I am hoping somebody here might know the answer to an issue I am struggling to solve with iClone with LiveLink animation transferring to UE5.1 I have an object (paintbrush) attached to the hand of a character in iClone so that it animates along with the hand. Everything works fine in iClone but not in UE5.1 ... in UE5.1 the hand animates but the paintbrush does not. Any ideas why?
