I know it's kinda a pain to change your skeletal base, but REALLY, it's totally worth it - It makes your character WAY easier to re-target if you have to and gives it access to the entire Unreal 5 Suit and Marketplace Animations!!
Nice thing is to try make two rigs for your character in Blender - One Game ready and one controll rig.For custom Bones Like taił etc you will need ancustom skinn
Can you make an armor parts tutorial rigging please
@@davy4842 think it aint Not a big deal, you just parent the whole armor part to the bone
Cool, can use blender that quickly, I really don't want to buy Maya.
Yes! This is EXACTLY what i need. Can we maybe get like a 3-5 minute video just showing how to get to the window you were in and how to weight paint please? Just a video showing all the steps from opening the program to finishing with the character? Id very much like to do this but don't know the program like that. Thanks for making this video!
As someone who has been using Unreal for years.
Yes. Do this if you aren't much of an animator.
What do i do if i wanna animate some of my characters actions
@@alienx3486 Use the modular control rig in UE 5.4 and animate them in-engine. The naming conventions used for the mannequin rig will allow you to make a control rig really fast.
@@alienx3486 I think that the best option will be to do that, but with skeleton from Unreal Engine 5, so for example, if you are using Blender for animation, just export UE 5 skeleton into it and create an animation with it.
So! That is why fortnite adds 1000+ characters per month...
Yap
So straightforward... this is unreal :o)
Probably a dumb question... but how do you get UE's skeletal base?
You have the option to export it from within UE, just right click the asset and you should find that option there.
@@Mcl_Blue thanks g
Great question and great answer :)
Maaaaaan, you saved my time so much. Thanks!
Can you show how to rig in unreal ? I know this method is the easy way for humanoids but what If i wanna rig a dinosaur or something?
Hey mate do you have a tutorial on how exactly to do that? I've never done rigging or weight painting and I don't know what I'm doing :D
Exactly we'll need at least a 5 minutes tutorial xD
*Fastest ways to rig your characters for Unreal Engine default skeleton (automatically):*
1. ActorCore Accurig (free tool)
2. Game Rig Tools (free Blender addon)
3. Mixamo (free tool)
These can literally rig your characters in minutes and save you huge amout of time. You can also import rigged characters in Blender to fix rigging issues (if there are any) manually.
Is there a guide or tutorial on using all 3?
Nevermind, I thought these were steps, not individual ways.
Mixamo is fucked atm.
Can you do a video on how to do it
Yeah there is some presumed knowledge here, which as a beginner I don't have. Do we have a beginners tutorial for the steps here?
The question is -- WHERE to find that unreal mannequin file. (for blender). Googling it - gave multiple versions, each one is different. And there are some addons for blender, that also create different unreal rigs (even bone names). So! Where to look for [The one] rig (to rule them all)
I got my character loaded but he just glides along the ground with no animations. Any ideas? Happy I got this far tho
I never get anywhere with these videos, so little information, I always have to complete it by looking elsewhere but it puts my finger on interesting subjects. Too bad you always have to complete with other tutorials to find the information you're missing.
In this case, it gets stuck with 37 seconds, I don't have the option to choose SK mannequin. I therefore deduce that it comes from the export and the rigging which must be special, which he does not mention.
Do you know where I can find the information I'm missing? I tried in different ways, with a rig and with bones, it doesn't say either for the naming of the vertex groups, they must have a predefined name or not?
Yes please use Unreal's mannequin skeleton it will prevent all sorts of problem down the line.
Hey, I want detailed tutorial thanks!
This video is assuming you downloaded the UE 5 skeleton you find in the preset folder, correct? If that’s the case, you should tell people how to do so, it takes 5 seconds.
If u know how to do it u could just comment how to instead of '' u should tell people ", but dont worry, I'll do it for you.
In any unreal project u have, click the 'plus'/Add button on 'content browser' tab, select template and third person, u done ^^
the third person character will be on your content browser with some other useful assets too.
Thank you soooo much. This is some key i needed very hard ^^
i'm used to animate in a rig that i learnt from college,
how can i transfer my custom animations to Unreal rig?
so just to be clear:
remove the original skeleton from the model and paste in the unreal skeleton before weight painting?
yes of course, you replace the skeleton
@Captain Reason which software doesn't matter, just use whichever one you like that gets the job done
What about replacing the UE sportscar body?
Thanks.
Thank you, but I need to know how can we make a skin like Disney? I hope there is a video from your side for this matter and I expect you will do it .. again thank you.
How do oyu use unreal skeleton, i coudlt export, i already converted the ascii file to binary for use the skeleton on blender but dont work. How do i use the unreal skeleton mesh for rig my mesh ? please do a tutorial.
Did you ever show how to get UE5 manniqen in blender??
Got it! Next please!)
can someone help. It won't work mate.
how did you make the gJointPositions?
i rotated the joints manually and you said to not do it but I can't find how you move the skeleton to match the model
But how can you change the animations with your desired animation e.g I wanna use animation assets on the default character
How do I change the default blueprint? (and not just skeletal mesh within the default blueprint)
Can u also show us the advanced locomotion how to replace them?
I just tried exporting an fbx of Manny from Unreal, renaming it then dropping it back into Unreal. Unreal doesn't read it as a Manny compatible skeleton for me.
