Animation from C4D to UE4

I need some help. I’ve created an animated ski lift and it works perfectly in C4D but no matter what I try to do, I can’t get it to work in UE4. I’ve tried baking the frames, I’ve tried exporting as .abc file. I’ve tried exporting it and importing to Blender to see if that helps and it didn’t. I’ve tried using different export tools and watching countless tutorials.

Would anyone have any tips for me? I’d be glad to include my source file or pay someone a reasonable amount to convert it for me. I’m sure I’m missing something stupid, but it’s driving me crazy.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Hey there

So make sure that your animation has atleast one bone in cinema 4d, otherwise UE4 won’t recognize that it’s an animated skeletal mesh.

Then export as an .fbx, I haven’t tested too many setttings but this is what I use:
