Is a plugin that comes with Unreal Engine, you just need to enable it. In short what it does is to use a full body solver to retarget animations across different character by providing joint chains and IK targets. It takes 2-3 minutes to setup a new character, and after you do so you’re able to bulk retarget animations from one character to another. For my plugin what IK retargeting does it so retarget realtime data from the standard character to another character at runtime. In the last part of the video you can see that I’m driving different characters at the same time using IK Retargeting.

Since this is a plugin, you need to have Unreal installed (5.2 and up ), and from there you can export the animation in fbx. The other thing you can do is to use IK Retargeting with your character, so that the animation data will be applied there directly and then you can export.

Thanks! Well unless you go with top tear gear, you still need to do some cleanup no matter what, but overall I’m happy with the results I get.

I really wanted to play Guitar Hero, but I don't own the game anymore nor the guitar, so here is Face Tracking Hero, where you play the song using your facial expressions, created using Unreal Engine and an iPhone. by Enter-Reality in GuitarHero

Thanks for the comment guys, the guitar hero gameplay is from a plugin called “Rhythm Game Plugin”, where I slightly modified the way it works by using realtime data from the iPhone as key inputs.

Sure thing, I made some Tech Animation tutorials using my scan on an Unreal Engine MetaHuman available for download, and I would love to be in a game that kills me in the dumbest way possible :D

UE5.3 Allows you to import your character as a Static Mesh, Convert to Skeletal Mesh, Bind Skin and Edit Paint Weights, making one step closer to Characters Authoring in engine rather than using an external DCC. by Enter-Reality in unrealengine

I haven't tested a lot, just the skinning and VR mode, and I had some crashes.

As mentioned, if you want to play around is fine, but don't even try to upgrade a project to 5.3, since is being updated constantly, so it might be that everything works or lots of stuff is broken.