Same here
@@elicarloz9057 looks like we need to set it as a 'compatible skeleton' in Unreal. Even after doing this though not all animations showed up for me but when I chose 'show incompatible animations' when choosing an animation i can load them all and they work.
@@audiogus2651 do you set it when exporting or importing it back?
Dude. Amazing.
Whats the name of this software That you weight paint ?
How did you select which animation was exported? Animating in Maya I had a hard time organizing animations, it seemed like all you could do was put them on a single strip
if you don't have Maya, what then? No, we do need a short tutorial that shows the new 5.4 Preview and how to change your default ThirdPerson Mannequin with a Mixamo Character, and a Metahuman Character.
Can you show more on the weight painting process per bone?
unreal 5 skeleton.? where can I downoad that? you videos are just fkn AMAZING
Thank you for the tip !! will do!
Hello! I have a problem when importing my skeletal mesh from Maya to Unreal, evene if i don´t do any modifications to it, just importing to maya and exporting back to Unreal, an error pops up saying "Failed to Merge Bones". I looked at some forums and someone said this: I figured out the issue. Apparently when exporting FBX, an extra bone simply named after the mesh is added as a parent to the mesh and skeleton. I just had to unparent the skeleton and mesh from this in maya (then rotate the mesh -90 degrees on the X axis) before exporting. I tried doing the same and it still didn´t work, Any suggestions ?
not showing how to move it there so i can choose it? I imported a new character but it dosnt show in the list
Halo Archive really screwed me on this one; all the rigs are in IK/FK format and I want to import a good few of them…
Begin the suffering montage…
you my friend are a true hero
What program are you using in this demo ? Artstation ? Maya ?
Hi I know I am late but that is Maya
ok, my questions
1. how to move bones in maya symmetrically
2. how to convert maya midel for blender market
My thing is how do you rig it without weight painting, I tried with the other tutorial you have and it just wouldn't work
How do you replace the skeleton to a character in blender?
make exmaple of using unreal skele for base in blender then! nice vid
but my character is small and it doesnt scale so well
Can I add control bones to this rig in Maya?
wwhat if i have a low poly character and dont want all those finger bones ect.? for a simple character is is still worth it?
ok but how tf do i do that 😥😥😥
it would be nice to let people know about blender "mr mannequin tools" (unreal skeletons) some helpful stuff if you didn't know about it yourself yet.
@Captain Reason you’re welcome
That rig is amazing for the main character, but, what if I have a crowd of zombies for example (maybe like 200 or more), is that amount of bones be bad for performance? I mean the crowd of zombies don't need, for example: metacarpal hand bones, toes, 5 spine bones, 2 neck bones, ik bones. But maybe I'm wrong and the amount of bones don't hit the performance if they all have the same rig, I have no idea.
Can't you just modify the bones and remove those that are unnecessary?
and.... if i need non human skeleton?
what is fpx file? and what program are you using? thats not UE5
looks like maya (thousand dollar program)
How do I change its skin. like put my face only and color clothes? how it looks like only.
I'm on the custom rig and custom animations path(don't ask me why). Root motion is a pain.
How do i stop the ik_Hand_Gun From effecting the weight paint
Would low poly characters that don't require weight painting still work with this? I assume the answer is a "duh, yeah it would" but I'm not sure. I have an ultra simple character I want to play with but it's not connected so no weight painting involved, just parented to bones.
No, it's not possible. The model needs weight paint for animation. You could just replace the character with a statsic mesh for the same result.
you can auto weight paint
"just weight paint your character" ... Idk how to do any of these things.
i would use maya if itn not costed more then my kidney
bro is doing da speedrun
i was thinking of making my own same skeleton for my game characters because i want different animations
Can you make an armor part tutorial in unreal please?
My character has a tail ....big tail. how to encorperate that into the unity's base model stuff ?
watch Unreal 5 Rig Modification Guidelines in the play list
gg
can you make a video with a slowed down version so the new people can learn please. Then i might just subscribe. if you do that. for now i won't because there was not much details to actually do it
King!
He's just telling you that he can do it but not gonna tell you where and how to do it. So this is a video about "YOU CAN DO IT", that's all.
not enough information in this video
is it work in film animation or not
Yes it does. You will need to provide the necessary animations though, that are made for the default skeleton. AFAIK, many of the free Mocap tools allow you to export their animation to either the UE4 or UE5 mannequin.( they have different skeletons, the latter is also the default skeleton for MetaHumans)
You will need to activate some plugins though for it to work. They are already active by default, if you start with a Virtual Production template. Then you can use Unreals Sequencer to make your animation.
@@KuraiNoOni what about model costum
@@arrtma do you mean using animations with custom rigs? For that you may have to use the built in retargeting tools and assign similar bones to each other. A great example is included in the game templates using either the third person or first person template as a starting point. You will find a retarget file inside the Mannequins folder, that is setup for the UE4 mannequin.
If you meant costumes instead, you could open the blueprint of any metahuman, to see how it is setup.
Okay so how do you get a character
Algo
Don't know how to weight paint. :/
🤩
algo 34
im gonna burn in hell
the moment i got into ue5 i ditched the templates entirely and have been making everything from scratch
heresy
English please
Dude, I have no idea what you're talking about. Isn't the video to teach the inexperienced? But for some reason, you need to be experienced to understand...
ok, my questions
1. how to move bones in maya symmetrically
2. how to convert maya midel for blender market
