Description
The Unreal Live Link plug-in makes it possible to stream animation data from Maya to Unreal in real time. Whether you’re working between the two tools in a virtual production environment or building your next game, you can now work on character assets in Maya and see previews of your work reflected immediately in Unreal, as you make changes.
Update October 20, 2023.
Unreal® Live Link for Autodesk® Maya® for UE 5.2 has been recompiled to work with Unreal Engine 5.2. It will NOT work with Unreal Engine 5.1 or earlier, see links below. It works with Autodesk Maya 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Note: Due to changes outside of our control, there is a known issue with minor lag occurring when animation is updating in Unreal Engine while scrubbing the timeline in Maya. The workaround is to scrub the timeline in Unreal Engine and the animation will update in both applications without any lag.
Update March 1, 2023
Unreal® Live Link for Autodesk® Maya® for UE 5.1 is a new version of the Live Link plugin that has been recompiled to work with UE 5.1. It will NOT work with older versions of Unreal Engine, see links below.
