Let's Build the RPG! - 25 - How to Retarget Mixamo Animations to Unreal Engine 5 Mannequin
This episode covers my entire process for getting Mixamo animations into Unreal Engine 5 and completely set up and working with the Unreal Engine 5 Third Person Character Mannequin. I go over how to test the animation in the ThirdPersonCharacter AnimGraph after importing, as well as common issues experienced when playing animations, including issues with ControlRig IK (Inverse Kinematics for the feet and legs), and how to address them.
