    Hey freedom tried same process with different animals and animation, it's working but slight mismatch in animation. How to fix that please help me out

  2. ChuckPalomo Avatar

    Is there a difference between the root joint being at the center of mass (like the horse) or right below the pelvis (like the tiger)?

  3. Ali Eser Avatar

    okay…no goal – thank you so much for the vid!

  4. Andreea Bolojan Avatar

    Can i import an animal from ue4 with its animations, retarget them to another animal in ue5 and after can i import the new retargeted animal back in ue4?

  5. megtwin Avatar

    The animal I need to use does not have a root bone, does this mean this will not work?
