yup, this work flow is amazing! Simply make key poses with control rig and use oscillation and point interpolations to add in 2nd and 3rd movements. Dosnt look like much now but I have the pipeline figured out and best of all it's easier to make changes of any kind while results always good and clean. No more canned…
hey, cool project. I dont quite understand what the benefit of control rig is exactly. I can understand that chopping a program out of the pipeline is usually good, but it looks like you do animations first by setting up a rather complicated rig in blueprint, and then you still basically keyframe the main poses, and have…
got some more time work on it. So good how intuitive it is now to make animation from scratch and even them borderline real-time changes in game. Video includes how to do it. https://youtu.be/aDw5AV_Eheg
For instance, I'm currently building the weapon swap. It's has to look good, be this simple and able to change easily at anytime for what it is right now. Anything more than this would either prevent or delay building the weapon swap. It's the genius of procedural animations. https://youtu.be/_teVtY4yVYU
Worked on the project some more on certain small things. Got everything over to one pipeline for animation with control rig, Before I was using a less optimal pipeline but I fixed it. I'm using control rig and sin for everything. https://youtu.be/ClE8-A2-ank
Clean and clear transitions. Make a fully dynamic pose and keep it in control rig. Use Unreal script to blend it. Now the jump into drop-kick has a clean and always instantly adjustable transition segment. Takes only a minute to set up but is always good results and can always be edited without stupid timeline bake…
The reason why the control rig is so genius is because the advantage large studios have is lots of people working on small things all at once. Most the time in games it's about making sure the small things are done right. One major thing that is all about lots of small stuff is animation and most the time it's bulk of lots…
