General Usage Instructions

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.

This plugin includes all functionality from Version 2.1 and 2.0 including the ability to push your animation directionally to Unreal through Asset Linking. It has been recompiled to work with Unreal Engine 5.2, and will NOT work with Unreal Engine 5.1 or earlier.
