Unreal MoCap Asset Pack Help

This page contains information and help related to our Unreal Engine MoCap asset packs. Our UE asset packs include animations retargeted to the UE mannequin character. All the animations have been recorded and carefully edited so that they loop at the end making them easy to use in your project without too much effort.

ROOT MOTION & IK BONES
The animations all include root motion baked into them should you wish to use this in the engine. The rigs IK bones are also included and have been constrained to move with the hands and feet.

SUPPORTED UE VERSIONS
The animations were created with motion capture, cleaned in motionbuilder and imported into UE 4.24. They have all been 'migration' tested in subsequent versions of UE to ensure compatibility.

SOURCE FBX FILES
Included in the asset pack, you will also a folder called Source_FBX which contain the FBX files ( accessible from your OS file explorer ). You can use these should you wish to modify the animations in an external application or import them into earlier versions of Unreal Engine than v4.24.

UNREAL MANNEQUIN & T POSE
Included in the asset pack is a copy of the official Unreal Engine mannequin. This is needed for the successful import of FBX files that are retargeted ( see video tutorial below ) to the mannequin and for the retargeting to other characters within UE. If for any reason you do not have this in a project then can find it on the Unreal Marketplace for free.

We have also placed animations in the folder of the mannequin in an A pose and a T Pose. This can be useful for reference when retargeting in UE and other applications.
