My Blender To Unreal Engine Character Workflow | Tutorial
💥Support me and buy my game Punch A Bunch - Available on Steam NOW🥊 👉store.steampowered.com/app/15...
Many of you asked me to make a video about my Blender to Unreal Engine 4 workflow. You ask, I make! Here it is!
In this video I explain how I set up my characters with materials in Blender. I take you through the entire export process and bring it all into Unreal Engine.
We also explore the best way to get the right scale in Blender and how to set up Animation Retargeting in Unreal Engine.
:::: Helpful Videos ::::
I had to watch 10 videos on each problem and piece together the information from each to make everything work.. There are no helpful videos lol! I'm looking around for some good ones that will clarify things! Stay patient 🙏🙏🙏
If you have any questions, please drop a comment and I will help you :)
Hope you enjoy! Cheers!

If anyone is still having problems with the physics not working make sure before you export to “apply transformations” this is done by pressing “ctrl A” :)

following someone who started from scratch is helpful when you give the tips that normal tutorials would skip over because its considered normal industry knowledge

Hi from the future! In the future we're now on Unreal Engine 5.1 - If you're wondering how the scale is still getting jacked up with your model, and the capsules aren't lining up or you're getting 2/3 capsules, than fear not! Under the physics asset window where you see the capsules, you will need to go under Tools on the right hand side and under the "Body Creation" drop down go to: "Min Bone Size". My model's bones were too small, so adjusting this down to 0.07 allowed the engine to properly detect my tiny bones and compensate appropriately. Now every bone has a capsule.

Unreal Engine 5 supports GLTF import, you can get correct scale now with a simple export using that format without changing anything in blender! Just export as GLTF!

Explaining nuances "like the blender m vs cm issue" in videos like this is SO helpful!! Great Vid!
I’ve referenced these videos so many times and only just learned you’re the one behind A Difficult Game About Climbing! Congratulations man!! 🥳 Thank you for giving us all so much!
I love that you showed the actual mistakes and how to fix them. Too often people assume that just rambling off all the "right" things to do in checklist format is the best way to instruct. But more often than not I'm scrubbing through content trying to find where I 'messed' up in the list with no clue what I missed or where I went wrong. Then getting frustrated and having to walk away til my head clears. I really wish more tutorials took into account common mistakes (or even uncommon) during the instruction.
I dont know how I found this, I searched every single video for my problem. I couldnt export from Blender to Unreal... And I found this video! You are the God!!! I cant explain how happy I am right now. I spent hours trying to fix it and all I had to do is just to watch this video!
Thank you! That is valuable! One piece of advice - in Blender you can just hover over an object and press "L" it will select the whole piece under the cursor, no need to select poly and ctrl-L, it speeds up things considerably

THANK YOU for not making me watch you model something in blender for the first 15 minutes of this video. Straight to the point, great.
This is soooo helpful, I’ve been looking for a video like this for months. Thank you!
This is one of the best tutorials on that topic I've seen. Pretty detailed and with demonstration what goes wrong with invalid setup.
THIS 8 MINUTES OF MY LIFE WAS THE BEST THING I HAVE SEEN ALL DAY ON HOW TO GET MY MESH TO UNREAL ENGINE!
Best tuto ever and still perfect for UE 5.3 ! Thank you so much

I was so puzzled with character setup in unreal engine 4, this broke things down and made things so much more understandable, thank you for this tutorial. This is extremely helpful! 😊
Man, this tutorial was spot on, very well done. What version of blender are you using? I have been using blender and unreal for about a month but have mainly been focusing on blender due to not having a great setup for hardware. Point being, I really appreciate watching other people’s workflow and this was perfect. Thank you! Got yourself a sub here, keep it up. 🤙🏼

