Description
we are not a triple-A companywe don't have money to hire animatorsButwe have the unreal engine for free and all its toolslet's say we download a free animation and it is not matched with your objects and levels everything with that animation looks low-qualityin this course, I'll show you two important ways that you can use those animations like it was for Triple-A companiesas an example, we use a ladder climbing system that you can't find good animation out there for itfirst, I'll show you how to code procedural mesh generation so your mesh and ladder can match your animationour ladder height can be changed. its rungs offset can change it can have a top ladder or noteven we design level designer guide so if it is not placed properly it shows the level designerat the and I'll show you how to use data tables to have multiple types of ladders inside just one ladder blueprintif with this again your animation was not synced I'll show you how to use control rigs and linked animations to fix whatever problem that animation hasso first we create a control rig for our character next, we learn about level sequence and curve editorwe learn about additive animationswe learn about shifting keyframes method as wellnext, we learn all about anim montages and how to use them properlythis course is all about fixing problems. I'll show you most problems that animation can have and how to fix them either with code or control rig and level sequencerand we will talk about the most important debug options for our project so you can see problems easily, like slow-motion and custom print stringsbut at the end, you will have a fully functional ladder climbing system that is modular with component and data tables that help you implement this ladder system in your other games as wellso let's learn how to fix the problem
