As a user
, like to add blend masks and blend profiles via data tables
, so that migrating them between skeletons is way faster.

More details about those Unreal Engine features can be found here, https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/blend-masks-and-blend-profiles-in-unreal-engine/.

As a User
, I want to set correct Skeleton retargeting options
, so that I don't waste time with using the correct settings during character integration.

Furthermore it can happen that wrong settings are chosen and in the Retargeter it looks okay but the stored AnimSequence still looks weird.

As my title import plugins doesn't allow to use BP,
hasn't been implemented yet?

If you download from master is not show script, if you download from rep all work.

As a user
, I like to add skeleton curves via scripts
, so that integrating my character is way faster then adding them all manually.

Describe the bug
After video #9 Working on Constraint Bones my characters feet are sunk into the ground a bit. I know we tried correcting the "floating" feet. I downloaded and used your v5.0 source code for UE 5.1 just to make sure I didn't mess anything up in the code and yet the feet remain a bit sunken. Also noticing something weird with the hands and IK? maybe but only in simulation, doesn't show in the skeleton.

To Reproduce
just simulate.

Expected behavior
I expected the characters feet to be level with the ground like you had solved at the end of the video.

Is it possible to bake a mesh as well into a uasset?
https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/meshbake/questions

As a Unreal Engine User, I don't know correctly, how to address ConstraintBones yet, so I would love a Script which adds the ConstraintBones to existing IKRig. Right now I am having trouble to convert the ConstraintBones from ALS to ALS-Refactored to match the VirtualBones for the IKRig ConstraintBones.

Hello, my Manny's right arm is not being animated when in the Default Overlay with the ALS system. I am using dyanikoglu's ALS-Community version of the Plugin. I also used your Plugin and followed along with the Editor Utility Blueprint parts. As far as I understand the Skeleton's are the same and thats pretty much all we've been working with at this point.

Mantling is awesome, Rifle Overlay and Pistol Overlays are good. I was thinking this is in the constraints but all the Animations look good on their own. I am unsure if this is an IK issue happening somewhere in the Community verson?

I followed along with the basic version of ALSv4 from the Marketplace and same thing. The right arm is not animated.

In this video, I demonstrate my issue. I have completed up to Episode #11.0.

Error in BP_SkeletonBoneFunctions function Add Root Bone

Describe the bug
Somehow constraining these VBs seem to impossible with the current implementation of the constraint solver.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add those VBs to the skeleton asset

((VirtualBoneName="VB foot_root",SourceBoneName="root",TargetBoneName="root"),(VirtualBoneName="VB foot_l",SourceBoneName="VB foot_root",TargetBoneName="foot_l"),(VirtualBoneName="VB foot_r",SourceBoneName="VB foot_root",TargetBoneName="foot_r"),(VirtualBoneName="VB hand_l_to_hand_r",SourceBoneName="hand_l",TargetBoneName="hand_r"),(VirtualBoneName="VB hand_r",SourceBoneName="VB hand_l_to_hand_r",TargetBoneName="hand_r"),(VirtualBoneName="VB hand_l_to_ik_hand_gun",SourceBoneName="hand_l",TargetBoneName="ik_hand_gun"),(VirtualBoneName="VB ik_hand_r",SourceBoneName="VB hand_l_to_ik_hand_gun",TargetBoneName="hand_r"),(VirtualBoneName="VB hand_r_to_hand_r",SourceBoneName="hand_r",TargetBoneName="hand_r"),(VirtualBoneName="VB hand_l",SourceBoneName="VB hand_r_to_hand_r",TargetBoneName="hand_l"),(VirtualBoneName="VB hand_r_to_ik_hand_gun",SourceBoneName="hand_r",TargetBoneName="ik_hand_gun"),(VirtualBoneName="VB ik_hand_l",SourceBoneName="VB hand_r_to_ik_hand_gun",TargetBoneName="hand_l"))

2. Try to use these constraint settings in the IK rig

((ConstraintBone="root",ModifiedBone="ik_foot_root"),(ConstraintBone="foot_l",ModifiedBone="ik_foot_l"),(ConstraintBone="foot_r",ModifiedBone="ik_foot_r"),(ConstraintBone="root",ModifiedBone="ik_hand_root"),(ConstraintBone="hand_r",ModifiedBone="ik_hand_gun"),(ConstraintBone="hand_r",ModifiedBone="ik_hand_r"),(ConstraintBone="hand_l",ModifiedBone="ik_hand_l"),(ConstraintBone="ik_foot_l",ModifiedBone="VB foot_l"),(ConstraintBone="ik_foot_r",ModifiedBone="VB foot_r"),(ConstraintBone="ik_foot_root",ModifiedBone="VB foot_root"),(ConstraintBone="ik_hand_gun",ModifiedBone="VB hand_r_to_ik_hand_gun"),(ConstraintBone="hand_l",ModifiedBone="VB ik_hand_l"),(ConstraintBone="hand_r",ModifiedBone="VB hand_r_to_hand_r"),(ConstraintBone="hand_l",ModifiedBone="VB hand_l"),(ConstraintBone="hand_r",ModifiedBone="VB hand_l_to_ik_hand_gun"))

Expected behavior
VBs are constrained correctly.

