I’m loving what you can do in @UnrealEngine with animation now! I threw this anim together but it’s running 4 rigs in sequencer 1 - full modular for animation 2 - dynamics 3 - procedurally stepped (stop motion) 4 - deformer graph squash / stretch #indiedev #ue5

The full control rig solution had some issues so this is using unreals to drive a camera bone then control rig for procedural motion (I’ve ramped it up a bit for this) #ue5 #gamedev

Two main things that tripped me up - the attach bone wasn’t in the generated retargeter so that was off in the retarget. Added a pin bone to match the original in the post settings. Also, it was failing to return a montage for traversal until I did this

When we were working on @revoider a lot of people asked how we set up the “stop motion” stuff and it was complicated… control rig makes it a hell of a lot easier now so here’s a good start ⬇️

Added a nice tile system for the wall, more bounces on the robot and made a stop motion system. The stop motion is done with #ControlRig in #UE5 and works like a post process after calculating the poses.
