Fix Metahuman Retargeting - UnrealEngine 5.1

[@Restrictz]

You are a lifesaver, I've tried allot of things, like changing the base pose, adding key point to my animations to no great success, I will try this first thing tomorrow. Thanks allot

[@Wilkoooo]

Thank you so much dude! This was an absolute life saver! :) and thanks for explaining it so beginner friendly! :) ✌️❤️

[@kyungseomin]

Thank you for the fast response! How do you have this "source/target" window on the left at the IK Retarget page? I see in the last video its not there, I don't have it as well. And the "Blend to source is not an option for me. How did you update this? Cheers

[@Jobutsu]

Are you using UnrealEngine 5.1 ?

[@chukwuodinaka646]

Please which Microphone Brand and Model are you using? It sounds so clear.

[@Jobutsu]

I can not remember what I used for this video. Now I use Shure sm7b.

[@Strawboie]

Hey, thanks that really helped me. Is there any reason to not turn the "Blend to source" all the way up to 1?

[@Jobutsu]

It is just the maximum.

[@LeandroOliveira3D]

Hi, man! Thank you for one more incredible tutorial! I´m trying to find a way to retarget UE4 animations to a DAZ character inside Unreal 5.1. I followed a couple of tutorials, but no success... Any clue?

[@Jobutsu]

I think, it is partially covered here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jamceWalhL13lbs

Hi! What about fingers 🤞🤌 twisted after retarget from ue5 quinn/manny ?

[@olisvideodump8869]

This almost answers my question, I have the opposite problem, my target animation is shorter than the metahuman I'm trying to retarget too. so she's squatting down to where the other characters pelvis level is. similar fix for this or different? thanks Oli.

[@Jobutsu]

On the chain mapping tab, click root settings. From there, carefully play with scale vertical and/or Blend to source.

[@zurasaur]

could you let me know the best current method for mixamo animations to metahumans please?

[@Jobutsu]

I will have a tutorial in the future.

[@eduderino4032]

@@Jobutsu Hey man, really enjoying your tutorials. Any news on this specific one (Mixamo to MetaHuman)? I've followed others but there is always some minor offset, for example in the arms. Would love to have your tutorial on this. :)

[@elstinopacino]

Jobutsu, any chance you could tell me what to do? I have the problem in 5.1 that my Metahumans shoulders are quite quite stretched and since the clavicle is not set to IK I cant blend to source. It have found some documentation which says to put everything in the skeleton to retarget to skeleton except for root and pelvis to retarget to animation which I've seen to work in the videos but it doesn't do the trick for me Much appreciated! (I can see how many people comment on your videos so no hard feelings if you don't find the time :p)

[@Jobutsu]

Try turning IK on and off in the IKRetargeter and see if that makes a difference. If it does turn IK on and off for the arm chains. If that works the the problem is in the arm chains.

[@elstinopacino]

@@Jobutsu I fear it didn't change anything for the better. I'm just going to go through the whole thing again from scratch in a new project! Thanks for the quick reply and for all the tutorials

[@mdp7193]

I've been having the same issue and have not found no conclusive solution yet... I saw someone saying it's because my first character is originally in a T-pose and the second one in an A-pose, is that the case for you as well?

[@Jobutsu]

@@mdp7193 If the character is posed correctly in the IKRetargeter that should not be an issue.

[@elstinopacino]

@@mdp7193 hmm originally the pose was different but I did edit the pose the be the same. I actually did fully redo the whole thing afterwards and had no issues anymore

[@FatalisArx]

[@Kastro_7777]

Hi ! When i retarget from ue5 mannequin to metahuman all animations look like they worked (in preview) however when I replace the thirdperson blueprint with my metahuman and start game my legs look like they barely move , makes my character look like he is skiing lol can you please show how you would replace the ue5 mesh with metahuman to use in game ?

[@CT_Game]

hi! how can i fix foot ik in 5.1? I tried your tutorial it only works in ue5. Thank you so much

[@Jobutsu]

I will be looking at this next month, time permitting.

[@CT_Game]

@@Jobutsu Thank you so so so so so so much

[@Mantikator]

do you know a good way in unreal 5.1 to mirror animation sequences? I know how you can do it during runtime, but in our case it would be easier to work with actually mirrored assets

[@Jobutsu]

1. Load animation into a sequencer 2. In the animation sequence properties create/select and use a Mirror Data table 3. Bake the resulting animation to a a new animation sequence.

[@Mantikator]

@@Jobutsu thanks for the advice, but I guess I have to do it for each sequence individually then. Actually I want to mirror the whole Kubolt spear locomotion except aiming ^^

[@SahithNayudu]

Any solution for 5.0?

[@rixread]

Is this only available in 5.1?

[@Jobutsu]

Yes. There were many improvements to the IKRetargeter in 5.1

[@riotechmod]

@@Jobutsu waiting for your in depth tutorial

[@Jobutsu]

It is difficult because, the new tools were developed by experienced animators for experienced animators. I am not that.

[@riotechmod]

Please forgive me for lots & lots of crashes. ❤️

[@Jobutsu]

Overclocked ram was the problem. Problem resolved.

[@riotechmod]

@@Jobutsu nice 😅..

[@davidepstein06]

Is it worth upgrading to windows 11 for 5.1?

[@Jobutsu]

I can not tell you that yet.
