Your MetaHuman skeleton should now have some of its spine bones remapped to match the UE4 Mannequin.ģ. You should now have both the UE4 Mannequin and your MetaHuman skeleton set to use the Humanoid Rig. It is shared by both masculine and feminine MetaHumans.īefore you can reuse Mannequin animations for your MetaHuman, you need to remap several bones on the MetaHuman skeleton, as shown below.įor each of the bones in the list below, select the appropriate bone to remap to from the Target dropdown:Ĭlick Save in both Skeleton Editor windows. The MetaHuman base skeleton is named metahuman_base_skel and is located in the MetaHumans/Common/Female/Medium/NormalWeight/Body folder. Open your MetaHuman's base skeleton, then repeat steps 1-4 above. For every Source bone, you can select a bone to remap to from its associated Target dropdown. This is where you can remap specific bones in the hierarchy. The table's columns will populate with Source and Target bones. From the Main Toolbar, click the Retarget Manager button.įrom the Retarget Manager panel, in the Set up Rig section, use the Select Rig dropdown to select Humanoid Rig. To display all the bones in this skeleton, from the menu at the top of the Viewport, click Character, then select the Bones option and enable the All Hierarchy option. In the Content Browser, go to the Mannequin/Character/Mesh folder, and open the UE4_Mannequin_Skeleton file. For example, the spine bones of a MetaHuman need to be remapped, whereas each hand's metacarpal bones do not since there is no data from the UE4 Mannequin that requires remapping. These skeletons have similar bone structures but, because MetaHumans have some additional bones, you need to remap these before you can successfully retarget them. Unreal Engine includes a humanoid rig that you can use with both skeletons.
In this step, you will use the Retarget Manager to set up the skeleton rig and reassign some of its target bones in the bone hierarchy.īoth the UE4 Mannequin and MetaHuman skeletons are bipedal humanoid characters. (Optional) If you want to use your MetaHuman as a playable character, complete the Using a MetaHuman as a Third Person Character in Unreal Engine guide first.

If you want to animate a Preset character using this method, you must create a new MetaHuman based on that Preset and download that MetaHuman instead.įollow the Getting Started with MetaHumans in Unreal Engine guide to download and export your MetaHuman to Unreal Engine. Preset MetaHumans do not come with these pose assets. Currently, retarget pose assets are only included with custom MetaHumans.
