Fantastic, just did Daz victoria 9, to Iclone and then thru to UE5 as a perfect TPP, via your brilliant tutorial, Thank you very much, you are a very good teacher!
@@Jobutsu You should buy Reallusion. Just my opinion. I saw their videos, but in your channel I have much more success with my projects! thank you by the way
Thanks for this, definitely one of the best CC + UE channels there is. I'm thinking about doing something a bit more complicated and wondered if you had any suggestions. I'm thinking in terms of equipable clothing/armor and character customization in game, but thinking it will probably take some kind of modular setup where the character is split into parts.
Thank you for your quick response! Have another question/suggestion. Would love a deeper dive into how to get a character's Anim_Bp to work with locomotion and the like. I have blend spaces and such set up from a UE4 character, and retargetted the animations to a new UE5 skeleton, but with the Retarget Pose from Mesh node in the way of outputting my locomotion, I'm not getting anything outside of an idle pose.
The imported skeleton dropdown is not showing up for me under the display section inside the bulk edit via property matrix window, any idea why? @6:30 I'm using UE 5.1, I don't know if this feature got changed.
@@Jobutsu Great tutorial! From here is it possible to add Mixamo animations to this rig or are there specific steps? Will this tutorial work for this CC4 setup I mean? ua-cam.com/video/JXBGw-6PpCE/v-deo.html
I have a question :) and if you covered this in the video I apologize if I missed it. I have already started an Unreal project . I have locomotion set up. Am I able to put my CC4 character onto that skeleton?
I've seemed to hit a snag with the animation retargeting you're using. It works perfectly when retargeting the Thirdperson AnimBP, however I want to use the animationBP of the Open World Locomotion plugin. When I follow your directions everything looks as it should, but for some reason (I haven't figured it out yet) the retarget animBP isn't playing the animations on my character in game. (They play fine in the retargeter itself)...?
@@Jobutsu is the purpose of the Retarget Pose From Mesh node you use in the retarget animBp to replace the need to create a separate animBP for my retargeted character? Trying to get an understanding of how/why it works.
By the way, on sourcing the animations to use with CC4 characters. (without retargeting in Unreal) I was just thinking about rolling my own animations from Maya. I was thinking the probably most smooth way would be to try to get HumanIK going in Maya to drive the rig. And export the animation FBX's from Maya to Unreal. If the skeleton matches, I guess should be good right?
@@Jobutsu Sourcing animations seem to be the challenge I have. I wasnt able to come up with a control rig after testing the Maya import. And I understand the reason why Reallusion will not be super motivated to provide third party options for custom animations when they have their own product to sell.
Followed the tutorial and about 95% there but I'm having issues with the fingers being warped. Can you give any help on this matter? Been hitting my head against the wall on this for weeks and Reallusion has not been able to help me solve it.
It is difficult from a distance. Set all the hand/finger bones retargeting settings to "skeleton". You can find out how here:- docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/using-retargeted-animations-in-unreal-engine/
@@Jobutsu that’s fucking awesome, I keep having some issues, I actually pay devs to help me build unreal assets so we can either use them in webGL or we can use them in our NFT based games, If you’re open to doing some commission work I’m super interested!
I'm using a CC4 character but intend on adding an additional bone to help with the deformation of the pants in the crouch area....what extra step (if any) would be required to get this retarget method to work in UE5 with the added bone to my CC4 character and the UE4/5 Manny?
Hello Jobutsu. I did everything as in your video, everything works. However, when creating your character blueprint, the character refuses to work. I would be fine with what is already there, but in my game I added logic to the newly created character blueprint, and not to the standard blueprint. Maybe you have a video with creating a blueprint of a character from scratch after importing? Sorry for my english. Google Translate.
FYI. I figured out you can import Mixamo movements in CC4 onto your current character then export “clothed character” but then only export movement. That converts to the CC4 skeleton. .
Instead of doing the retargeting on the fly you can retarget your animations and then apply them to your CC4 character. This will be more performant. However, in my experience CC4 characters are not the most efficient in terms of performance as player characters.
This has to be one of the best tutorial vids ive seen. Really well explained! awesome work mate.
Thanks!

Nice work!
I really love the tutorial. I was able to get UE animations going. Thank you so much for making it.
This is so amazing. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Love this tutorial, tried a few others, but this is the ONE!
Thanks. I used cc3 to make characters and it still worked.
nice! I was wondering this.
Best CC4 Channel!!
@reallusion might disagree

Did you ever managed to get the Full Body IK Solver to work?
It should be automatic in UE5.4 ?
Thank you for amazing videos
Please do a follow-up and cover the full body Ik.
Thanks for the tip
amazing explanation , thank you
Could you please do an updated video for creating a characte4 using cc4 / iCloud to third person character in use 5.4. I am soooo lost :)

It is now Skeletal mesh based.
You do not need to do this step, just open up the IKRig and choose your characters skeletal mesh.
@@Jobutsu oh okay, thanks mate
If I do this method will my character still be able to talk when I add talking animations later on?
I want to say yes but i never tried it.

