The way Blender will associate vertices of a mesh with a particular bone (armature) is via the use of vertex groups.Ī good resource to refer to when dealing with Vertex Groups in Blender is the Blender manual page: Where possible it is best to use this skeleton (names and hierarchy) to make animation retargeting easier. This skeleton is the default UE4 skeleton. blend file includes all of the armatures (bones) for inclusion in the character. This will include making sure the character is skinned and rigged for exporting. You can see the UE4 bone structure in the default skeleton hierarchy on the left of the above screen shot taken from UE4. This is very similar to the mesh and skeleton from the UE4 default Mannequin.
