This works great for 5.4.3 as well. Friendly advice, make sure your Meta human is large in size to match manny in your project. Not sure if there is a work around, but I ended up having to restart half way through because my MetaHuman was not of the "Tall" variety.

Thank you for the tutorial. It's instrumental. The only thing is that there is no need to override events from the parent class. You just need to right-click on Event BeginPlay and choose Add Call to Parent Function. Then connect it to BeginPlay before Hair LODSetup.

Mizzo I'm having lot of trouble!!! I'm using UE5.3.2 with an inventory plugin that utilizes LYRA starter mannquins and content. I'm using the BP_thirdpersoncharacter_TEMPLATE that came with the (plugin) not using the same "BP_thirdpersoncharacter" that came with UE5.3. In (class settings) it wont even let me select BP_ThirdPersonCharacter. Only lets me use or select the BP_ThirdPersonCharacter_TEMPLATE that came with this inventory plugin. When I check the box for live retarget my character in the viewport does not show an animated idle pose like yours it just stays in Apose with BP_thirdpersonchacter_template model also in Apose in the viewport. When I do everything you do in RTG_mannytometahuman. It looks all messed up and all of the bones are all over the place Can't wrap my head around this I need help. I am actually willing to pay for help.

Followed the tuto to the letter on 5.3.2. Metahuman moves, but legs and arms don't. It's basicly stuck in idle animation while it moves around. Also, there was one option missing in my version, so I wasn't able to tick that 1 option, can't remember which one. It's crazy how Unreal changes every little thing with every update, it sucks using UE5 as a beginner.

Hey! Great tutorial, I have a quick question tho, when i got to the IK Retargeter called RTG_metahuman, the way it looks on the engine is not the same as it does to you. So when i open it, there's no skeletal mesh, nothing, just an empty viewport, and literally everything else is empty, no bone names, etc. Do you know why it looks like that?? Could it be because I'm using a female metahuman? Edit: Also the animation bp shows just the pants of the metahuman, not the whole metahuman, could that also be part of the issue?? I've imported the metahuman twice already thinking maybe it didnt import as it should, but it's still the same