I have no experience with that plugin
@@Jobutsu Understood. Do you have a discord or any way I can correspond with you further?
@@Jobutsu is the purpose of the Retarget Pose From Mesh node you use in the retarget animBp to replace the need to create a separate animBP for my retargeted character? Trying to get an understanding of how/why it works.
The purpose of that node is to do realtime retargeting using an IKRetargeter.
@@Jobutsu I figured out how to use OWLS with your method! This is a game changer!
Got a question, is the Alika_UE5Manny only needed for when we want to retarget Alika animations to the UE5Manny?
I missed this question. I want to say yes.
By the way, on sourcing the animations to use with CC4 characters. (without retargeting in Unreal) I was just thinking about rolling my own animations from Maya. I was thinking the probably most smooth way would be to try to get HumanIK going in Maya to drive the rig. And export the animation FBX's from Maya to Unreal. If the skeleton matches, I guess should be good right?
Maya is not part of my pipeline, so can not say yes.
If the imported skeleton matches or is close (use compatible skeletons), then I see no problem.
@@Jobutsu Sourcing animations seem to be the challenge I have. I wasnt able to come up with a control rig after testing the Maya import.

"Reallusion will not be super motivated to provide third party options for custom animations"
I have no idea what that means.
Cool thanks!
thanks you sir apreciate this
I need to adjust the bones setting to get the desired result. My mesh is just a bit different from the original. Do you have this tutorial?
I possibly covered it at some point. I have not been organized, so have lost track of what I have done this year.
@@Jobutsu yeah I’m having a really hard time to find it trough all the videos 🤣
Followed the tutorial and about 95% there but I'm having issues with the fingers being warped. Can you give any help on this matter? Been hitting my head against the wall on this for weeks and Reallusion has not been able to help me solve it.

Set all the hand/finger bones retargeting settings to "skeleton".
You can find out how here:-
docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/using-retargeted-animations-in-unreal-engine/
Did you use the accurig add on before export, or did you just load a mesh, export and use the UE5 tool with that mesh?
AccuRig did not exist when this was recorded. The characters are stock.
@@Jobutsu that’s fucking awesome, I keep having some issues, I actually pay devs to help me build unreal assets so we can either use them in webGL or we can use them in our NFT based games, If you’re open to doing some commission work I’m super interested!
Submit a proposal via the business email on UA-cam.
I get a lot of requests and have to filter them robustly because of time constraints.
@@Jobutsu understood, can this be done with a mesh I import just as easily as it can be with a template in the video?
It worked with custom rig - for some reason my guy is in a T pose when I start running instead of arms by his side but I’m sure I’ll nail it down
Thank you
I'm using a CC4 character but intend on adding an additional bone to help with the deformation of the pants in the crouch area....what extra step (if any) would be required to get this retarget method to work in UE5 with the added bone to my CC4 character and the UE4/5 Manny?
1. its own skeleton
2. Make sure the UE bones that CC adds are still there for the IKRig
3. Try it :)
@@Jobutsu Well I fixed it without having to add a bone! Just did some really nice corrective weight painting in CC4.
I will still be trying the added bone thing though because I will be adding accessories! 😇
So at runtime you're retargeting on the fly?
He is, but you can use the retarget blueprint to retarget UE5 animations instead and then use your animations on your CC4 character.
Hello Jobutsu. I did everything as in your video, everything works. However, when creating your character blueprint, the character refuses to work. I would be fine with what is already there, but in my game I added logic to the newly created character blueprint, and not to the standard blueprint.
Maybe you have a video with creating a blueprint of a character from scratch after importing?
Sorry for my english. Google Translate.
I am not a game developer, I work with cinematics.
thank u!!!
What if I have multiple characters to import?
I do not understand the question.
FYI. I figured out you can import Mixamo movements in CC4 onto your current character then export “clothed character” but then only export movement. That converts to the CC4 skeleton. .
Question: Does this work with CC3 and 4?
I only have CC4, I have only done R&D with that, so I can not say yes.
@@Jobutsu Ill give it a try later, and let you know, for anyone else that might ask.
It does work with both..
Dood thank you soon much.
it`s didn`t work with me why ? the character did`t animate
I do not know.
Each retargeting takes 1ms, imagine 16 retargeted actors present in game ,.
Thankfully, it is not something that I have to worry about.
don't take my comment in wroung way , I just want to say to other newbie devs like me in unreal engine to know .
I agree with your comment, I just do not have to worry about it because, I am not a game dev.
I use UE5/CC4 for virtual production.
Instead of doing the retargeting on the fly you can retarget your animations and then apply them to your CC4 character. This will be more performant. However, in my experience CC4 characters are not the most efficient in terms of performance as player characters.
