I just finally found this video. Thanks you sooo much, Ive been pulling my hair out for days from other videos and your older series where I couldnt finish the animblueprint. or characters that were all messed up once animations applied. For the first time in 2 weeks I was able to get my character to move around the map!
Fantastic tutorial! I was able to do this over the span of an hour (including a few mistakes here and there on my own part) and have a character that walks and runs. Very cool. Now I just have to learn all 9 million other things to do in UE. Thank you!
Omg, thank you so much! I develop in Unity but felt my new project could benefit from Unreal but I'd tried and failed in the past to understand/navigate the UI. This worked perfectly, thank you!
Hi! It's my very first tutorial on UE4, your explanations are very clear to understand although English isn't my native language. Very nice job. Thanks.
This was useful but im having trouble finding any tutorials on adding more than a walk/run animation. Any plans for videos on how to set up more animations than this?
Thank you for your 1.speak speed very slowly and clearly for non English-speaking countries even me can understand what you say 2.record again the old one do not working then I found you have recorded new one for 2019 its helpful thank you very much
Hey i have followed your tutorial exactly twice but when I open a blend space, it shows the skeleton tree but no asset details panel? I cant find any reason why there would not be one?
Great tutorial!. Can i use my gamepad controller with the mixamo animations instead of using a keyboard in ue4?. And can I bind my keyboard keys to the game controller?.
Hay any chance of making additional video how to add the jump animation to all this you've previously made? I need it for my project but i dont know how to do it, your tuts are very nice and easy to follow. Thanks and keep up a good work.
When I click on Character_AnimBP, I do not have a Final Animation. I have "Try Get Pawn Owner" and "Event Blueprint Update Animation" and cannot add a "State Machine".
I cant import the animation to my character which has the default skeleton... please send help, the error message is: Mesh contains root bone as root but animation doesn't contain the root track. Import failed.
with the default unreal skeleton it has a ROOT bone on it all you need to do is download a version without it or remove it in blender and it should work
Hey there. Thanks for that. Can you maybe show up (with the right fbx settings) a blender -> Mixamo - > UE4 workflow? I guess mixamo messed up flat shaded into smooth shaded meshes.
Ok so I got everything to work. Did the same tests you did in preview animator but once I connect to my mesh and proceed to walk I get nothing. Stuck in the idle animation. Any ideas? Also the AI seeking robots I have built from your last tutorial can no longer find me now.
This tutorial seems to be aimed at putting animations onto the player controlled character. What areas do I need to adjust so it works on an non-player controlled character?
Great video but why would the animations work in the Anim Preview Editor but not when I play the game? The Idle animations plays but doesn't transition to running etc
Thanks so much! This is the first tutorial that worked for me. Just wondering how'd I add a jump animation into the blend space? It seems that direction only covers left and right, thanks
Hello, I have imported a pianist character from Mixamo models into Unreal Engine 4. But, I am not OK with the angles of the arms and totally the posture of the character. Is there any way to recorrect these issues manually?
this is very good video but when I made project for mobile/tablet not desktop I can't change mesh of third person character and all options is disabled(on 23:43).you have same problem or this is bug on my ue4 version(4.22.1)
Hey Luke. Any chance you could do a video on how to retarget from Mixamo using the UE4 third person template?? It seems that the Unreal export FBX feature has been removed from Mixamo. Which in turn means that a bunch of bones dont work, and swapping out your mesh and generating retargeted meshes is broken. Any help would be great cheers
@@DeltaDan2002 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! This is the solution :) And if you're doing the character and animation as 2 separate files, select Unity for both of them
Great tutorial.. can you make a video of how to make jumping and perhaps any other animations like crouching too? I saw you had a jumping video but new vid with that old one doesn't seem to make sense with a different layout.. and idk i barely learned much watching this lol x_x
Hi - did you have any luck going from 'Fuse CC' to UE4 - I am trying to do this (with or without blender) so I can save the cloth separately. But I have not found a way for this, It seems like I can get Mixamo characters (with cloth) but then some of the morph targets are lost - and the morph target are also lost going through Blender (+getting all the animations throug blender is also a huge undertaking) . In short is there a smooth way of doing that?
