Using Root Motion With Mixamo Skeleton + Animations! | How To Make YOUR OWN Game! | Unreal Engine 4
Root motion is the action of moving a character's root component (such as their capsule collider) with an animation based off of the "root" bone on their skeleton. Essentially, a character will move with their animation instead of snapping back when the animation is complete. Although it is necessary to perform this with functions such as ApplyForce() and LaunchCharacter(), it is often much easier to use root motion. If you are using Mixamo animations, the default skeleton (as well as the animations and the skeleton they are rigged to) does not support root motion. Instead, we must convert the skeleton and animations to a version of themselves with a "root" bone and root motion capabilities.
All credit for the plugin goes to Enziop. Here is the plugin link: https://github.com/enziop/mixamo_conv....
