Connecting Maya to Unreal with Live Link | GDC 2018 | Unreal Engine

in unreal i am not getting maya live link in - Source - mesaage bus source , please guide

Great

so no need render time anymore.. actually this is what conventional software mus beware, like max, maya, blender,c4d. we are in a new world

A need this for 3dsmax 😢

How do you export your character from maya to unreal ? what do you select ? only the geometry? what fbx settings do you use ? I either get a ton of error when importing, or no error but it's not the correct geo :/

Can we use Live link to render out scenes from a cartoon series we are making ? for example, we have a shot with two characters, in a forest, so the forest is created in Unreal engine, we have the characters imported into Unreal engine and blueprint actors created from them, now the problem is , if the two characters are dancing in the animation we have done in maya, and the maya camera just goes around them 360, how do we bring this into unreal and set them up in the forest we created, if we drag the characters in to the viewport the actual world space will it match, then how does the camera match ? can live link solved these problems ?

Will a 3dsMax version be possible?

This is too op

Can i setting differnt pc motionbuilder network.
Example motionbuilder network to ue4 different pc

does morph target support in this live link?

This is the scene from STARWARS JEDI FALLEN ORDER.

Would you recommend this over Alembic imports? Or can you use both techniques together?

hello I have a question, can we synchronize live link with squencer, so the timeline on motion builder o maya can control de timeline on squencer.

This demo is cool and all, but it avoids going over linking blendshapes/morph targets. That is the real challenge

Insanely useful well once I upgrade my UE4 skills as well as PC hardware software powers.

dont tell half steps. rubbush

Everything works, but I can only move the camera. the character is not moving at all. I followed every step carefully. what can be wrong ?

Bloody hell EPIC, the folder is missing .mll file and you don't suppose you guys should inform that to us.

when iam importing the plugin it shows the error "Cannot find procedure "MayaLiveLinkRefreshConnectionUI". not even finding solution for this online.

Using UE 4.24 Live Link Message Bus Source is empty. I've disable Firewall and Antivirus and still not visible.

I'm working with Maya 2019 and unreal 4.23.1 and so far everything is fine till I get to the bus source part and nothing is popping up in the list. Has anyone had this problem too and if so did you solve it and if so again how would I go about solving it?

What is the purpose of this? i followed all the steps, link between both apps.. but how to transfer the character from maya to unreal?

Message Bus Source list is completely empty? Please help....

Great... thank you...

For those who struggle to find .mll file
You should download a Plug-in from Marketplace, and should have UE4.23 at least installed. Than go to UE_4.23\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace\MayaLiveLink\Binaries and select folder of your maya version. There you will find .mll file you are looking for

I can't find the MayaLiveLinkPlugin201x.mll file in gitHub repository. How to get this file for linking Maya to UE4?

I love you Unreal Engine, But for the love of god next time you say "The build info is in the documentation" PLEASE just explain how to install it, I just spent 3 hours trying to get this damn thing to work on Maya 2019 and wasted my night, finally got it installed but jesus that was a pain. DO NOT follow the link in the documentation, download from the unreal app store and then the plugin will be in your Engine folder of your unreal folder. I know he said this in the video but I had not yet downloaded the plugin from the store, did not see it there and went on a tirade to find in the online documentation where I got abunch of codes that I am absolutely clueless on how to use

Hello sir i wanna ask how to get maya live link 2018.mll file? Thank you

how to download plugin for maya

Didn't realize Keegan Michael Key was working for Epic now

Anybody come across a version with Maya 2019 support?

can i run maya & unrealengine on
6gb ram
pentuim g2020

Everything work fine for me make sure your Joint is attached together & also i didnt really need the remap name. Thank you for this tool i will use it with harmony!

Does live link work on top of an FBX export into Unreal?

How do you stream Blendshapes?

Can you rig and animate model in unreal or do you have to do it in 3D program before import ?

Hi I see in your video you have a fully rigged character from paragon. i am currently working on a animation of my own and i would like to use a rig from paragon or the market from unreal but I just cant figure out how to transport the rig from unreal to maya. Maybe its impossible but i read that people worked on the animation so i was just wondering if anyone can help me with this. Thanks in advance

Just did a whole bunch of testing with this and I gotta say. My mind is blown.
I'm literally animating in Maya and I'm using the engine as an extra viewport. A fully rendered REAL TIME viewport (go immersive mode)!
I've been working in film vfx for 20 years and this has been a fantasy of mine for a LONG time.

Guys, this is very exciting stuff. Thanks.

Messy!!!

maya 2018.3 try load MayaLiveLink2018.mll and got msg error
// Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2018/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 909: The specified procedure could not be found.
(MayaLiveLinkPlugin2018) //

Never work!! any solution??

I think Blender or Hexagon 2.5 those are the ones I use.

Any more documentation on porting it to 3dsMax? The docs page is awful and almost has no information

Howd You Get The BlendShapes to work? Mine doesn't sync up with unreal.

when i click camera sync my camera in maya is rotated relative to the camera in ue engine by 90 degrees in x-axis/ How to fix this?

Hi, I was able to make the unreal Maya Link successfully. However, it updates in real time only the bones. Is the plugin capable of updating the blendshapes in real time?
It would be interesting for the facial mocap.

Very impressive tech demo!
