I have .cdf and .skin files for a project I’m working on, but can’t figure out how to use them in Lumberyard. Anyone know how?

Hi you will need to disable the CryEntity removal gem. And in preferences enable the Legacy UI

See my blogpost on this:

For Skin and CDF files you will need to use Geppetto and Mannequin

Hope this helps.

P.S if you have your animation source files in Maya or 3dsmax would recommend exporting to FBX and use the new animation system as these old systems are Deprecated soon.
