In this comprehensive step-by-step tutorial, I will demonstrate how to export skeletal meshes directly from external 3D modeling applications into the Unreal Editor. I'll delve into both keyframe animation import and mocap animation import within Unreal, ensuring we thoroughly explore this topic for your benefit. Although I will be using Autodesk Maya for this tutorial, rest assured that this method should apply to other DCCs. With a lot to cover, let's jump right in and get started.
