How to Change Lyra Character | Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial

Показать описание

In this video I will show you how you can quickly change the character model in the Unreal Engine 5 Lyra Starter game. It's farily easy and all you need is a character mesh that you want to swap. You can either use a ue4 mannequin rigged character mesh, such as the one I used in this video. Or you can use a UE5 mannequin rigged mesh.

Been searching for this - you seem to be the only tut showing this so far that I've found. Thank you

Nice tutorial! Just a quick tip; you can replace the character without having to change the B_Manny or B_Quinn BPs. Instead find the "Lyra Cosmetics Developer Settings" in the Editor Preferences and set the character BP you want to use in the "Cheat Cosmetic Character Parts" field. You might have to make that character use a retarget ABP but in your example that shouldn't be needed. I've done this for a MetaHuman for example, and there I just needed to set the "Live Retarget" option in the MH BP for it to work.

It seems as though retargeting is easier in UE5. Thank you for all of your hard work.

Best tutorial channel I have ever seen on utube

Lyra series are coming guys!!! (Or I think so... you should do it @SmartPoly haha!! ) how to... change the map, the weapons, some animations, the main menu, the particles when you die... maybe how to combine lyra with destructible vehicles? there is a lot of stuff there, but I appreciate that you start with the shorter tutorials pls. Thanks in advance and great work!!😉

VictorGO

yes please more LYRA. Love the vids, you are amazing bro.

Loving this, keep up the hard work! Ive been tryna play around with the Lyra project and appreciate your tutorial. Though would you mind making one showing how to increase the bot/player count in the matches.

I'd be cool seeing a non-destructive approach, create new character cosmetics and assign them around the lyra data assets (just an idea for a future video) :P

Hey man, I had a go at doing this with a couple of the paragon characters, but when I did so they were stuck in t-pose. what did I miss? thx

NexandtheMultiverse

How about the weapons? they dont seem to align properly after retarget? Any fix for that? Especially with cc3 characters too

insanestudios

Thanks a whole bunch! I have been trying to figure this out for a while now but have been putting it to the side due to how hard i thought it was going to be. But it seems like that's not the case!

call_me_mado

good tutorial. can you do a tutorial showing how to use an unreal metahuman character as your 3rd person character in UE5 please?

aidorrocks

Love your tutorials but it doesn't work for me. When i click retarget nothing is created and looking in the output logs I see the following message: LogTemp: Warning: Batch retarget aborted. No animation assets were specified. Any help woud be much appreciated.

nicholaspeterkin

Very helpful, was trying to figure this out for the Paragon assets. Thank you!

droneshotsfreedronestockfo

Hey thanks heaps for your videos I learned a lot and they are really well made, hopefully you make way more

seffdog

Is it possible to replace with MetaHuman characters? your videos are wonderful congratulations!

allefandradeeloisantos

I'd be cool to add different types/styles of characters from like what you changed above to metahumans downloaded from Quixel Bridge...to sort of have that Ready Player One player mashup feel.

gage

Can you show how to make Lyra multiplayer and setup the server for Lyra
