DevLog 07 - AutoRigPro to UE5 (My First Blender Rig!)

Описание: It’s my first attempt at rigging (coming from a Maya background), and I go through the full process: setting up the rig, dealing with weird leg merges, weight painting chaos, exporting to Unreal Engine, and finally retargeting animations between characters.

If you’ve ever been scared to try rigging in Blender... this might make you feel better 😅
