How to Replace Manny with Your Custom Character in Unreal Engine 5.8 | Complete Tutorial
🔥 Learn how to replace the default Third Person Manny character with your own custom playable character in Unreal Engine 5.8!
In this step-by-step tutorial, I'll show you how to swap the default Third Person Template character with your own custom character and make it fully playable in Unreal Engine 5.8.
You'll also learn how to fix the common deformed character issue by correctly configuring the Skeleton Translation Retargeting settings, ensuring your character works perfectly with the Third Person Template animations.
For this tutorial, I'm using a custom Quinn character that was rigged with the UE5 Skeleton in Autodesk Maya. If you'd like to learn how I created the rig, be sure to check out my previous Maya rigging tutorial.
