The other shows the first frame of the animation you chose. One is in a Tpose and we don’t use that one. So I rename the Physics Asset, Skeletal Mesh and Skeleton to reference the yBot that I used in Mixamo. Once imported I like to rename a few of the assets so that they can be more generic and usable in other animations. You’ll get some warnings in your message log, but ignore then, it’s fine. So there are some differences in the import settings between the first one you import and the second.įor the First one : The default settings should be fine, but compare to this screengrab here to make sure they are the same. I’m going to import two different animations so that I can use them on two different Metahumans. Open your new folder and select Add/import > import to Game/Mixamo (Mixamo being my folder name) So make a new folder in your Unreal Content Browser for your Mixamo content. Next we need to import that into your Unreal project. I like to use Ybot when I’m choosing animations because I’m going to download the character and I don’t want my content browser filled up with all the materials and extra assets that the more complicated characters contain.Ĭhoose Ybot and choose your animation and click the orange download button It’s totally free and has a lot of neat assets for you to play around with. The pack you’re looking for is UE4 Mannequin Mobile by Epic Games. The easiest way is to grab it from the Unreal MarketPlace. So if you search in your Content Browser for “Mannequin” and nothing comes up, then you’ll need to import one. Now to start, I didn’t have the Mannequin in my file because I’m developing for the Hololens and my start file was blank. Step 2 – retarget from the UE4 Mannequin to my Metahuman. Step 1 – retarget Mixamo to the UE4 Mannequin.

Eventually I realised that it was a two step process. I tried watching so many tutorials on how to successfully retarget animations from Mixamo to my Metahuman and none of them helped.
