Retargeting the Reallusion Actorcore Skeleton to the UE5 Mannequin Aharon Rabinowitz 2025-06-16 | Actorcore makes the best mocap files around, but getting them to work with the Unreal Engine 4 and 5 skeleton can be hard, even with the new autoretargeting systems in Unreal Engine 5.5. In this video I'll show you how to fix the issues that come up in this process. I know this tutorial is a little niche, but I am putting it here to help me in the future and if it helps you too, even better!It's also not a perfect solution, so this is also my request to Reallusion to connect with the folks at Epic to see if they can get the autotargeting working for the Actorcore skeleton. It would save a ton of work and make your animations much more popular in the Unreal Ecosystem!
TUTORIAL | Cinematic Car Rig for Unreal Engine Aharon Rabinowitz 2025-01-16 | I've gotten a LOT of questions on how I rigged up the car in a recent animation I created in Unreal. I used a car rig from the FAB store called Cinematic Car Rig by Madgoat Studio. It is by, far, the easiest car rig to work with in Unreal for Cinematics (as opposed to runtime/gaming). In this video I show you how to set it up.- Cinematic Car Rig: fab.com/listings/0db1ab0c-da20-49dd-a286-e15ab1b70e07IMPORTANT: This is not a free product. I bought it a while ago and started using it recently. There are free rigs out there, but IMO none have a better balance of power and simplicity/ease of use.
