Re: Blending anim clips in a game engine
No, all movement anims should start with the same foot forward. Unity has a system where you can tag left foot / right foot contacts, but I'm not sure about Unreal. But I don't use Unity's system anyway, I just create the animations in sync out of habit. Going from movement to movement you should just let the game engine… -
Re: Blending anim clips in a game engine
Thanks dude, that helps a lot. I was confused about how to decide when to animate a transition or when to let the engine do the blend but I imagine things will get clearer the more I work with it. Cheers. -
Blending anim clips in a game engine
Hi, I'm planning to create a walk cycle as well as a run cycle and importing them into Unreal. I have a question, do studios let their game engine do 100% of the blend or do they animate a transition in their 3D package to "help" the game engine out? Cheers. -
Re: Blending anim clips in a game engine
So, you let the engine do most of the blending but a sharp change in speed like the idle to run, you would animate the transition. Ok, I'm guessing the engine is most effective at blending between similar speeds and not sharp changes. Thanks. I'll start experimenting and post here if I have any issues. I appreciate the… -
Re: Blending anim clips in a game engine
Thanks, I'm planning to start from a walk cycle to a quicker walk to a run and then back to the two walk cycles. So If I start the walks with the left foot forward, I should have the run start with the right foot forward so it can blend over? Also, if I'm going to go from a run/jog to a walk, should I animate the… -
Re: Blending anim clips in a game engine
I let the game engine do all the blending. The only thing you should try to do is keep the leading foot consistent. So if your Idle pose is left foot forward, then animate the walk, jog, run, and sprint with left foot forward first. In addition to that, I usually create an Idle to Sprint transition. If the player's… -
Re: Blending anim clips in a game engine
I don't mean to answer for Juan but it really depends on the game and the character. For some games the quick transition might be fine, for others you might want the character to hop or you need a set of transitions to get the feet into the right place for the cycle. Or the timing might be so different on the run and walk…