Describe the bug
https://youtu.be/w5mC82d3IqM

I tried to retarget skelenton from als-refactored to paragon or other characterf ollow the instruction from your tuttorial.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEpwDjWY2wI&list=PLslFX7TZAr89enRHIfJwUJJ_hJV8wX_8v&index=5
For other plugins like als-community or als original everything works great. But since the developer als-refactored has customized the virtual bone in the original, I have a hard time creating the constraint bone.
I dumbed ske's virtual bone in the als-refactored build:

((VirtualBoneName="VB foot_root",SourceBoneName="root",TargetBoneName="root"),(VirtualBoneName="VB foot_l",SourceBoneName="VB foot_root",TargetBoneName="foot_l"),(VirtualBoneName="VB foot_r",SourceBoneName="VB foot_root",TargetBoneName="foot_r"),(VirtualBoneName="VB hand_l_to_hand_r",SourceBoneName="hand_l",TargetBoneName="hand_r"),(VirtualBoneName="VB hand_r",SourceBoneName="VB hand_l_to_hand_r",TargetBoneName="hand_r"),(VirtualBoneName="VB hand_l_to_ik_hand_gun",SourceBoneName="hand_l",TargetBoneName="ik_hand_gun"),(VirtualBoneName="VB ik_hand_r",SourceBoneName="VB hand_l_to_ik_hand_gun",TargetBoneName="hand_r"),(VirtualBoneName="VB hand_r_to_hand_r",SourceBoneName="hand_r",TargetBoneName="hand_r"),(VirtualBoneName="VB hand_l",SourceBoneName="VB hand_r_to_hand_r",TargetBoneName="hand_l"),(VirtualBoneName="VB hand_r_to_ik_hand_gun",SourceBoneName="hand_r",TargetBoneName="ik_hand_gun"),(VirtualBoneName="VB ik_hand_l",SourceBoneName="VB hand_r_to_ik_hand_gun",TargetBoneName="hand_l"))

And here is the constraintbone that I created:
((ConstraintBone="root",ModifiedBone="ik_foot_root"),(ConstraintBone="foot_l",ModifiedBone="ik_foot_l"),(ConstraintBone="foot_r",ModifiedBone="ik_foot_r"),(ConstraintBone="root",ModifiedBone="ik_hand_root"),(ConstraintBone="hand_r",ModifiedBone="ik_hand_gun"),(ConstraintBone="hand_r",ModifiedBone="ik_hand_r"),(ConstraintBone="hand_l",ModifiedBone="ik_hand_l"),(ConstraintBone="ik_foot_l",ModifiedBone="VB foot_l"),(ConstraintBone="ik_foot_r",ModifiedBone="VB foot_r"),(ConstraintBone="ik_hand_gun",ModifiedBone="VB hand_r_to_ik_hand_gun"),(ConstraintBone="ik_hand_gun",ModifiedBone="VB hand_l_to_ik_hand_gun"),(ConstraintBone="hand_r",ModifiedBone="VB ik_hand_r"),(ConstraintBone="hand_l",ModifiedBone="VB ik_hand_l"),(ConstraintBone="ik_foot_root",ModifiedBone="VB foot_root"),(ConstraintBone="foot_l",ModifiedBone="VB foot_l"),(ConstraintBone="foot_r",ModifiedBone="VB foot_r"),(ConstraintBone="ik_hand_l",ModifiedBone="VB ik_hand_l"),(ConstraintBone="hand_r",ModifiedBone="VB ik_hand_r"))

The result is :(( :

As a user of the constraint solver
, I want not to deal with the order how bones are constraint
, so that I can setup the constraint bone list quicker for the solver.

As a user
, I want to remove unweighted bones from my skeletal mesh and skeleton
, to be able to adapt the unweighted bones (e.g. ik bones) to my project needs.

Feature was requested here #2 (comment).

As a ALS community user
, I want a data table row for Skeleton curves
, so that O have a smooth retargeting journey.

Within this issue I will try to get a MetaHuman working for ALS with the help of TTToolbox v0.4. I will not create a detailed step by step guide here, only create some notes for myself. I'm planning to create a proper video for it soon.

We can tweak the hand locations slightly with offsets

And with a custom pose (scaled the preview a little bit to match the rotations better)

As a User
, want to be able to active unweighted bones for a skeletal mesh that did not provide them
, so that I can get my locomotion system working quite easily without leaving the editor.

Hint: the UE4 female Manny did not provide active ik bones.

hi. when I add virtual bones to the ue5 SK_Mannequin, the skeleton changes to something strange. I also added Sockets and Constraints.
I have checked every bone name and every thing seems to be OK. It is in lyra. When I remove the virtual bones the skeleton gets fixed and there would be no problems.

As a Unreal Engine User, I want to address, that under DT_SlotGroups, the ALSRefactoredSlotGroups are missing, so here they are:

(SlotGroups=((GroupName="DefaultGroup",SlotNames=("DefaultSlot")),(GroupName="Grounded",SlotNames=("Transition","TurnInPlaceStanding","TurnInPlaceCrouching")),(GroupName="Locomotion",SlotNames=("PostLocomotion")),(GroupName="Layer",SlotNames=("Head","ArmLeft","ArmRight","Spine","Pelvis","Legs","Curves"))))
