Man I was hoping it would be easier by now 🤣

[digitolwonder]

haha wow...this was definitely a task but you did a wonderful job walking through this. Was able to get my character working! Feet are floating a bit above the surface but at least they are now in there. Thank you for this tutorial! Subscribed :)

To fast.. and jumped to much without telling what you did

[Hobnockers]

looks like that changed with 5.4. How do you use a Mixamo Character as your ThirdParty Player Character?

[shocked-curry-omelette]

Removing the Control Rig at 5:42 will remove the procedural foot IK feature. But at least my character walk properly now thanks to your video. I am still trying to figure out how to create the foot IK to make this work

For some reason, when I actually "Retarget animation assets", alot of the animations come out looking very strange compared to what is being shown in the IK retargeter! I went through all the animtions in the retageter and they look fine. Mainly they are rotated and in weird directions. Any tips?

Suggestion: You should do another video. Based on 5.4 it currently has a auto ik and auto retarget feature. Made following the tutorial easier.

Nice tutorial! I have a question thought, what if you want to play your own animations and not the manny ones?

Thank you. Im glad someone finally made a video for this that isn't over a fucking hour long for no reason.

I just have a question: What if your character has long hair? How can you set up the IK bones to actually work with this?

[sporge]

great tutorial!! worked the first time but on a new character they started "banding" where i would press play and the character would ""run away" from the camera then reset position when not moving- any advice?

[DirkTeucher]

This is the best retargeting video ever . Thank you.

[izzy-mew]

mine has working weights and everything but its not copying the ik of the manikin and when I test the animations the maniquin moves but my mesh stays stationary.. is there something I am doing wrong?

[holdthetruthhostage]

I truly hope this works because this is the biggest issue with unreal placing a new character model in Unity its just Make Humaniod done, in Unreal its a Billion stupid steps

[nxlanLuvy]

2:14 It won't let me select anything... Like everything shows up but as soon as I click on it, it just doesn't do anything...

[patrykby]

Dude, thx a lot ! But sometimes you are doing stuff to fast, like this last step of tweeking things in Anim graph, "ABP_Catlady" title save me from being lost 4evr

[DeadsunPrime]

Good Video Woody! I am glad you are making this more accessible for people!

[melancholy]

when i open the ik retargeter i dont get the left window. i cant figure out how to find it.

[ArtificialBeauties]

I only watched 15 seconds of the video, but i already paused the video, to like, subscribe and comment, good channel !

[bigsarge]

Hmmm.. I can't get edit mode to show at all.. am I missing something? (4:20 mark)

[UtopiaImagination]

Does anybody know how I can use a downloaded Mixamo character with my own animation Blueprint
