Unreal Engine Tutorial: Change Character Mesh

This is the first part of an Unreal Engine 4 tutorial on how to change the character mesh of your third person player. In this One I will reuse the Manequin third person character blueprint and just change the skeletal mesh.

The next one will be about adding in the animation of the low poly Blender model.

You risked the algorithm not favoring you to give us a short video that is to the point. You are a beautiful person.

Unreal engine is like a work of art to me. I love using it and you make it better.

He didnt mention a critical step that he did. The default character selection is looking at all actor BPs (blueprints) you have. He has duplicated the stock BP and named it "LowPoly" etc, so he can find it in that drop down in his project.

So either duplicate that BP and give it the name you want, then find it in that drop down; or just do this in the original BP and don't rename it since it's already the default. You can do the latter option and rename it too if you want without having to change the setting in that drop down, unreal is smart enough to keep up. Either will produce the correct result.

Hi! How do I add the jump animations (jump_start, jump_loop and jump_end) correctly? have a nice day!

[xXBrutusXx]

Thank you ! Can someone link me the next video for the animations ? I can't find it 🤔

If it's not switching over to your new character, make sure to delete the default character from the scene first!

[Enderking]

Can I just use the default animations on the model?

[LokirofRoriksted]

does it decrease the size of the project? By just creating a 3rd person project, the project already pass 1gb size
