Test new ALS in separate project
- Create new 3rd person project with C++
- Download ALS Community plugin, copy under /Plugins (make dir if not present)
- Generate Project files, recompile, and test ALS.
Add PlaneShift character to ALS project
- Import Kran character torso (for skeleton)
- Import Kran modules using torso skeleton
- Create a new PreviewMeshCollection with other kran pieces
- Added the Virtual Bones on the kran skeleton as per table below

- Create new IKRig, set Preview Mesh to the Kran torso
- Click on "Auto Create Retarget Chains", then clear up the IK Goals (hands, feet)
- Create new IKRig, set Preview Mesh to the AnimMan mesh (ALS)
- Click on "Auto Create Retarget Chains", then clear up the IK Goals (hands, feet)
- Create a new IKRetargeter
- Set source ALS IKRig, and target Kran IK Rig
- Select ALS_AnimBP , and click on "Retarget Animations"
- Select AnimMan as source, and Kran_torso as target, select RTG_ALS_to_Kran as retargeter
- Select all assets and click on "Export Animations", this will create all blendspaces and animations referenced by it
- WARNING: seems that the retargeter is not copying over this setting: Animation Sequence -> Asset Details -> Additive Settings -> Additive anim type: Local Space, Selected animation frame, ALS_N_Pose, 0. This causes the preview of the model in the anim BP to look all warped, like bones scaled up wrongly.
