Hello everyone, i would like to know how i can switch my character in UE4  WITH my animation from iClone , i explain : 

My character from iClone is going to UE4 : Everything is fine and the motion suit capture the data, but now i want to switch the skin of my character, and keep the animation , but its like the CcLivelink animation is not like a simple animation,

i can retarget the mesh of the new skin to the principal skeleton, but the 2nd skin do not take the animation from the LiveLink.  But it work on a 3rd person controller animation.

Hope you understand my problem :!

If I understand you correct , you have to add a LL BP to your 2nd Character (if it's not imported via LL) ... select the Character in the content manager , tick the LL button above and choose "create LL Blueprint for Character"
and
you have to change the name in Iclone or Unreal/LiveLink , the name of the Character you want to control over Live Link has to be exactly the same in IC and UE4. With changing the names , you can switch the Character in LL.

Thanks for your reponse, 

I do everything that is in the tutorial instead of rely the ThridPersonControler Animation BP, im trying to rely the CCLiveAnimation BP, but it doesnt seem to work 


In some i just need to swap the skin of my main character without lose my live link animation.

And yep i tried to apply the LL blueprint to the mesh of my 2nd skin but it do not seem to work too :s