Hello! I am trying to do the same thing but using another character (not the character which the player controlls) that almost works but the character dont get the right direction. I use "Try Get Pawn Owner" instead of "Get Player Character"
But what if i want to add an animation for backing up? This only calculates positive velocity, it doesn't give me negative values for when i want to map backwards movement.
now make a video on setting up the entire blend space as well as making multiple different animation blueprints so that they can switch between parkour, combat and what not
I imported some characters but they were deformed, so I tried the same character you imported and it was imported and it was imported, but applying any animation made it deformed. I did the exact same steps you did all the way. Importing Dreyer's skin to the TPS example map and he's huge and need to be scaled down. Are you skipping something?
Thanks for making an updated video on the subject. However, I still have the same issues as before, warning messages regarding bones not weighted exceeding a maximum count of 8, etc. When I open the skeleton, the face is messed up. I tried several characters, always the same problem What am I doing wrong?
Hi! Wonderful video thank you for this. Can we also import a character that we animated in a 3D software which doesn't have the same rig with Mixamo and even maybe not a humanoid rig and still set it for the third person movements. Still the character will have idle run and jump animations and will be exported as fox format same as Mixamo. Thanks.
I followed your tutorial exactly as you showed, but when I play the animation, the character is squashed and halfway through the ground. Not sure what I’ve done wrong
In the movement state I get a message at the blendspace node (this node is not using any blueprintcalls to update its data). I've done it three times and get the same result each time.
I want to learn rootmotion, how it works for our character, because when I was using mixamo character for rootmotion, my character was shaking when I enable rootmotion.
For anyone having the same problem that me(you can see the teeth and bad texture in general), try changing the blend mode in every material created for the character, from translucent to opaque.
Hi Virtus! I love your videos! Can you tell me if everything you did in this video applies equally to characters and character animations downloaded from The Epic Marketplace? Thank you so much, and keep up the terrific work! 🤓
My animations keep going ahead of the speed then loop again back to its original spot where I need it and idk how to fix it. I’m assuming it goes wrong at the animation blending part
Do you have any tutorials on using a custom character rather than downloading one? Or is it a case of just setting up the T-Pose yourself and then the rest follows suit? - Actually figured out. If you upload a custom character and then download any animation "WITH SKIN" you get mesh, materials and skeleton all working fine as your default. Then do your rest without skin as normal.
How can I find what I need, help pls! for example, get Velocity then calculate speed then get rotation then getdirection? and vector length is the speed not that clear this is not really intuitive, please help me out, to find it in ue4 documentation, because this is not that simple to find it, compared to getpaw /get player controller or so
In the last UE4 Live Stream, he did a wonderful job explaining it. I agree it's not a Virtus tutorial, but you're getting the information you want anyway. Here's the link with the timestamp (not uploaded on YT yet but it's still on twitch) www.twitch.tv/videos/358323993?t=00h38m54s
if u still need help, find your material for the characther u imported, it should have a green underline on the icon, double click it to open, on the left side there is a tab called material and then blend mode, change the blend mode to masked and hit apply, hope this helps
Pro tip:
At 22:46 in the calculate direction.u can right click and click on to covert to function and then connect it with 3rd person character and set
Thank you so much I've been looking for so many tutorials and none of them worked but this one did thanks again!

Thank you, it works perfectly
This tutorial seems to be aimed at putting animations onto the player controlled character. What areas do I need to adjust so it works on an non-player controlled character?
It's done the same way, it's just that the character is controller by AI instead or a script of your own.

What do you do if the animation doesn’t have the option to be locked in place?
Generally it will have the option unless the animation itself doesn't actual move.
