  • In this video I will show you how to correctly export a character from Blender to Unreal Engine 5.
    Common mistakes include issues with the scale of the root, joint orientations and differences between bones and joints. In this video I will talk about everything you need to know to correctly export rigged characters that follow Unreal Engine standards.
    00:00 Intro
    00:54 Rig Setup
    03:10 FBX Export Settings
    04:44 Leaf Joints
    06:09 Root Joint Scale
    09:05 Bones vs. Joints
    12:03 Joint Orientation
    21:20 Conclusion

    Super helpful tutorial, thank you Daniel. Such annoying work arounds to get Blender rigging to work in standard game engines (Unreal/Unity).
    Would be a dream if the Blender devs update the skeletal system some day to match industry standards. Or so your rig doesn't have to look like a crazy person made it with the leaf bones sticking out in every direction just to work when exported.

    Thank you!! I've moved to Blender from Max and, although I like the interface, responsiveness and all, it does lack on some basic things like proper FBX handling.
    Your video not only fixed the root x100 issue I was having, but it did it in the best way! Showing one issue at a time then how to fix each one. That's how we learn naturally, when we face the issues ourselves and I believe that's how I won't forget it so soon.
    It also prepared me for the next time I start an Unreal scene in Blender. I'll know to set those units from the get go.
    Again, thanks a lot!

    Hey great vids, im not 100% sure if this could work and dont have time atm to test myself.. but when it comes to the bone orientation (within belender) i wouldnt think you need to un-parent all the bones them manually rotate them to match orientations within unreal.. you can change the orientation of the bones within "edit mode" and clicking on "armature, bone roll, recalculate bone roll" to a certain axis without having to manually do it (i keep this added to my Q - quickfav menu).
    maybe worth a try?

  • @Monshilstraze
    @Monshilstraze 2 года назад +2

    5:08 But you did make that bone at 1:20 ??
    14:30 what you mean by can't turn it? rotate it or roll it? in edit mode you can roll it with CTRL+R. While in pose mode just press R and the axis(X,Y,Z) you want it roll on two times. It will put rotation in local mode so you can roll the bone in place.
    As I've seen bones work like that everywhere, parents affect child bones, I can't seem to get your point.

  • @SaMu_eL

    Just a heads up! having your bone orientations in Blender not aligned with that of Unreal won't become a problem when creating control/ik rigs, since you can set each ik controller's primary and secondary axis.

    Hie, I'm not sure if it's covered here but I'm noticing that in my FBX animations that the thigh bones and calf bones are scaling and that cause like bobble movement on the foot in Unreal. Is this an export issue? Because I followed everything right with baked animations, no leaf bones and just deform bones.

  • @poppunkgametime
    @poppunkgametime 8 месяцев назад

    Followed the same units/scale/export settings and Unreal is still making the root scale to 100. I've tried just about everyone's "solution" to the problem outside of buy the Better FBX plugin for Blender.

    • @poppunkgametime
      @poppunkgametime 8 месяцев назад

      UPDATE! So my problems were that I had "Stretch to" constraints in my rig that were messing things up. For some reason applying the scale to the armature makes those constraints go haywire. To fix that, I disabled the constraint, added a new one and copied the exact settings and removed the previous bugged out constraint. Also, if you're using custom shapes for your control bones, be sure to scale those up too! If you don't then the bone controllers will become super tiny.

    This is what I got after "Apply Scale": ruclips.net/video/SyxI6FeB-MU/видео.html
    Well, I did everything and after all I realized something from this tutorial ruined my animation: and after few minutes and removing all my animation sets I found the issue: When I apply Scales on my Armature it does something weird with my animations, they all start to play like root bone is not on the middle of the character, his body now moves from center can can't move left
    ight\up\down on animation it stays still on one point and just move bones like a doll, and also it even changed my animations FPS, it went to 30 instead of original 24....
    So after all my inspects I tried to use "Ctrl+A->Scale To Deltas" instead of "Scale". And it works in the blender but after I import model to Unreal Engine it still has the x100 scale...
    Any ideas how to fix scale and save animations?

      OK I fixed my problem. The problem here is when we "Apply Scale", everything get squashed except for the transforms in the keyframes of our animations. After I applied the same scale (x100) on the root bone's transforms of each keyframe as well (I used scripting), everything looks normal again.

    Sounds very good and hopefully, but it doesn't work for my case, unfortunately. Struggling the exporting for three days already. Just a simple rig for IK control. All imported well, but when I try to connect effector control to Full Body IK node - mesh starts terrible wrapping. And the slightest movement of the effector leads to terrible, unpredictable movements of geometry.
    The IK works correctly only when I keep the model very tiny (don't scale it by 100 skeleton and mesh). If I scale and then apply transforms - IK doesn't work, although the root bone scale is 1, in UE.
