Hello guys welcome back to another video. In this tutorial I will be showing you how to take any animations from any character model, and how to retarget those animations for any other character model you might have. Retargeting animations allows you to re-use the same animations from one character, on another completely different character model. And with the IK Retargeter, you can use the power of Full Body IK, and IK goals, to further fine tune your animations.

There's a critical step you missed if you want to retarget animations that have root motion.
In both your IK Rigs, you'll want to add a chain that is just for the Root bone, then in the Retargeter, select The Root Chain and Change the Translation mode to "Globally Scaled". Took me a few days to figure out why my capsule and camera didn't move with the animation and why it was just "snapping back" to the start.
Thanks for the detailed explanation on the using the full body IK goals, very helpful!
One last thing, if you're lazy like me, there's a pre-existing Retargeter from UE4 Manny to UE5 that you can duplicate and then swap out the UE5 manny for your new target rig. That way half the work is done for you, as long as you select the "default pose" for the retarget pose instead of manny or quinn.

Hands down the best guides on YouTube. You don't only do what we want to learn but also guide through the different options and where they would need to be used. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the tutorial. I wish there were more videos like this that go into using IK goals. Majority of the time i have searched it was ommitted and the retargeting was done only with the chains.
So that's a huge + for you to include this information. I wish you went deeper into the solvers, that's also something that i rarely see videos go about. But that's almost hard to search when i want to retarget quadruped animations haha.

This was excellent! I have followed several other tutorials with mixed results. They generally claim that you can do this in five minutes. It may take them five minutes, but it takes a lot longer when I need to pause, rewind, play slower to figure out what they are doing. Thank you for a complete tutorial.

This is superb! Having watched several related tutorials, I'd list this one as the best I've found on this topic. UPDATE: I have now used this method to retarget several hundred animations. They'll need the IK goal refinement later but are well beyond "good enough" for the early-stage work I'm doing in a cinematic right now. Thanks so much!

Awesome tutorial π I just used this to retarget my test character i created in the MPFB2 addon in blender and it worked like a charm π
|
I just wanted to say. I very much appreciate this video. It helped me a ton. Keep up the great work.

Awesome tutorial! Good seeing you at Unreal Fest 2023. You're helping game devs like us to succeed.
|
Amazing tutorial as always!
|
Super helpful tutorial, Thank you SmartPoly!
This tutorial was a life saver, I was worried It would take me a long time to learn how to retarget animations again as the system from UE4 and UE5 differ, but I have to say the new retargeting tools work super well once you get the hang of it using this tutorial
