Any tips for someone exporting Blender animations/characters in general to UE?

[Wave]

Here are some animations I made over the past week:

The ones that start and end in the idle pose I plan to export to Unreal
I took the recent character animation course but I see it mostly covered Unity for the export part

From what I understand, you could run into many issues if you do not export right from Blender, so I just wanted to best prepare myself when the time comes to start developing my dream game in UE

Animations may look a bit rough but I plan to refine them in Unreal, or at least see what can be done with them. If there’s anything about these animations or this particular character that could be improved upon I’m all ears! I’m always looking to improve.

I learned so much from gamedev.tv, I really really appreciate the work the team does. Knowledge is power!

There are actually a number of topics here about this import process. I don’t know much about UE, but I did bookmark a few things here and there as this is a fairly common question in the Blender forum:

My character is done! (took 3 months) and I sent it to Unreal

Actually, I sent it to Unreal. The two following link pretty much gave me all the info I needed: [Blender(2.8/2.9):THE FUNDAMENTALS of Exporting Rigged characters to Unreal, Unity, or ANY GameEngine] [Import Rigs & Animations (BLENDER to UNREAL)]

What is the proper workflow for 3D models -> Game?

I am planning on making a modular low poly game. I am going to create the models in Blender (Environment, Characters and Character Rigging) and then build the actual game using Unreal Engine 5. What is the standard workflow supposed to be for indie gamedev? What’s the best practice for indie game developers: Do I create the whole level and it’s characters (with lighting) in Blender and just drop it into Unreal Engine, after which I create the gameplay code with blueprints? Or is the best way…

Importing Animations (armature only) FBXs bugged from Blender to Unreal Engine 5

Hey there, Im almost done with the Course “Blender Complete Animator” (https://www.gamedev.tv/courses/blender-complete-animator). Now on one of the last lectures called “Exporting FBXs” Grant shows us how to export our Blender mesh and animations to fbx files so we can use them in game engines. In total we have 4 exports: Character Idle And Mesh (Includes Meshes and Idle Animation) Character Run Cycle (Only armature export) Character Trust Animation (Only armature export) Character Double Swe…

Good luck =)
