@Parents3alray2 so with my mecha models, the mixamo DOES work but it can't weight paint properly to save its life. So like things deformed as the model moved where it should have stayed rigid. This method works well on characters who don't have a lot of pieces that stick out from their bodies, like a simple halo spartan no problem. But yeah it's good! Just doesn't work on EVERY model out there. For other models you'll just have to make your own control rig, which isn't too hard to do.
I understand I can use this for body rig. But what about face rig and animation? Any solution mixing with this for that? I need answers please, I’m new to unreal
yeeeah I'm trying the plugins both in and next to the content folder with both .3 and .4 and even gone back and created a new blueprint project and c++ project, it only shows when pasting inside the content folder, and then still only shows an icon but no rig - are there any other plugins that need installing at all or anything we're missing because alot of people are having the same issue
Thank god because I was having this problem. I’m on a MacBook Pro and I’ve done step by step and it hasn’t worked. I can’t even create the plugins folder like he did. I’m on 5.4.4
Ok, might have a solution for you. Double check your bone naming structure. I noticed his bone names were just things like "hips", "spine", and "spine1". However the naming convention I get out of Mixamo has a prefix on those names (something like "mixmorig_hips"). Once I removed all the prefixes from the bone names, the plugin worked perfectly. I could not find a way to batch rename bones in Unreal, but in Cinema4D there is a "Name" tool that lets you do simple batch renameing operations. I would hope blender (or whatever you might use would have something similar). Hope that works.
@@richardkes I did it out of maximo in the t-pose (original). It worked for one character. Another I had to fix the height in blender and then do the static t-pose. However I do have one character that no matter what I have tried the gizmos stays on the ground. So it's a half fix
@@richardkes 2 X 3rd party characters and one from the UE store. The one from the UE store is the one I can't get to happen even with going back out to blender then mixamo
Does it work in Unreal 5.5? If I move the arms (FK and IK) the arm behaves properly but the fingers stay in the same place wich makes the fingers stretch.

Hi. Do you know any good solution to walk character in slope terrain? When i add my character to sequencer and add walk animation i cant resolve problem with walk on sloping terrain.
hey Josh, I'm following the steps for this video. I downloaded my rigged character with a walking animation from mixamo, I checked the in-place animation. Now that I imported the fbx to UE. when I place the skeleton with the walking animation in the sequencer, the character walks but stays in place. Is there a way to make the character to walk forward? or do I download the same walking animation without the "in-place" checkbox from Mixamo? Thanks a lot for your amazing videos!
Do you think this is compatible with Motion Matching? It would smooth out the transitions from one animation to the next and, hopefully, remove any stuttering. I love your videos and would love to see something covering Motion Matching
Thank you for the package, but honestly, there are too many keys, and they are practically uneditable. What do you suggest, dear josh? Is there any method or solution for this?
If you are taking premade animations and trying to adjust them, use the 'additive' track method he shows in the video. This allows you to make adjustments or additions to the animation without touching the underlying keyframes
Tried this on UE4 Manny and on a couple other ue marketplace assets and it hasn't worked on any of them (the controls are all at floor level and don't control the model at all)... any suggestions there?

You need to paste the plugin next to your Content folder, not inside your Content folder. Pause during the installation instructions and you'll get it working!
@@JoshToonenfollowed the same instructions and still same thing. Plug-ins is next to the content folder Edit: I followed the instructions the same way you explained it. Did not work however I saved everything and restarted the engine, loaded up my project and it appeared at the bottom as you’ve shown in the video. I hope this helps anyone who might be experiencing this issue

I mean mixamo is nice and all, but wow did it ever destroy my character when I tried to import it. (It did not like the skirt) Now to be fair, I'm using a vroid made character (so a .vrm file) so I could use something else but yeah... This one click thing seemed so nice and convenient.＾＾
A lot of the reason mixamo messes with models is due to weight painting. You can fix the weight paints after bringing the Mixamo model back into your modeling program. Or you can tweak the model to leave off things like helmets and stuff that mess with weight paints and then add those accessories back to the rigged model.

Ah man I had no idea you could use constraints with a control rig! That's so helpful!
Is there going to be a new version that comes out to work with 5.5 or should this still work with 5.5?

I've tried this with multiple characters exported from Maximo and the control rig/gizmos are all at ground level instead of the limbs like at 7:05
I am having the same issue
Just Solved it. Export from Mixamo the character without an animation. So it is just in the T-Pose. That worked for me

Amazing i subbed
I wonder why people speak about animation without saying of lip sync. Is animation only body movement?
Is this updated for 5.5?
Do you think the new update for the 5.5 version will be release soon ?
¿Would it be compatible with reallusion cc control rig?
Can I use this with the auto rig pro rig ?
Hey, I tried to do this with a character from sketch fab that was .Gltf but I wasn’t able to make it work. What is the process for that?
This plugin work only for mixamo armature. So you have to send your character to mixamo and rigging in mixamo and import to unreal.
nice bro!

This is my curiosity. Is 16GB Ram enough to use Unreal Engine 5?
Depends what you want to do inside UE. If you're rendering for example, you want as much GPU VRAM as possible.

Same issue every 1 should include both body and face mocap it's a prob
So basically this is a rig to add "post mocap"?

And this doesn't work with character which has non standard proportions.
