UE5 The New Animation Sharing, Including MetaHumans! 

Thanks man its great seeing channel like yours growing!!

This is great dude! thanks for your time in sharing.

Thank you very much for all of the excellent & informative videos!

Sweet! I'm going to make some animations for the new mannequin to get in the rush

Thank you!!

Is there a way to utilize this to create large, optimized crowds of bots? As in make hundreds of zombies follow the player around like in Days Gone or something?

a simplified Mixamo to UE Metahuman would be nice. And custom clothing for Metahumans. 😁👏

Hey thanks for the info. I was wondering up until now how to spawn more ai bots. One question I have is: is there a way to edit the spawns so enemies dont spawn next to another team's player? Sometimes I'll have an enemy spawn right behind me on this map I'm making for it. Only happens sometimes but I feel it could be fixed.

cheers mate

Thank you. Do you know how to add a custome made Metahuman to your project, and how to load to your custome metahuman the new UE5 animations? Like, showing the process what you need to do in order to make this work? Thank you so much and keep rocking, cheers

Thanks for sharing, the hand ik and foot ik are off for the old epic skeletons, and thoughts on how to fix that?

I might be wrong, but it doesn't look like the retargeting rig is that perfect between UE4 and UE5. For example on a fresh project, if I switch the character to the Tinplate one without any other changes, when testing the aim offsets (look up and down), the gun moves around quite a lot. Is that just me? Also thanks for the videos, they're really useful!

Thanks for the tutorial Gabriel. I'm using UE 5.0.1 and when I open up the Skeleton View of the Skeleton Mesh, I can see the Skeleton Tree and Retarget Sources tabs. There is no Asset Details tab and Compatible Skeleton option. Was there anything I need to do in order to get Compatible Skeleton option?

Awesome video. How can you use the Lyra locomotion (only the locomotion and shooting animation, no powers or poses) on a metahuman in a totally different project?

I have been working on it but I don't understand some of the connections that are made when a "compatible skeleton" is selected. Fingers, arms, and in some case scaling issues across some animations are things I've been trying to fix. Besides recreating the animation and baking another with control rig, are there any other settings I can look at to clean up some misaligned bones?

hi, what if i use my own 3d models like the skeleton is not base on ue 4. i also have my own animation. i tried but it wont play. applied the animation on the abp_ weapo rifle or pistol. replace some animation there but it wont run theres a message that says, unable to adjust playrate for animation with no root motion delta. what does this error mean?

Hi, great job! Have you tested the new skeletons with custom metahumans? Has anyone got that working or does the meta human creator maybe need an update for overall compatibility with UE5? I've been getting some video memory issues. Thank you for your videos!

I just do cinematics, are there any videos on full IK body rig and goals for animation you would recommend? thanks

his name is manny not lyra!

Guys, to be as realistic as possible, we might see these kind of photorealistic ,, AI humans ''graphics practically in games, on Unreal Engine 6 rather than UE5 or the current Unity tools in 8-10 years from now ( or when UE6 will be released ) and I will explain you why: Even now ( in 2022 ) the GPU are sadly still limited, yes 4000 / 5000 / 6000 series and so on will improve no doubt of that but imagine : Having so many details in one scene / open enviroment with :lightning, shadows, crowd systems, global ilumination, reflections, but ESPECIALLY destructive enviroment, better AI, dynamic Weather, 4 seasons implemented in games and so on ! the current hardware it is still not powerfull enough yet imo. ( I am not talking about what UE5 can do but what the current hardware can provide for us to run games on really large scale ) My expectations from any ,, next-gen '' game are these: 1. Having as much destructive enviroment possible, ( take example from Valheim, Minecraft, crackdown etc. ) I know that UE5 has ,, chaos system '' but i would like to see something even better implemented 2.better and more Dynamic weather. What we saw so far it is not anything close to revolutionary yet. Imagine a storm / tornado where trees can break, destroy the enviroment, etc. 4 full seasons with the weather specific from each of the seasons. 3. we need way better AI ( imagine being in an open world game, creating chaos, and each NPC / AI acting differently, each making their own unique decisions, some of them trying to stop you, some of them hiding, some of them calling cops and so on etc. Introducing all these things ( or even more )together in a game, COMBINED with photorealistic graphic, it will take some time imo. I am curious what upcoming games can improve on current market, will we see something revolutionary anytime soon ? I guess we'll see

it looks like the compatible skeleton doesn't work for 5.1 anymore.

hi everyone,i was looking for some help with lyra and metahuman...every time i build the project i get the following error and game crash'' assertion failed schemalt!= schemaend....etc etc''

Can we transfer the als animations into a synty character skeleton and assign the synty character into the visual mesh of the als anim man bp so that it uses the same anim bp?

I'm new.... lol I've spent the last 12 hours trying to figure out how to make these Marketplace packs work. (MultiAnim - Mantling, Shooter Rifle Anims) Just work period. Specifically Mantling. Could you help a noob out and maybe link a couple videos on what exactly I have to do. I've searched and searched and most of the stuff doesn't apply anymore because its UE4. End result is I want to add animations that are for the UE4 mannequin to the new mannequinn. I've been watching your videos and trying to make it work but I'm missing something. Button mapping or something.

my metahuman character legs aren't moving in the characterBP how can I retarget properly swap the ue5 mannequin with a metahuman

When doing this between two Mixamo characters, the original is fine but the second Mixamo character turns into just the skeleton with the textures stretched across it - Does anyone know why this is? (2 Mixamo skeletons have the same naming/animations) EDIT - For anyone else with this problem, import your 1st Mixamo exported character into Blender, rename Armature to root then export into Unreal, do the same with the animations and set everything up in Unreal as normal (AnimBP & Blendspace etc). Now any future characters you export from Mixamo only need to have the Armature renamed in Blender and they will be good to go (share animations) in Unreal. TLDR - Pass Mixamo exports through Blender and they will all correctly share the same Skeleton/animations in Unreal.

Hi there, would you like to help me find a way to create an ability system that allows executions on other players.

Gabriel can you help me with a game project that I have?

I've heard the performance is really bad
