[@domenicocavalli73]

it would be great to have a tutorial on how to import different characters and use it with the Mixamo animations . Thanks.

[@unrealengine5-storm713]

If it has the same skeleton just use the same animation blueprint for each character

[@a.m.thepro4956]

@@unrealengine5-storm713 how though. when I change the skeleton it just stays in t pose

[@yanchobeats]

awesome! i would love to see you make a character model in ue, import it in mixamo, automate it and put in a environment in ue

[@GorkaGames]

great I will see when I can make it soon!!

[@Ethan348]

Hey, I've been following your videos for quite a while now. I felt like letting you know that you're doing an amazing job!

[@GorkaGames]

Thank you so much man!! I really appreciate those kind words!! 😄

[@andrikchausse1927]

He is indeed doing an amazing job

[@TheJMBon]

I've run into a TON or problems importing UE marketplace models into mixamo and getting new animations from mixamo into UE5. Nearly every time, the animation is wildly different (like a standing punch with no feet movement in Mixamo, when ported into UE, has the character animation look like a mix of doing the Waltz and a siezure at the same time). Every time, I have to first port the mixamo animation and UE character into Cascadeur and clean up the animation there. Porting from Cascadeur to UE works perfectly everytime so far.

[@ryanjordansound2290]

SAME!

[@iggorr25]

Very cool, would be great if you could make a video on how to combine a few animations after importing them...

[@cr4ftwork]

would love to see a vid about import your own char to mixamo ;)

[@GorkaGames]

great to know! is noted down for a future one!

[@あまね-y6t]

im looking forward to watching video about applying mixamo animation to whatever arbitrary skeltons! ive heard of the Unreal Engine 5 feature called Retarget, but since im beginner, it would be great to see it in your tutorial!

[@GorkaGames]

yeah absolutely! I actually have a retarget tutorial! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYCWfX2bqZujf8U Now it was made in the previous version of 5.0.3 so let me know if you have any problems

[@oasisbeats4428]

How do we replace our mixamo character with the third person character mesh? None of my animations play when I add mine using my abp

[@unknown_vanity1223]

Hey can you please make a tutorial on magic in unreal, as in the animation and the spell being casted.

[@GorkaGames]

yeah absolutely, that woulc be cool, i will note it down!

[@mettsandwich1506]

Great video! Could you make a video on how to make a clean jumping animation?

[@GorkaGames]

Thanks!! Do you mean animate it or implement it into the character in UE?

[@mettsandwich1506]

@@GorkaGames Im not really sure how to implement it into a blend space

[@gabitohlanz3257]

hii can you make a video to start a game from a menu and make the game last 10 minutes and after the 10 minutes are up the game ends and takes you back to the menu pleaseee?

[@GorkaGames]

yeah that actually would be a cool idea. The main thing that you need to do is to have a 10 min timer in your playable level that will activate on the begin play, and then when the timer is finished it will send an event which will load back to the main menu, which I actually have a tutorial on: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIisXmZsm66ierM

[@gabitohlanz3257]

@@GorkaGames yes thanks!

[@Sneaky2x]

Awesome video! Two ideas for next videos would be: - import a character to Mixamo and use auto rig - rig and animate a character in Unreal Engine since that is now possible with UE5 Control Rig Excellent work, you have helped me dive deeper into UE development, keep it up, nice content ;)

[@GorkaGames]

Thank you so much!! Yeah absolutely, I wil see when I can make them soon! I`m glad that you are finding my tutorials helpful!!

[@BigDaddyZhandt]

HELP!!! After carefully following this and several other tutorials, I have successfully failed at importing a Mixamo character in such a manner that when I hit play, I can see and use that character. What I continually get is the default mesh. How do I resolve this?

[@h0ppies614]

Hey im developing a game and when i was importing the animations at 5:45 it has an error saying that the mesh contains bone as root but animation doesnt contain the root track

[@vhk9117]

same did u fix it 8months after?

thank you for your amazing videos you are the tempo and personality we all need to learn this stuff!

[@gabitohlanz3257]

another little question hehe, do you know how i can add a music just on menu ?

[@GorkaGames]

yeah, you can just 1) drag the audio source into the scene and set it to "loop" 2) on the main menu`s level blueprint, on the begin play, add a "Play Sound 2D" node

as soon as i upload my charachter, it doesn't let me just down load the charachter in T-Pose.

Nahh! I also use this model but when I zoom out, on the back of the character there is a seam. Could you help me how to reject this?

[@yanchobeats]

What pc/laptop specs would you say is a decent enough to run eu5 and make lets say a shooter game? Keep up the great content, watching and liking every video you post 😄

[@GorkaGames]

thanks!! I would recommend min 16 gigs of ram, an intel from one of the last generations and from a gtx 1080 up which is pretty much what I have!

