Demonstrates how to share animations between skeleton assets in UE5. Very useful when dealing with a high amount of animation asset packs.

You can add as many compatible skeletons as you want.

This is cool but my issue now is I added a weapon bone on the back of Sk#2. I need to animate that bone but all of the animations are set to Sk#1. Any solution?

[WrathOfAl]

Not sure if this is outdated because this doesn't work for me. When previewing the animation, it looks all messed up.

I have animation from out UE I bring it to UE .. ok ... I have mesh with bone from another source .. how I make retarget and apply many animation to them???

Your solution def speeds up the process. Just typing the next for me to fully understand it.
Instead of creating the chain setup every time you import an animation pack just set the default ue4 mannequin with the pack's skeleton as compatible (if they're still using the ue4's mannequin obviously), and then only do the bone setup once using the default ue4's mannequin to use it as a medium to retarget the pack's animations to the ue5's default mannequin.

You are a god, I struggled with assets, gave up on it and then I found your video which saved my dreams.

[CYBERkillla]

i have an animation pack and a character i wanna use they have identical skeletons but when i retarget or try this method they never match any good tutorials for fixing messed up animations

[FF-FAN]

sadly my compatible skeletons work, except for the head. the head always flips to the back side(but everything else is fine) . so strange

[kjd-sb]

What if the marketplace rig had some twist bones within the chain that I want to match with the mannequin? What do I do then?

I just started to learn Unreal Engine. I only want to learn UE5. How can I use animation pack for UE5 in UE5. It's so confusing that instructors always talk about UE4 to UE5.

[toe.freeman]

HI
I try the compatible skeleton feature of Ue5
that can shared animation across the similar bone hierarchy
the problem is the compatible skeleton with T pose not work with this method
even if I edit new skeleton, the current pose to A pose
but the shared compatible skeleton still remember the T pose
animation shared but it out of place
Is this a bug or need other thing to work around
thank you

[wakey]

The animation works in preview but not when i try to play it as a montage. Ive tried with different animations meant for the skeleton and they seem to work fine, please help!

[jeyGaming]

I noticed you use Rider. Do you code in C++ for you projects?

[dreambadger]

Amazing. I use iClone & Character Creator to import motions (Animation Sequences). You can guess these didn't work at first as they have their own skeletons, but I used this skeleton compatibility and now it works! Thank you dude.
