I understand I can use this for body rig. But what about face rig and animation? Any solution mixing with this for that? I need answers please, I’m new to unreal
yeeeah I'm trying the plugins both in and next to the content folder with both .3 and .4 and even gone back and created a new blueprint project and c++ project, it only shows when pasting inside the content folder, and then still only shows an icon but no rig - are there any other plugins that need installing at all or anything we're missing because alot of people are having the same issue
Thank god because I was having this problem. I’m on a MacBook Pro and I’ve done step by step and it hasn’t worked. I can’t even create the plugins folder like he did. I’m on 5.4.4
Ok, might have a solution for you. Double check your bone naming structure. I noticed his bone names were just things like "hips", "spine", and "spine1". However the naming convention I get out of Mixamo has a prefix on those names (something like "mixmorig_hips"). Once I removed all the prefixes from the bone names, the plugin worked perfectly. I could not find a way to batch rename bones in Unreal, but in Cinema4D there is a "Name" tool that lets you do simple batch renameing operations. I would hope blender (or whatever you might use would have something similar). Hope that works.
Does it work in Unreal 5.5? If I move the arms (FK and IK) the arm behaves properly but the fingers stay in the same place wich makes the fingers stretch.
@Parents3alray2 so with my mecha models, the mixamo DOES work but it can't weight paint properly to save its life. So like things deformed as the model moved where it should have stayed rigid. This method works well on characters who don't have a lot of pieces that stick out from their bodies, like a simple halo spartan no problem. But yeah it's good! Just doesn't work on EVERY model out there. For other models you'll just have to make your own control rig, which isn't too hard to do.
Im not able to find the plugins folder which he mentions ive enabled show plugin content.Theres just one plugin folder under engine which has a lot of other stuff.Any help?
@@richardkes I did it out of maximo in the t-pose (original). It worked for one character. Another I had to fix the height in blender and then do the static t-pose. However I do have one character that no matter what I have tried the gizmos stays on the ground. So it's a half fix
@@richardkes 2 X 3rd party characters and one from the UE store. The one from the UE store is the one I can't get to happen even with going back out to blender then mixamo
Do you think this is compatible with Motion Matching? It would smooth out the transitions from one animation to the next and, hopefully, remove any stuttering. I love your videos and would love to see something covering Motion Matching
hey Josh, I'm following the steps for this video. I downloaded my rigged character with a walking animation from mixamo, I checked the in-place animation. Now that I imported the fbx to UE. when I place the skeleton with the walking animation in the sequencer, the character walks but stays in place. Is there a way to make the character to walk forward? or do I download the same walking animation without the "in-place" checkbox from Mixamo? Thanks a lot for your amazing videos!
Hi. Do you know any good solution to walk character in slope terrain? When i add my character to sequencer and add walk animation i cant resolve problem with walk on sloping terrain.
Thank you for the package, but honestly, there are too many keys, and they are practically uneditable. What do you suggest, dear josh? Is there any method or solution for this?
If you are taking premade animations and trying to adjust them, use the 'additive' track method he shows in the video. This allows you to make adjustments or additions to the animation without touching the underlying keyframes
Whether it's 5.3 or 5.4, my controllers are all under my feet and not appearing at the control points that should have existed. Have you encountered such a problem? And is there a solution? My current version is 5.4.4

You need to paste the plugin next to your Content folder, not inside your Content folder. Pause during the installation instructions and you'll get it working!
@@JoshToonenfollowed the same instructions and still same thing. Plug-ins is next to the content folder Edit: I followed the instructions the same way you explained it. Did not work however I saved everything and restarted the engine, loaded up my project and it appeared at the bottom as you’ve shown in the video. I hope this helps anyone who might be experiencing this issue

I mean mixamo is nice and all, but wow did it ever destroy my character when I tried to import it. (It did not like the skirt) Now to be fair, I'm using a vroid made character (so a .vrm file) so I could use something else but yeah... This one click thing seemed so nice and convenient.＾＾
A lot of the reason mixamo messes with models is due to weight painting. You can fix the weight paints after bringing the Mixamo model back into your modeling program. Or you can tweak the model to leave off things like helmets and stuff that mess with weight paints and then add those accessories back to the rigged model.

Depends what you want to do inside UE. If you're rendering for example, you want as much GPU VRAM as possible.
Yes it is

Hey, I tried to do this with a character from sketch fab that was .Gltf but I wasn’t able to make it work. What is the process for that?
This plugin work only for mixamo armature. So you have to send your character to mixamo and rigging in mixamo and import to unreal.
Can I use this with the auto rig pro rig ?
Will you ever update this to UE5.5 ??????
Dears! Doesn't compile -- writes about begin execution node... What can i do about it?
Does it works with different names of bones😢
Does this work with non-humanoid characters?

Try removing any texture plugged into the roughness pin in blender before you export. I have to remove everything but the base colour for some reason.

So basically this is a rig to add "post mocap"?
This wasn't very helpful, because my unreal engine isn't allowing anything to import.
