Modular Rigging in Unreal Engine | Unreal Fest 2024

[@hardwire666too]

Man. Out of all the presentations that went on for an hour or more this should have been one of them. Modular rigging is a really cool feature and deserves a lot more time that 20-ish minutes.

It would be awesome if you could release some of those rigs to the community. The bike rig would be super useful obviously for everyone working on vehicle animation.

[@Ertie]

Bike suspension was so interesting! Thanks for uploading this

[@randomvector78]

Wow Kudos to the rigging dev team. Amazing to see howe new tools are getting developed. Makes rigging and animating more approachable for non-tech oriented artists like me :-) Thanks!

[@JohnDaniels]

Great video and much needed product for UE

[@djtomoy]

great for animating all the dances we will need in our games

[@datodavita1212]

The most important thing for creating a game is to write scripts, help us with this, create artificial intelligence in the game engine that will help us create logic and scripts.

[@ferriohtv]

Amzing guys!

[@BaseRealityVR]

Great but too much sequencer use. How can we use this in Animation Blueprints, how can we affect the control rig controls buy inputting world transforms data ?

[@FruitZeus]

I’d love to see support for TRUE modular and dynamic rigs. Meaning a control rig, than can swap to a whole new set of skeletal meshes and controls. This would be important for creating animation that’s not physically possible with just one static rig. such as super cartoony animation, where a limb might swap to an entirely different limb with different controls associated with that specific pose in the storyboard. I’ve been trying to figure this out for a while now.

[@projectbrian]

I wasn't able to find the video on animating using the mouse pointer capture that they talked at 17:20 in this video. It would be neat to see how that works.

[@WisherZard]

I m here for Shark

[@samuelenslin1850]

Yeah, its great, but we desperately need more tutorials showing it working with non-unreal and non-mixamo rigs. I´ve tried for hours to make it work with a custom biped rig from 3ds max until I figured out how to add a root bone or where the damn slots were (hint: not where they were in every single other tutorial out there...). Also, a lot more info is needed in terms of naming conventions for the rigs you should use or rig hierarchies needed. Sort of a "best practices" thing. For all the shmucks like me who are neither absolute beginners or strangers to rigging (aka: not using mixamo or unreal characters exclusively), but not experienced enough in this area to just figure these things out by themselves...

[@Sky-hl8iw]

pro demo with essential basic guides like this is dway2go &tq4this!

[@RFX2610]

when i bake a character animation into modular rig my clavice character become a strange.

[@hotsauce7124]

Question: How do we hook up a forearm twist bone in Modular Control Rig?

[@yonghengshouhu]

UE5.4.4 Motion Design - Material Designer The problem of multi-layer effect overlay that cannot be saved has not been resolved. . .

[@medmel2160]

Where can I find the hinge simulation rig?

[@markgabbidon5859]

Can this rigged be used on semi stylized characters that require squash and stretch features? Does the rig support toony functions or just live action type characters?

[@trendgil]

Bro teach me EVERYTHING😢

[@AKThem06]

why isn't the hip controller part of the modular assets?

[@Fleroshi_SE]

because hip is part of the spine

[@Fleroshi_SE]

Backward solve for modular rigs doesnt work with even native mannequin

[@dierichent]

I'm still using 4.27 cuz I can't handle the new rigging situation I liked the simple skeleton retargeting

[@mrtegs]

Ue5.4 has the same simple retargeting

[@dierichent]

@@mrtegs without having to create the "Rig" ? I'll have to recheck it out

[@patrikbaboumian]

@@dierichent the rig creation has been automated in 5.4. it is now easier than back in UE4

[@mrtegs]

@@dierichent yeah you don't have to create any rig

[@bobsort]

20:00 Didn't presenter said he will be putting this shark animation in Internet to show how exactly he did it? does anyone has the link to it?

[@BoristheBlade]

i really want that simulated hinge module!
