THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I made this work in older version but in 5.3 other parts are not moving. I searched a lot and I'm really glad I found this video. Thank you so much for saving my sanity! new subscriber :D
I love your voice!!!! Everything about this video is absolutely mindblowingly to the point! As a beginner in ue5 this really helps me a ton! After trying numerous ways including building a new IK retargeter and trying to set root and set all the different bones through (New from selected), or even trying to do so using motion capture data with no success.. (My character was floating with all animations not like the manny..) I'm sure that now ill be able to do just fine thanks to you! You are underrated!!!
This was really amazing. It's so hard sometimes when people who make tutorials have been using UE for a long time, and don't know all the new things that it can do.
I understand your pain Rick. In general it's a bit challenging to find good sources to learn just because it's a relatively new tool and it's always evolving.
Hey. If it's minor adjustments while retargeting, you don't use this method I show here. Please take a look at the retargeting from mixamo animations to see the process. In the process of fully retargeting you can adjust the bones to make it look better. That's as far I know but I am in no way an expert animator.
Actually you just need to do the step at 4:59 till 5:39, you dont need to do anything else and the animations will be there on cinematics/Animation tab. ;)
Hey, yeah version changes always create some issues. It's a bunch of free animations. I used them in my other video on adding custom animations to the metahuman.
While in the editor the metahuman stands in the animation pose but with no movement so I assume the retargeting worked. When I press play the metahuman goes back to a T-pose though. Do you know what it could be or what i could troubleshoot otherwise? New to anims, thanks!
Hey, so this video was just to be able to add a custom idle animation. If you want to be able to move your character around as a main character, take a look at this video : th-cam.com/video/etS7Wb223CA/w-d-xo.html
Hello Unreal Engine version 5.2.1 I can't change BlendSpace 1D. Third person BP character on BlendSpace how to replace a BlendSpace 1D character WITH BlendSpace THANK YOU
@@SipAndCode7 Did you make a video on it? I'm trying to figure it out and struggling as well. If you havent do you have a quick bullet point list on how to do it?
Can you do tutorial on how to make metahuman our player character? cant seem to find tutorial that actually works well. i end up with some parts animating and others dont.... and also there is hand skelet problem usually
@@SipAndCode7 Oh man ! that would be great!!! cant wait. importing mesh of metahuman to my character is weirdly problematic, and no proper videos about it, and believe me i searched.
hi, i m using metahuman chatbot, the animation is ok, but when it talk, the body move but the head is detached, is because my meta is med size? maybe need to use tall?
Hi, It is hard for me to debug this just from the comment. However just know that metahumans have face animations and body animations. Those two are separate and sometimes a freeze happens on the face if there is no animation defined for it. I did make this video on having a conversation with a metahuman if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/TBdkalS4-io/w-d-xo.html
yes i understand, i follow the SDK tutorial so i have a meta with a chat widget, the meta jump in loop when you play, but when she reply trhough google voice the body jump but the head move the lips but is in a blocked position, it s week that i search for a solution .-. @@SipAndCode7
Haha yeah that would be pain indeed. You don't have to them one by one. You can just choose them all using shift or Ctrl and export all the animations together. That's what I do when I have to do export.
In UE 5.4 It is now much easier to do this. Check this out if interested --> th-cam.com/video/crTAui17wyk/w-d-xo.html
I have tried several other tutorials with no success. You have done an excellent job and it works!
Thank you I'm glad it worked out for you.
An excellent example of sticking to the important details and still making it simpler for all to understand. Keep up the good work. Cheers

@@SipAndCode7 How do you adjust or edit an animation?

Glad you liked it!
Cool, thanks!
No problem!
This was brilliant. Thanks. Having a few issues doing this in 5.2, but still mostly working. Btw, what's the "Actor Package" you mentioned at the end?
Hey, yeah version changes always create some issues. It's a bunch of free animations. I used them in my other video on adding custom animations to the metahuman.
amazing
Thank you
Thanks a lot

Awesome! How can we add it in sequencer?
Here for sequencer: th-cam.com/video/EftBbV3P84k/w-d-xo.html
Cool! I only have one problem: the actor walks in place. How can I change that?
Hey, so this video was just to be able to add a custom idle animation. If you want to be able to move your character around as a main character, take a look at this video :

perfect😀
Thanks for that. How do I add an animated character to the Sequencer for rendering?
No problem. Sure I'll show in a future video.
@chrischisholm9220 I hope that this has been resolved for you but if it hasn't here is the video for it th-cam.com/video/EftBbV3P84k/w-d-xo.html
Hello
Unreal Engine version 5.2.1
I can't change BlendSpace 1D.
Third person BP character on BlendSpace
how to replace a BlendSpace 1D character WITH BlendSpace THANK YOU
can you please tell how to export animated metahuman only without the environment
how would I make it work without hitting play. and just have it working constantly
Do you mean to make a certain animation? If it's for a game for example you could use animation blueprint instead .
Do the Paragon animation work like thos too?
Congratulations on your video. I have a problem when I try to put the animation in the sequencer. He returns to normal position
Hey, so with sequencer it's a bit different. I'll try to make a video on it.

Do we have to export or can we just use the Animations Listed? I have like 100+ I need to make work haha, so exporting 100 one by one would be a pain.
Haha yeah that would be pain indeed. You don't have to them one by one. You can just choose them all using shift or Ctrl and export all the animations together. That's what I do when I have to do export.
is that possible we export this animation to maya?
I don't know unfortunately
is it just me or theres really 20000 ways to add mocap to metahumans i so lost lol , so many ways
Thanks!
Thank you!
