Experimenting the Animation Sample project and a custom character mesh and skeleton

After the release of the animation sample project, I wanted to test how flexible/easy it would be to setup from a character with a rig hierarchy that differ from the standard Unreal base model.
I got this custom made model provided from a friend and my previous one setup in there super quick. Like roughly 1h-2h, the longest part was to get familiar with the base provided.

if you could do a tutorial on how you did that it would help me alot because i am in a loop with this problem

Hello Micaniker, actually you can do exactly the same things as he does in this video (it is from the guys who did the project)

Just skip directly around 1:30:00 and follow it from there :). His explanation are super clear, and make it step by step.
(By the way, that guy is also the guy who did the AdvancedLocomotionSystem) :)

[@phildompgamedev]

I'll think about it, however you realize that it is a sample project for Unreal right ? (since you mentioned about Unity)

Change some animations?

[@phildompgamedev]

I did not change any animations at that point, it was strictly to check how much troubles (or easy) it would be to get a custom character mesh in there
