Unreal Engine 5.3 - Adding a skeleton to a mesh - Quick Tip

[@IgorKu-m4o]

The first thing you need to do is enable the Skeletal mesh editing tools plugin !!! For a long time I didn’t understand why I didn’t have a conversion button !

[@CHIPPED_Games]

THANK YOU!

[@bubblejuiceTV]

Thanks :)

[@michaelchang6963]

Oh man, NONE of these videos about this topic mentioned this, I was going crazy looking for that button, thank you!

[@antongranik]

OMFG! Thank you for this comment! I spent 1 hour, trying to edit this f...ng skeleton of my mesh.

[@AGamerPS3]

Learning Unreal Engine currently, KZbin is my teacher. Thanks for showing me how to make my rough sketch of a dog move.

[@Phoenix_VR]

Years....for years I've been begging Unreal Engine to have this feature.....I can't express how awesome it is to finally have it

[@JonathanWinbush]

Good stuff, they are making it so you don't have to rely on DCCs for small things like this anymore

[@edtcg]

Thanks Jonathan! Its so cool to be able to do more in the same place. Unreal Engine is fast becoming a DCC.

[@GhtPTR]

DCC? Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders?

Oh... ok... slightly disappointed but ok, makes sense 🤩@@griglog

[@GankablePlayer]

Exactly what I was looking for to get started experimenting. I can now make my stickman character modeling / animating everything inside unreal. All I was finding was full character skeleton tutorials, usually imported from another program. Thanks for doing this.

[@kevinquinonez1510]

Thank you for the tutorial, i look forward to seeing more videos related to this new feature in unreal.

[@BingGeaux]

@4:35 - NFS! Brilliant, mate!

[@moisesdelcastillo6703]

Love your content. Keep making content. I love your platform and you have so much wisdom to share to young up and coming filmmakers.

[@edtcg]

Thank you I really appreciate the kind words!

[@XxKherxX]

Love this format Ed! Keep it up!

[@edtcg]

Thank you! More to follow!

[@raykenney0562]

Bro Casually Forgot to Tell you to add the Plugins!!! In case you are wondering where the convert to skeletal mesh button is missing just add the skeletal mesh plugins

[@jamaalsineke2405]

Thank you for making this. Do you know if you can retarget animations from blender to the rigs you create in skeletal editor?

[@edtcg]

Yes, retargeting is great in UE now, much easier

[@baukepoelsma]

Can somebody help me with 2 interface problems? When i right click on a static mesh in the content browser, the "convert to skeletal mesh" option is not showing. And when i double click on a skeletal mesh, the blue "Editing Tools" button is not showing...?? Edit: turns out you need the "skeletal mesh editing tools" plugin enabled, cheers

[@edtcg]

@@baukepoelsma just came here to say that glad you found it!

[@ORTyOW]

Is it possible to copy other skeleton and paste it to a new in this tool?

[@tubicidio]

Hi, how can you add separate meshes to the same armor, for example to create the skeleton of a weapon with magazine, Shell ejector, trigger etc?

[@hotsauce7124]

Hello, can you please do a tutorial for using morph targets with Control rig? Face morph targets with Control Rig. And a bicep flex with Control Rig?

[@KylezUwU]

I don't have the editing tools button?

[@krasnavin]

How did you get to editing tools in skeletal mesh viewport? I am trying to add bones. Did you add a plugin to UE5.3?

[@humanngan91]

yeah, the plugin is called skeletal mesh editing tool

[@NabrocTheGreat]

after hour maybe start with that i modded this would be nice.

[@Owl_UA_Unreal]

Wow mate i learned something new, thanks!

[@Longbowan]

Any reason why your bones would disappear in the Skeleton Tree after applying your skin to the bones?

[@thomaswindfeld728]

Just starting out with UE. That was great! Thanx! 🙂

[@thomaswindfeld728]

Hi again. So I opened up UE 5,3 and there is no blue editing tool box thingi. Yes I clicked on the "skeleton mesh". So I don't have the tools for editing and creating the skeleton. Any ideas? :-) Thanx again!

[@stargamesstudio66]

Thank you! So very helpful!

[@beyondkhan8459]

좋은 튜토리얼이었습니다. 감사합니다.

[@24vencedores11]

NICE! PLEASE HOW TO ANIMATE IN SEQUENCE

[@UrielHK]

Is anyone having problem with sockets attached to the bones created in unreal? Attached components to those sockets always displays in the root bone of character

[@UrielHK]

I was getting the wrong mesh LOL

[@TheTimeReaper]
