Exporting Rigs from Unreal 4/ Ark Dev kit

13randO

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anybody had any idea how to export rigs from Unreal 4 into Maya, specifically the ARK Dev kit, as a few fellow students and I are making a mod for our capstone project. Any info would be much appreciated. So far, I can export the animations, but the joints and controllers don't show at all, if they even do. Realllly new to UDK 4. Cheers!

So you could export the skeletal mesh to get the skeletal information.

Past that, if the ARK toolkit uses standard Unreal Naming Convention, you could probably find a way to get it to work with the Animation Rigging Toolset. 

If you get past that, importing/exporting animations between engine and Maya wouldn't be too difficult. 

Here's a link to the A.R.T Wiki.

@13randO Hey man was just wondering if you figured out how to do it? I'm having the same problem trying to animate with one of their rigs from the dev kit and it has no controllers either
