FAST MetaHuman Retargeting in UnrealEngine 5 (IK Retargeter)

UPDATED tutorial here:
• Metahuman as ThirdPers...
A FAST Method for Retargeting Animations to MetaHumans
without creating IKRigs by cheating.
Recently the "Retargeting Manager" was removed from
Unreal Engine 5. In this video, I explore retargeting Mixamo animations
using the new IK Retargeter and IKRigs.
* Thanks to Leopard Dev for showing me how to alter assets.*
It got me thinking and I then came up with this solution.

If you use the new Third Person Template and animations for the Manny and Quinn skeletons, you do not need retargeting because the skeleton structure of Manny/Quinn (SK_Mannequin) is very similar to MetaHuman structure. There is a simpler solution. Firstly, I tried to retarget these animations to MetaHuman skeleton, but I had some small problems. Then I discovered that it is possible to simply assign Manny skeleton directly to MetaHuman skeleton. You can then use any animation compatible with Manny/Quinn and it will work perfectly! Do the following steps: 1. Locate the MetaHuman parts (Body, Feet and Legs), but do not touch Torso and Face (as these parts share a skeleton with the Body). 2. Right-click on it and find "Skeleton -> Assign Skeleton" in context menu. 3. Select "SK_Mannequin" and click "Accept". 4. Click OK if you are asked to select additional bones. 5. Save the modified mesh. 6. Done! You can now use these meshes and assign Manny/Quinn animations to them. You can also read the documentation on how to use modular characters correctly. Search for "Working with Modular Characters" in UE documentation. Also, if you want to retarget animations, that are not compatible with SK_Mannequin (from Mixamo, for example), I recommend you to retarget them to SK_Mannequin instead of retargeting directly to MetaHuman skeleton. Because retargeting animations to MetaHuman skeleton may cause some problems, for example, the animation files become very large and take a very long time to import and export and corrupt some parts of MetaHuman (for example, the animation affects the hoodie strings when it shouldn't do so).

[@Jobutsu]

I did not get consistent results this way. I experimented with alot of MetaHumans and animations for different sources. It does not matter anyway, UE 5.1 has an improved system that now has interchangeable Skeletal Meshes inside IKRigs and the retargeter. So we are an update away from every current workaound, not being required anymore.

[@Jobutsu]

I tried this again with release and have been getting near perfect results. Well done you and shame on me :D

[@Corey3D]

I also tried to retarget a Metahuman to the Third Person template's Manny and animations look okay, however, when I enter play mode for some reason my character's feet are stuck on the ground ( or just straightened out) even while running/jumping. I guess it's due to IK trying to force the feet on the ground. Any idea on this? Quite new to Unreal overall so any suggestions would be nice.

I've been following your videos since UE5 has offcially released. Super helpful! Thank you! You might have seen the City Sample Crowds in the marketplace and the video that JSFILMZ did on it. Would you mind exploring those and making a video about it? Wouldn't it be awesome to utilize their animations in other characters or create a character from that blueprint and add mixamo animations?

[@Jobutsu]

I did not watch the people playing the demos, had to get healthy then get back to work. I had some R&D time with the CitySample (crowds mainly) and swapped out the characters with custom ones. It was pretty easy to figure out. UE5 crashed on me repeatedly though. I will add your suggestion to the list. I am taking time this week to actually create things in UE5 instead of doing tuorials, so I will look after that.

Yes and I do not have a solution at this time. I am working on one.

[@ibrews]

this is really excellent. well done! is it true that the UE5 Manny has the same skeleton though as MetaHumans ?

[@Jobutsu]

Similar and you can use the new compatible skeletons functionailty, instead of doing it this way.

[@jeff_holmes]

Thanks for such a clear and straightforward explanation! What's the easiest way for a noob like me to add more animations (like walk and run) to that list where you chose which animation to retarget and export? Thanks again!

[@Jobutsu]

I would suggest buying animation packs from the Epic Marketplace. You can then retarget from UE4 or UE5 animations onto your Metahuman.

[@jeff_holmes]

@@Jobutsu Thanks! Although I was wondering about the retargeting process itself. Is it just a matter of putting the new animations into the same folder as the Idle, and then it would show up in the list of available animations? And do the new animations need to have certain features?

Using a metahuman: Too noob question since I just started learning ue5 for cinematic purposes. I am having the hardest time to animate an hand IK based on an actor pivot. Basically a hand hovering a sphere. I tried to use the edit pivot tool so I can rotate the hand as expected, good for posing, but while keyframing it fails preseving arcs. I would parent the hand ik to an null object, or offset the hand ik controller to achieve what I want but nothing worked so far. Any suggestions?

[@Jobutsu]

I am a visual person, without seeing the problem in front of me, It is unlikely I can help.

Hi Jobutsu, Hope you recovered...Thanks a lot for your time, nice tutorial that perfectly works for me.

Hi, excellent video... but i couldn't make it.... i don't have the "imported Skeleton" section in the bulk edit via property matrix. what should i do in this case? i use unreal 5.2.1

[@Tenchinu]

any clue on how to do this with meshes made in blender? have been hitting my head against the wall attempting to bring the clothes I made in blender to the character I imported from blender, both with the same skeleton, but if I import them separately Unreal 5 tells me they have different skeletons and they cannot merge. So, if I have different outfits for the same character, apparently I have to import the same character with different outfits instead of just the outfits??? Your explanation was really good... but no idea how to apply it to this problem :(

[@Jobutsu]

1. Check skeleton hierarchy to see if the match. 2. Makes sure "add leaf bones" is unchecked in blender export options. 3. Make sure imported Skeletal mesh has correct bone rotation. 4. You can also right click on the imported clothes skeletal mesh and Assign Skeleton, assign the base MetaHuman Skeleton to it. Without an example, those are my guesses.

[@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz]

If you have imported the character with a skeleton, can you not when you import the clothing select the charaters skeleton and NOT create one?. I maybe wrong BUT I believe that then use's the selected skeleton at import
