Frequently asked questions
Does RADiCAL use the Unreal IK Rig? How do I retarget to other characters in Unreal?
We include a standard RADiCAL character with an advanced Unreal IK Rig, as well as IK Retargeters for Metahuman, UE5 Manny, UE5 Quinn, the UE4 mannequin, Mixamo (incl. ReadyPlayerMe), AccuRig Reallusion, and Avaturn.What kind of hardware and software do I need to run RADiCAL Motion and Unreal Engine?
RADiCAL Motion is device- and software-agnostic. Any consumer-grade device will do the trick, as long as it has a camera, the Chrome browser, and an internet connection. You can use RADiCAL Motion on devices running on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and iOS.Unreal Engine has its own demands that are completely independent of RADiCAL's platform. What you need in terms of hardware and software depends largely on what you're building. You can see more here.
