Epic wouldn't be Epic if everything worked right away.

@habagun737 3 часа назад

Thank you! But how to set it as the default character without having to open this widget in game and then switching?

@beyondcinema 2 часа назад

In your Game Mode you need to set the default pawn as this character.

Does anyone know how to appear directly with the Custom character?

@whyareless 26 дней назад

Hi yes! Open GM_Sandbox (the GameMode blueprint) and change the Pawn Class.

@davidedemurodominijanni9889 25 дней назад

Very useful tutorial! Anyway, dunno if anybody did before me but I've figured out what could fix the issue about the mesh not updating to the actual character we choose... in the selected mesh Details panel untick "Editable when Inherited" and the character will finally appear updated to our chosen one, then simply tick the same box again.... and it's done.

@deygus 7 дней назад

I was trying to understand how to do this for a new project that I am starting eventually with this newer motion system and felt like the game animation asset pack would be a good start similarly so thank you for making this, that is absolutely so helpful!

@emile04 3 месяца назад

For anyone having trouble with child skeletal component animations freezing when the master skeletal mesh is not visible: Set the Leader Pose Skeletal Mesh's "Visibility Based Anim Tick Option" to “Always Tick Pose and Refresh Bones.” This option can be found in the skeletal mesh component details view under Optimization > Advanced.

@emile04 3 месяца назад

beyondcinema, I believe this is why you were having trouble creating a child from the parent

@bee1 Месяц назад

hi man, thanks for the tutorial, but when I choose GenericRetargeter my character stays on his A Pose and without movement in game or in blueprint viewport preview....

@beyondcinema Месяц назад

Did you follow it exactly? You need to duplicate the BP they provided and use that instead of creating your own child BP, at 5:46.

@bee1 Месяц назад

@@beyondcinema probably I made something wrong at 1st time cause I did it again and that worked, thanks... But also I have some kind of rigging issue in one of my CC4 characters... Both of them was created exactly the same way, but one of them, besides playing smoothly as a third character, he walk very strange using this new Animation sample workflow... Do you have any other video covering rigging problems?

@LittleJT123 3 месяца назад

So I have a slight problem...I am using a modular male and female, meaning i can swap heads, hair, facial hair etc.... so the part when you duplicate Twin blast BP and replace the mesh with my character....you mention it does not change the look and it must be a glitch or something, problem is that is where I need to be able to see my character in order to add the head and hair etc. at the moment I am running around with a headless character lol

@beyondcinema 3 месяца назад

Well you can still add the pieces just you'll need to double check by going out of the BP. As long as you know which skeletal meshes you want ahead of time.

@MartoGolemeca10-hf3gi Месяц назад

when i migrate it it shows an error and the face is bugged

@itsalwaysme123 Месяц назад

I haven't been able to find the answer, but is there a way to pull the animations out of the sample to use in my own project?

@beyondcinema Месяц назад

yes you find the animation sequences and then right click, asset actions, export. Or asset actions, migrate.

Unfortunately the skeleton is not really the same same of unreal skeleton, manny and Quinn gets deformed too, in my case my character is deformed in the same spots as all the characters in the sample

@beyondcinema 3 месяца назад

Not sure what you mean Mario. If you play as the sample characters they created, yours looks deformed?

@MarioCola 3 месяца назад

@@beyondcinema you know you can switch character in the sample right? Try Manny or Quinn, look for elbows and other bones, they are slightly off proportions I guess it's best suited for UEFN more than SK_Manny/Quinn.. hence if you have a beefy or slim character the proportions are even more off and noticeable Took a while to notice the same thing on Manny and Quinn in the sample but it's there, and I get way more deformation in the same spots as my character has already bigger arms etc Works fine with Manny Abp but broken proportions with this sample

@cy3281 Месяц назад

Brother, I imagine that at this point you have already solved the problem, but if not, you can always fix the deformations by opening your character's new retarget (RTG), and in the options on the left window, select your broken bones and press the circular arrow to reset, with this the character will recover its original form, it's just a matter of adjustment.

@MarioCola Месяц назад

@@cy3281 no broken bones, it's deformed when you first download it because it's not based on ue5 skeleton but uefn skeleton

Thanks man. I have a UE project with AAA modular pack soldiers in it. can I take these animations and out them in my projects to animate the soldiers for cinematics. I couldn't figure it out

@beyondcinema 3 месяца назад

Yes for that you just migrate the animation sequence files into your project and then you need to retarget the animations to your soldier characters. Are you in 5.4 on that project? If so the retargeting should be very simple.

When I try to retarget the animation it only let me use the skeletal mesh of the body, is there a way to have both the body and the face include when I use a custom metahuman?

@beyondcinema 3 месяца назад

You shouldn’t have to retargeting for metahuman just use the BP they’ve already included in the retargeted characters folder. Then you just swap out the skeletal mesh of both body and face. That should work but lmk if you have issues. There should be a video or 2 out already about metahuman with this project

@@beyondcinema i actually had a talk with the creator of this and he said that is not possible as the system is very complex and uses line traces to achive this. So the only possible way is adding the blueprint to mask static meshes.
