FBX for Unity

Which file to take

Unreal Engine 5FBX
Take the FBX on the Unreal Engine 5 Manny skeleton: Unity has no download of its own, and this FBX imports as a Humanoid with Unity's own importer, no package needed. Unity retargets it to your character's Humanoid avatar. We tested it in Unity 2022.3 LTS and Unity 6 (6000.0 LTS).

Import into Unity

Drag the FBX into your Assets folder. Select it, open the Rig tab in the Inspector, set Animation Type to Humanoid and Avatar Definition to Create From This Model, and click Apply. It imports as Generic until you do.
In the Animation tab, the take is the clip Unity names Scene. We kept Unity's default clip settings.
Put the clip in your character's Animator Controller and tick Foot IK on its state, which keeps the feet on the floor. Tick Apply Root Motion on the character's Animator for the take's travel to move it; untick it to keep the character on its spot.

The full Unity section of the MotionSmith guide, with the finger mapping.

What works

Imported as Humanoid, the FBX gives a valid avatar with every required bone mapped.
The take plays on other Humanoid characters with its hands, feet and travel. We played it on a RigMaster character and on a plain humanoid with Unity's own bone names.
With Foot IK on, a Manny take on a character with much shorter legs dipped at most 4 cm into the floor in our test.

What does not

Unity's automatic mapping puts the finger slots on the wrong bones of these files. The body plays correctly either way; if the hands matter, click Configure on the Rig tab and set each finger to its _01, _02 and _03 bones, or clear the finger slots.
Without Foot IK the soles can dip a few centimetres into the floor, because Unity fits the take to each character's own proportions.
