Skeletal Avengers for iPod Installation: A Step-by-Step Guide

When it comes to setting up Skeletal Avengers on your iPod, there are several steps you'll need to follow. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of installing and configuring Skeletal Avengers on your device.

First, start by hooking up the output to the final animation pose input. This will allow you to specify which hand (right or left) and skeleton to use for the animation. You can do this by changing the dropdown selection in the OpenInput settings.

Next, go to the Anim Graph for the anim blueprint and drop in an Apply_OpenInput_Transform animation node. Re-parent the class to the OpenInputAnimInstance class to ensure that everything is properly configured.

For each hand mesh, set the mesh and animation blueprint for the mesh. Leave the rest of the settings default for now, as you can fine-tune them later if needed.

If you have a custom action manifest generation, add the action names in. If not, they will be automatically filled with my defaults.

Load in your pawn and under each motion controller, add an OpenInputSkeletalMeshComponent. Add at least one skeletal action to the skeletal action array and set its hand type (Left or Right) under SkeletalData.

When using UE4 hands, you may want to turn off bone morphing in the settings as they likely won't be rigged correctly for it. Additionally, you can get the knuckles controller profile from the latest template if using the VRExpansionPlugin.

Also, I am packaging the OpenInput testing hands as they are pre-rigged and fully setup already and they look 100x better than pretty much all stock hands for UE4.
