[@awesomegames_333]

Thank you so much for creating this video. Now with this knowledge I'm able to create animations for my UE5 Short movie series now! Keep up the great work love ya ❤

[@spotiLEO]

Share your progress kindly

[@user-cw3nb8rc9e]

Amazing stuff. Not trivial to do it. Thanks for taking your time to share priceless tricks.

[@CobraCode]

Thank you! This did take a lot of time to research, but I learned so much about retargeting in the process!

[@davidblissett5315]

Super Awesome. I was thinking to do the Retargeting in Maya, but Unreal Engine's Retargeting has come along way in the past few years. Well done Epic. Great video.

[@CobraCode]

Thanks. Yeah it used to be much more painful with UE4

[@Satwr]

Ich hab durch deine Videos schon viel gelernt vielen Dank dafür!!

[@CobraCode]

:D Danke, das freut mich sehr

[@bigdaddystrokes]

Thank you so much for creating this video. It actually works and I managed to get my metahuman to move! Only thing letting me down now is the inability to use smoothing in deepmotion! Thank you though dude! great job

[@kickassmovies5952]

Thanks for this awesome Tutorial 🎆

[@vsevolodmetelsky1275]

This is gold, thank you for sharing! Would you happen to have an advice on where to look for good videos that can be used with DeepMotion?

[@GrossAnatomy]

AMAZING VIDEO!

[@fabulousshades7723]

Thank you very much sir , I will try Retargeting body animation first .i think facial animation is very difficult.

[@CobraCode]

Yeah getting facial animations right is quite challenging and also took me a while to figure out.

[@drJasii]

I was planning to buy it, but since there is a lack of production in tutorials for newer releases of ue5.1 I will not be spending money to work with outdated tutorials like this one as I couldn't move the bones in the t pose phase.

[@user-yy6dg4fq6x]

This tutorial is great. I just have a question. Currently, we need to apply more than 4,000 of these animations. Is there a way to do this process all at once in macro format?

[@CobraCode]

You could probably write an editor plugin for UE or extend the editor functionality with Python to achieve that. It's a whole can of worms to open up though.

[@coolgames3231]

It’s going to require tweaking, but it’s a good start.

[@mazreds]

Very useful. Please can you provide for download the Unreal IK Rig and IK Retargeter you built this way, just to simplify the process? Thank you in advance.

[@nymarekintvilik8371]

Too long process with deepmotion preferable to do with xsens or rokoko

[@user-cw3nb8rc9e]

By the way. Do you know how to convert Mixamo body anims to Metahuman UE 5.x ? Most videos are out of date on youtube.

[@CobraCode]

I haven't touched mixamo in a while, but most of the principles in this video will carry over and I think you also should be able to get mixamo animations to work following these steps. Only the bone names will differ a bit.

[@buddhvanshgautam5950]

i am unable to find anim to play option in animation section of deatails menu plese help me

[@animashaunafolabi1431]

I can't do this on my own account what version is ur deepmotinon mine is version4.2.1

[@dominckmaddox7439]

Can you make a second part to this on how to add metahuman and retargetted anim to a sequencer in 5.1

[@LSY98989]

Hey, can I play a animation sequence using this? I have an animation sequence for ARKIT character I want get it to work on my custom character

[@scobelverse]

So, I'm curious. DeepMotion now has a UE5 model in their asset list. How does this change the process? Also, is there a reason a template for this couldn't be provided by DeepMotion? Wouldn't the process be the same for every MetaHuman?

[@CobraCode]

Hey, it's been a long time since I used this, so I'm out of the loop at this point and don't really know about the new updates.

[@scobelverse]

@@CobraCode no worries out of curiosity are there any other tools that you’ve used recently that you like better?

[@CobraCode]

@@scobelverse Over the last year or so I actually doubled down on 2D and 2D/3D hybrid games, so I haven't had to worry about 3D animations for a while!

[@mariomokarram7570]

There is no more root when importing as of feb/24. The video does not achieve anything because the Deep motion skeleton has changed.

[@leasam5841]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@visualdrip.official]

great video! can i connect to live link face after this process?

[@CobraCode]

I haven't tried it, but I believe you probably can! All the live link nodes in the anim blueprint of the face are untouched and should still function.

[@visualdrip.official]

@@CobraCode thank you ! Do you use live link ? If so can you make a tutorial for all these working together with audio as well ?? Please !

[@devangmapuskar]

unable to rotate pose

[@marcapouli7805]

Another appealing stuff I can't access...

[@srulytyberg3542]

why am i missing my anim file when importing fbx?

[@CobraCode]

If the anim file doesn't show up it means that something couldn't be processed and imported properly. You might need to apply the fix shown here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3LakoxumJasY6c

[@LanD_87]

hello good job and nice site deep motion thats better than iclone at 700$ haha would you be able to tell me how to create as an animation compilation instead of it executing a single animation attrited to several? a few things like she walks she stops smokes a cigarette then leaves or something i can do a chain with rig but i want to know if it is possible to add several animations instead of repeating a single one in a loop

[@ScottBarrettihq]

There is no root in the deep motion skeleton - starts at hips
