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” :)

    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.

    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.

    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.
