After a few seconds, your avatar should appear in the scene.

If it's a full-body avatar, then it will be playing an animation. Now let's dive into how the Ready Player Me SDK works and how you can implement it into your games and other applications. Let's look at the first three nodes connected to the BeginPlay node. As the name suggests, this runs as soon as you hit Play. This is a custom helper function to save you from having to create the config yourself. However, we will also cover how to do that later on in this guide.

This config handles some of the loaded. This node is part of the third-party Unreal editor plugin glTFRuntime. As you can see, it is passed the public Url property as a parameter and the LoaderConfig parameter that we specifically need for ReadyPlayerMe avatars to load correctly for animation purposes.

It loads the data from the URL and stores it in a format we can then use. Lastly, it has a Completed callback function which we will use to actually load the avatar model assets into the scene.

The OnAssetLoaded function below is connected to the Completed callback function parameter mentioned above. This is run once the avatar has finished loading from the web and returns a custom type of asset called a glTFRuntimeAsset which contains all the data loaded from the ReadyPlayerMe. Once the asset has been loaded, we can check whether the loaded asset is a full-body or half-body avatar. Both of these nodes handle the loading of all the meshes, materials, and skeleton and adding it to the Target actor, which defaults to self if nothing is assigned.

Without this, the animations won't work correctly. This is another helper function, and it takes in the public property AnimBlueprintInstance , which can be set in the inspector of the actor.

In this event graph, you will see how the logic behind our ReadyPlayerMeFunctionLibrary helper functions can be applied manually via the Blueprint system. Here's what you have to do to use the animations with our avatars:. After Mixamo completes processing the animation target, pick an animation that you want to use.
