NEW Layered CONTROL RIG 💥| Unreal Engine 5.4

[@chasescooper]

Great video! Huge fan of your channel. I work at Epic and built these rigs, we are releasing some updates to the samples pack that fixes a lot of these issues very soon so layered rigs work even better on these, plus some other goodies 😁.

Looking forward!

Hey Chase ! Thanks so much for your comment and your support on the channel😊 I'm really happy to see your feedback and the announcement of these updates! You're always super responsive to update the engine, it's so great! Can't wait to see it! 🤩

Hello Chase, is there a way to have the FK/IK switch "Match to Pose" when switch IK/FK with Metahuman Control Rig arms in Sequencer? Currently when I switch IK/FK in Sequencer, there is a popping. Is there a way to have "Match to Pose" like in Maya when switching IK/FK? Epic has done a fantastic jobs with the Control Rig tools!

@@hotsauce7124 try setting keys on the whole rig on the frame you switch between FK/IK and it should match the poses…. At least it does on Manny rig..

@@fredriknilsson9950 Hello, Metahuman in 5.4 "hands" do not seem to work with IK/FK switch in Sequencer. Even if I put key frames on all controls. When you switch IK/FK, the hand pops into a different pose. If you find the magic checkmark box to make the hands also work, may I ask you to post the solution? I'm sure Epic has a solution, but I have not found the magic checkmark box.

THANKS!!! The layered technique in your video resolved the "dismembered arms" issue I've been having for days on various models (Paragon, Manny 4 and 5). Now I can tweek animations without worry. THANKS AGAIN!!!

[@ProjProd]

Thanks for your support ! ❤️ same, I’ll dive into it as well ! Probably going to make a video about it too 👋

[@ValériePascal-p4i]

Thank youuu for all your support 🤩🤩🙌🏼

Stephane, have you tried to render the Dragon? The whiskers have issues during render.

[@ProjProd]

Hey Hussin 👋 I did encounter this issue ! I tried to disable the whiskers dynamic for that. Or one good solution I’ve tried is to Bake to an Animation Sequence the animation data within the Sequence ! Let me know if it helps 🙌 Thanks for your comment 🙂

[@hotsauce7124]

Can we have more layered animation tutorials, please?

[@ProjProd]

Ouhhh yesss ! My favourite subject 😍😍❤️

[@IndianCitizen04]

I really enjoyed today discovering the thing that no baking to control rig in layered animation just like other DCC app but sad Blender is still lacking ( though you could do it through Animation Layer addon) this functionality in built. Unreal is growing in leaps and bounds particularly in Cinematic arena which really justify their new License module for Movie creation.

[@ProjProd]

Completely agree with you ! I really enjoy animating in Unreal now. I’m working on developing an entire workflow within Unreal as much as possible, even for Rigs and weights stuff 💪

[@ApexArtistX]

Epic bros need to update USD importer first to call them the best

[@shashwatkauraw8085]

Layered control rig is full of bugs and issue. Especially if you start adding constraints. I do not understand why epic games keep releasing broken versions with so many bugs
