Hello. I’m trying to apply a pose to a UE4 Mannequin i imported into blender.
I have the pose in FBX format. I couldnt find anything on youtube. I just want the UE4 Mannequin to do a base rifle pose.
In the mannaquin, select the amature.
Import the pose ( you might have to play with the settings a bit usually it will be the check for “Use Pre/Post rotation”…and under armature, check either Force connect children or Auto Bone rotation. You only need to worry about these settings if the Armature comes in distorted.
Open a Timeline if not already at the bottom of your screen… Click the Clock icon, and set the window to the Dope Sheet…
Change the type to Action Editor…
It should be automatic…but you might have to select the imported file…
Open this area and select the action you imported…
You can now save the pose if you wish, as an asset in the Pose Library…
Search for details on Using and Saving a Pose asset…

Thanks man. Will try this tomorrow.
Ok, followed everything you mentioned, played around with the import settings but nothing seems to actually apply the pose to the current armature. It imports a different armature beneath my mannequin/armature.
Are the armatures from different sources?
If so Try Expy-kit (FREE) to re-target the Pose from the imported armature to your armature…
so i have an fbx file which contians the mesh and an armature, then i have a fbx file which only contains the armature. ( Same armature and same mesh )
Mesh and armature were your mesh, and the armature alone is the Pose…
Select the armature in the Original…
Go to Action editor…
Pull down the section I showed you, and select what is in there…
What happens?
Can you share the file?
this is what happens do you have discord? i can show a video
No…
Did you use Miximo?
no. i use fbx"s from unreal
i will share the file 1 sec.
Then why not just add all the poses you want or animations also to the file in Unreal, and export that out as a single file?
ok new users cannot upload attachments
You could use a private message…click on my avatar…
But hold up…I just thought of something…
after you follow my steps…check the timeline and see if you need to move it to a key frame…
cannot see private msg just add me on discord
Still waiting on the updates to finish…
Took a bit. FBX still had all the 4 LODs in FBX, plus Ik bones all over ( I just hid them from view)
