#UE5 Series: IK Rig Retargeting in UNREAL Engine 5.3 and 5.4

In this step-by-step guide, we'll delve into the process of retargeting animation within UNREAL versions 5.3 and 5.4. Initially, we'll explore the entire workflow, highlighting all the dos and don'ts specific to version 5.3. Then, we'll leverage this knowledge and seamlessly apply the same techniques in UNREAL Engine 5.4. This ensures you're equipped to transfer animations between characters, irrespective of the version you're working with. Additionally, if you prefer to focus solely on one version, timestamps are provided in the video for your convenience.

44:15 Is there a way to mirror changes?

[eborge]

Holy shit I've been going nuts over this thinking it was way tougher, the auto version did a better job than i could (or wanted to do)

My leg bone have 2 bone in thigh, its rotate too in retargeter - looks very broken. How i can lock or exclude this bone? I add bone setting - but its make no any effect.

[Edward]

question, if you're in the iK retargeter and the create is not selectable nor auto align and reset?

so currently I am facing a problem about retargeting a Animation Blueprint of a specific character (UE 5.4 Way) so I can use it on another Mesh but the problem is when i finish retargeting it.. my newly created Animations blueprints skeleton is completely ruined, like it's twisted, huge in side, bones looks like huge spaghettis on the preview mesh i don't know what is causing this issue, and it's only happening with the animation blueprint for the character that contains all the important functions and animations with it, another funny thing is all the animations, Montages, Aim offsets are working fine just that AnimBP. Has anybody faced this kind of issue? if so, please share the solution with me I am really stuck.