Hey can you create a video on how to export animations you created from unreal engine

[@KarZab97]

Hi Gorka! Are you going to make tutorial you mentioned in 1st minute? Custom characters from sketchfab (for example) ---> Mixamo ---> Unreal Engine

[@talhaylmaz1151]

thanks a lot for the video but i have an issue about inporting whatever I do i can't inport the animation in my porject. It says failed to import and failed to create asset (btw im using a meta human which i replaced sk_mannequin with the metahuman) please help me

[@sculptingtools339]

So the new UE5 version automatically creates a root-bone for the imported character?

Hello Sir, how to create fire and Co2 in unreal?

hi bro can you make a video for importing avatarsdk website character into unreal engine please, I am getting stuck problem, when I'm importing, it's getting too much time

[@ederluis123]

Thanks a lot!! :D

[@agustintoselli]

Hi my friend! Amazing videos all around, I’m learning game development with your information :) you rule Qq: is it safe to say that mixamo animations / characters can’t user other animations (like mannys for example). I keep failing at trying to root the ones from mixamo and started wondering if they are actually not compatible Thanks in advance! Cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷

[@shaman4874]

can i follow your tutorial while only downloading the animations from unreal marketplace?

[@RichieVichie]

Just a beginner here, why not directly import character with animation ?

[@graceinformmotion8886]

i followed exactly but when i put my character into sequencer and add animation, it still stuck at T pose. Then I download another character and different animation did the same import and now when I drop character into sequencer , add animation, the animation works but the body is stetched.

[@THIZZ0IN0PEACE]

Same issue, going through different videos and different process to find the right one. This one did not do it for me.

[@SotiW14]

Why did the slots for materials disappear after importing into Anril, after Mixamo, there was only one left, but there were five, how can I assign a material now?

[@firebirbeuh]

You could also teach us how to import blender animations

[@shakir0x00]

Thanks for the video ❤️….

[@GorkaGames]

my pleasure!!

[@urmetivask3997]

how did you get the tecxtures to show in mixamo, it's usually blank white, when i upload a custom character to mixamo, i've tried all kinds of folder zippings and stuff, no luck

[@GorkaGames]

yeah, what you have to do is to select "embed textures" when you export the mesh from Blender

[@mejoratuportfolio5990]

do you know why whn I import the animation , when i put import or import all the UE5 say " failed to import C/Users...... Dancing fbx . Failen to create asset . Please see output for details?

[@GTORT]

I get the same

[@OfficialGames4Everybody]

When I import anims it crashes UE entirely, why is this?

[@RonFlxsh]

ic seem to import my character with its textures? any help would be appreciated

[@mylalam6510]

@Gorka Games, Hi seems that I am the only one that have this problem, when import the animation from mixamo into unreal engine I keep getting the msg that import is not sucess, it is not possible to click on import/import all, I follow your video and do everything the same, I just dont know why I cant import to unreal engine, pls help.

[@AliBounds]

Awesome video

[@GorkaGames]

thank you man!!

[@PANDA-wz8fz]

I love how i do the same thing as you do and if i dran it in nothing happens 😂😂😂😂😂 love tutorials like this

[@thomashealy5990]

do you have a blender version of this video for importing fbx rigged character to UE5.1? I've modeled, rigged, and animated my characters in blender and every export/import tutorial is for ue4 or early ue5 so they're basically useless.

[@Chill_Comrade]

Can you make a tutorial on how to make this character the playable character, i would really appreiciate it because i just started unreal engine 5 also can it be using the deafult character maniquen that unreal engine automaticly assignsa you to a 3rd person template because im not good at coding, thanks so much if you read this and i hope to see this tutorial soon!!!

[@BrandomDev]

Great tutorial, quick and to the point! Works perfectly thank you!

[@prince04170]

Not showing "add new state machine" in animation blueprint could you please help me 😭

[@2solid4tv48]

So you don't need a cut out?

[@borrowedtruths6955]

The mixamo animations are so short that I need to add several of them in a row in the sequencer, and then adjust the root motion from the previous clip to match. How can I make say a walk motion last longer?

[@textik5821]

you could create an animation montage, and put as many of the walk animation as you need in it, just grab the anim and drag it in. they might not blend together well though

[@borrowedtruths6955]

@@textik5821 Yes, I've tried that, and you're right, they don't blend together very well.

[@ChristopherBaldwin-t4w]

I managed to break all of my animations by clicking "yes to all" instead of cancel when given the warning "FAILED TO MERGE BONES: This could happen if significant hierarchical changes have been made e.g. inserting a bone between nodes. Would you like to regenerate the Skeleton from this mesh? ***WARNING: THIS MAY INVALIDATE OR REQUIRE RECOMPRESSION OF ANIMATION DATA.*** " I don't suppose anyone have a solution to fix the damage I've done to myself? Would rather not have to build everything again from scratch.
