Character work moving from Maya to Unreal Engine requires more than exporting a file. Teams must preserve source context, verify skeleton and animation assumptions, validate the imported result, and retain a way back when something fails.
A character handoff can involve geometry, skeletons, skinning, animation, naming, scale, materials, control rigs, animation blueprints, motion matching, and project conventions. Treating that as a single opaque conversion makes failures difficult to diagnose and undo.
Tech Connector can represent supported host actions as visible pipeline steps, inspect project context, route known operations, and report performed, skipped, and validated work. Coverage depends on the connected Maya and Unreal environments.
Development work includes deeper asset relationships, stable identity, animation and scene awareness, and broader validation across character production paths.
The goal is a repeatable pipeline that carries portable data and clearly reports fields that remain native, unsupported, or lossy instead of hiding those boundaries.