Coming back to this for help, and man this is still very helpful. Thank you very much Ponty.
Great tutorial. I'm a blender user for a long time and I'm learning unreal for some month. I started right now with characters and animations in unreal. Your tips will save me a lot of time. Thanks for sharing your workflow.
Honestly love you man. I was so hung up on so many things while trying to export to unreal that I nearly gave up. You are the gigachad of blender and unreal lol.
Dude the quality of your videos & thumbneils are way ahead of your channel I seriously thought you got a lot of subscribers or something, keep up the great content & you'll deflintly get there 👍😀
Wow, this is super helpful and fun to watch. Great channel!Thank you for sharing your hard earned knowledge!
Words can't describe how helpful this is! I struggled with importing multiple animations correctly and your tips saved me a lot of time! Thank you good sir :D
FANTASTIC video. Thanks to you I have achieved a correct workflow.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS IS THE ONLY PROCESS THAT I HAD NO ISSUE WITH IMPLEMENTING. U LITERALLY COVERED EVERYTHING. SUBBED
Thank you so much for this. Thought I was gonna have to buy a bunch of other stuff to use blender with UE4, gonna have to rewatch this step by step again but this is the best video I've seen so far!
Thank you!! Like a lot! by showing the little steps helps out so many people, and with good cuts as well. Again thank you! :D
Killllled it! Such a good tutorial with a lot of small hints that save a HUGE amount of time 👏🏼
This is genuinely the most useful and straightforward video I have ever watched you have saved my ass
nice video, very well structured, very comfortable pace. Thanks for making this helpful video!
Ponty, I don't usually comment on videos but I love you. I'm currently working on my first game and this was the first time I ever animated something myself. The whole day I've been sat here trying to figure out settings and nothing worked. Now, renaming the Armature to root solved everything. Thank you!!!!
Thank you bro!!! you helped me a lot in creating my own character's rig workflow! Stay blessed!🔥🔥🔥
This is the video I've been looking for a loooooong time. Neat and right to the point. Thanks!
Woooow best tutorial ever, super short and perfect for what i needed, explains really well I will fix alot of problems I had when importing and even for retargeting, its super fast! Before i was doing that all manually
Man, i'm so greatful for this video! I've ben passed many and many hours trying to import from blender to unreal! The solve was only to change the name "armature" to "root"! Thats a really good Tip! God Bless you! Thank you!
You literally saved my game. I was ready to give up. Thank you so much.
Fantastic tutorial! Thanks for your help!
Thanks, I've seen many tutorials on how to do some of these things individually, but this is a very good, comprehensive overview.
Thanks bro! I needed a good tutorial to make a video game! You are a lot of help!
Thanks bro! This is exactly what I've been trying to figure out for the past 3 days!

OMG, THANKS SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS TUTORIAL
Top tier tutorial! I usually watch tutorials on 1.5x speed and skip ahead but not on yours as it is jam packed with info! You're funny too! Rock on!
This is helping me weed through the intel i've gotten from other devs. THANKS BRAH!
Wow my friend you have saved me a lot of time. I like your style. Subbed!
Awesome Video :) Bcs of you I started even as Unity Fan Boy a new Unreal-Engine Playlist ☺️
Yooo, these are a lot of super helpful tipps! Thanks so much for the video! 👍

this video is gold. sure it misses some stuff, for example you need to have very specific conditions to be met with your characters rig in order to make the export work, but i tackled that problem with a different video, and after that, your tutorial went butter smooth. thank you!
IT IS SO SO HELPFUL INFORMATION THNX!
tip when exporting animations, export only the armature to prevent the mesh/materials being exported/imported alongside it.
I have to say thank u. Very very useful. Save tons of time
Seriously, it's a million dollar Content !!!
Awesome tutorial and a huge time saver. Thank you so much for spending the time making this!
Like your style bro, keep it up! Solid tutorial, I've been a blenderer for a while and want to try my hand at UE5, I figured knowing how to create your own assets is a huge thing with that.
Man wish I saw this video a few days ago, so many hours of headaches great vid!
ill try it this weekend. thanks alot sofar.

Thank you for this video, that is going to save me a lot of time.
Great video, nice work!
Great content mate! Keep up doing this great work!!
My worflow is a bit different. Don't rename the armature. Create a root bone instead at the bottom of your character or else two problems will arise. First, the armature will have a scale of 100 in unreal. Second you will not be able to use root motion. And when you model in blender, do it 100 times bigger then you normally would. This is the only way I could find to have a skeleton of scale 1.0 in unreal and I tried all sorts of settings combinations.
