Chiro UE4
"Chiro UE4" is a Blender add-on for skinning with Unreal Engine 4 Mannequin armature.
Who is it for
- 3D Artists, who want to skin their characters with the Mannequin skeleton
- Indie Game Developers, who want an easy way to swap an armature of a mesh with the Mannequin skeleton
Why we need it
- animation created for Mannequin may be reused
- blueprints created for Mannequin may be reused
- Mannequin skeleton may be reused
What it gives you
- Free software (as in freedom)
- Skinning with Mannequin compatible armatures
- FBX export made easy (with correct scale)
- Mixamo to Mannequin skeleton transformations automation
- A bunch of automations
What it does not do
The primary goal of this add-on is to make Skinning easy. If you need to animate your characters, you should consider using EpicGames Blender Tools for that (e.g. Unreal to Rigify).
