Exporting from Maya is a lot more straight forward, but just in case anyone needed this video, I wanted you guys to have the information available on deck :)

Thank you!

[@amarabdul9459]

Tq very much bro

[@V6MEDIATV]

Too fast for my beginner brain

[@tonydani4824]

15 years on the interwebz, never have I seen such a good straight to the point video. Absolutely beautiful

[@Matthiasmartinez2]

I wish every tutorial could be as good and quick as this one, thanks a lot bro!

[@maychan167]

I love how quick the video is, but one thing I don't understand is how you selected each animation. Can you please share that

[@MeownaMeow]

the video started randomly in the background, i scared the shit out of me.
volume 100 : " SO YOU WANT TO EXPORT ANIMA.... "

[@hub7216]

My god and my dumb butt using alembics. Thank you

[@lisav.-test7499]

I can't check my Include Options for History, Constrains, etc. How does your FBX Exporter do that?

[@ScorgeRudess]

god

[@ronrhee9510]

This was by far the best tutorial I've seen on youtube! Thank you so much!

[@TightLifeStory]

so you see very less in your life.

It's amazing how smooth and quick I see tutorials go through this process and it never works this well for me. You make it look super easy, but I get constant errors. I have many questions....

Hello I need help for exporting my animated model from Maya to Unreal Engine. After I export and edit the animated and rigged model from Maya to Marvelous Designer (to create and edit cloth), I exported from Marvelous to Maya, and the mesh comes out with some animation but there is no rigged objects or skeletion included. I exported this to Unreal Engine with fbx and alembic file, but when I did it, the alembic file came out with different scale of character and cloth. On the other hand, the fbx file came out with same scale but the animation didn't came out what it should be. The geometry cache and animation were both checked in import setting of Unreal Engine.

He's playing rock paper scissors, but the fingers weren't animated yet lol -

[@Luciferdelight]

Could you make one on joints in Maya to bones in unreal orientation problem

[@loeckm]

Not as easy with complex facial setup.

[@xd1845]

thanks!!!

[@DoraKage]

By the way - why is the world orientation (and when importing assets as well) showing that Y is the front facing axis? But opening a default 3rd person project makes the character face the X axis face front? In the same vein - why is the default character BP set to have forward using the X axis?

[@Anuktha_]

What about textures

[@tristanbrown5497]

thank you sir

[@HeyItzScotch]

Unreal engine doesn't seem to animate anything done from my IK system legs. The upper body animates correctly but the legs stay static, am I exporting incorrectly some how?

[@DuxDrive]

If I stumble along the way, can I contact you somehow to assist me in short, from what I can see will take a minute

[@TheDudeAbides421]

[@omega1301]

how do we merge seperated animations? like the weapon and character

[@DragonNuts]

Did you ever find out?

[@omega1301]

@@DragonNuts Yes i did, you need to add the mesh to the character, if it a sword make a blueprint 1d also for it and both should play if you move

[@pocato2329]

Why not use Maya's game exporter to export skeletal mesh and animations? Far more control over your export settings with not so clustered ui.
And it's much more logical to use it if you have multiple animations in one maya file cause you can seperate your animations into different files by frames

[@JustForNowStudios]

Yeah I was disappointed in this video. Usually RoyalSkies doesn't miss.

[@sagizm0nd]

That's clearly suboptimal solution. Having animations as separate files from rigs not only allows for easy reiteration of that one broken animation without need to export all other anims. Also separate animations that do not include skinning and meshes are really small-sized and portable and easy to load.

[@samy7342]

I donno what you walking about but Ima try it

[@supamontsta8524]

Dude you're a friggn hero for this.

[@venomsnake_kh]

[@ProOga]

I made an animation in blender rigify?
how to export it to enreal?
and make a dummy retarget?

[@ElloItsSmee]

I know this isn't typical but is there a way to put my entire animation, set, lighting, camera movement, etc into unreal engine? I have an assignment but I specialise in Maya and know almost nothing on unreal 😓
