1. Import mechanical animations to UDK pipeline

   

   Topic by SopMod · Jul 2013 · Home› Unreal Engine

   Hello folks, quite new here, great forum you got here :) . I have a quite simple question. I am aiming to import an animation to UDK of a button being pressed. The animation would be quite complex, spinning wheels, moving objects etc. Do I have to create bones for everything, or do I just use morph targets or something?…

   Use bones for sure. It'll be way easier to get it working in UDK ... unless you already animated the geo straight up.

   You should be able to export the existing geometry as it's own bones. I'd give that try first. Which program is the original animation in?

   I found out that it's a lot easier when I put single bone as a root of the whole setup, export it with FBX and import it to UDK. Then it works :) . I guess it's some kind of a trick.. Thanks!
