 +===== Using Mixamo characters with ALS ===== 
 +The simplest method to use a Mixamo character with ALS, is to use live retargeting to copy the pose from the ALS mannequin to the Mixamo skeleton. 
 + 
 +1. Create a new Animation Blueprint and select the retargeted Mixamo skeleton as the target.\\ 
 +{{ :ue5-mixamo:als-anim-blueprint-creation.png | Creating a new Animation Blueprint for the retargeted Mixamo character}} 
 + 
 +2. In the blueprint AnimGraph, add a //Retarget Pose From Mesh// node, and in the node settings enable the //Use Attached Parent// option and select the ALS to Mixamo IK Retargeter asset generated by the plugin.\\ 
 +{{ :ue5-mixamo:als-anim-blueprint-setup.png | Setting up a Retarget Pose node in the Animation Blueprint graph}} 
 + 
 +3. Create a duplicate of the ALS blueprint //AdvancedLocomotionV4/Blueprints/CharacterLogic/ALS_AnimMan_CharacterBP// to use for Mixamo. 
 + 
 +Then open the new blueprint and add a new Skeletal Mesh as a child of the existing Skeletal Mesh component (called Mesh).\\ 
 +{{ :ue5-mixamo:als-blueprint-mesh.png |Adding a new Skeletal Mesh to the ALS character blueprint}} 
 + 
 +Setup the new Skeletal Mesh component with your Mixamo character mesh and select the Animation Blueprint created in step 2.\\ 
 +{{ :ue5-mixamo:als-blueprint-mesh-setup.jpg |Setting up the Skeletal Mesh component}} 
 + 
 +Now you can hide the ALS mannequin by selecting the Mesh component and uncheck the //Visible// option in the Rendering settings. 
 + 
 +4. For testing, open the //ALS_DemoLevel//, delete the //ALS_AnimMan_CharacterBP// and replace it with the new blueprint. Then in the settings set the //Auto Possess Player// option to Player 0. 
 + 
 +You should now be able to move around your Mixamo character with the ALS system.
