im not simulating when importing

Man, that’s a lot of polys. Not sure this will help but an idea is to export individual parts if you could possibly animate/simulate separately. Then you can parent them back together in Unreal. Of course your collisions will need to be adjusted. So thing like a skirt and a top could be exported separately without much trouble. Hope that helps you.

Oh gotcha. That makes sense. It’s probably the IK. Thanks for sharing this.

To solve this problem you just have to download the mixamo model with the skin

Thanks! I’m making a video that answers this. Coming this week. However, here’s my best answer: export the avatar without a rig as FBX, upload to Mixamo, select the animation, download, import to Clo or MD, add clothing, simulate/ run animation, save, then live sync.

You’re very welcome! Pls share what you’re making. Love to see the results.

You're welcome!

My experience was that I had to save the geometry cache, then go back to Clo, then go back to Unreal and finally it would bring up the save location. It definitely takes a few minutes for it to bring up the save location.

When you’re in the viewport editor, click the letter “I” and it will bring up keyframe options.

@@DigitalFashionClass thank you

I’m not sure. The textures and materials got assigned to the skeletal mesh and there could be options when you save that which need to be checked on. I will need to look further into this and get back. If you solve it please let us know!

Actually on mac I don't have the windows option on project settings Could you help me please?

Try: 1. Be sure BOTH plug-ins are copied to the Market folder and are unzipped. 00:55 2. Plug-ins are enabled 01:29 3. Restart and be sure Clo is open first.

Hi there, did you manage to get it to work on Mac? I've tried multiple things but I still don't have the option of Clo3D in Window ..

@@corentinalbugues9313 im also having this issue

@@DigitalFashionClass how do you find the market folder on a mac?

You are so welcome!

Ok, I’ll make a video. But the main reason for the twisted arms is that your original model had an A pose (check by going to frame 0 and click reset pose). You’re trying to map a T pose to and A pose or vice versa…. I’ll make a video😂. It’ll make more sense.

Here's a video on how to fix your crossed arms problem. Hope it's helpful th-cam.com/video/wc3HZYVkU_w/w-d-xo.html

I’ve not encountered Unreal closing, but I did have to update. Are you running 5.3? When it closes, do the geometry cache files remain in your content drawer?
