The simplicity of animation blending brings tears to my eyes. FINALLY!!!

[@theo.jovitch]

Me too buddy,

[@BestAnimations]

If you've had a chance to use it you know it's not so great right now. It's one thing to blend a run to a walk but when you try to blend a run to a stop to a turn to an idol to a fight move then you'll notice it's not so smooth. The video demo only shows you something that's easy. That's not the real world working with this. As I have found out recently. Popping and snapping or almost unavoidable. Hope they will keep improving it.

[@Pixelsplasher]

We forget too easily that we have not done any animation work at all but merely editing the sequence of animations.

[@HyperGalaxyEntertainment]

By far the best sequencer tutorial! thanks Luis for your great explanation~

[@kyleashley]

Looking up more tutorials by Luis, very clear patient and concise presentation on what can be a daunting leap into a new paradigm . Thanks

[@saish24]

Great video. Is there any full tutorial over creating sub level sequence? Such as creating walk to run animation blend and making a master sequencer?

[@zeddgamedesigner]

This is the best video i have watched soo far, Got to know about lot of things...

[@DodaGarcia]

I am so dumbfounded by Unreal. I'm still glad I decided to learn Blender first because it's still useful for asset creation but as someone whose only use of 3D is photorealistic filmmaking this is a complete game changer.

[@notsure1969]

Yeah with Blender + Unreal you can do basically anything.

[@zzwei4344]

How is the root motion achieved? The position of the character remains in the correct place after the import of other animation sequences,

[@notsure1969]

Unreal is absolutely amazing. The possibilities are endless.

[@AndyTheCameraGuy]

This is the most amazing thing ever!

[@improvementTime10.3.17]

5:50 can blend 2 different animations over time

[@dannyaustin84]

I find this really complicated. I'm a complete beginner. I need to know what the proper way to create multiple cameras and sequence them.... like in after effects or premiere... any ideas?

[@Cantblendthis]

@unrealengine : is this projects (and all assets) available somewhere, or maybe something similar?

[@harshitology3498]

mind blown

[@mirtaly]

awesome! thank you

[@JB_YouTube_]

Great tutorial! I have 2 objects colliding each other and breaking apart in pieces that works perfectly in the game mode, but How i can to make it work on sequencer? Thanks a lot for your help!

[@user-lv1zv5yf8o]

Хорошо получилось

[@7_of_1]

When I bring another animation in for character, I can’t rotation the direction for it to walk in in sequencer, it just defaults to walking in a axis?

[@platinumpineapple9943]

this is same dude that came to our workshop

[@shavemymind]

Amazing

[@junqingqiao8007]

It is so cool and useful!

[@shanmugam2645]

Very nic. Thank you so much

[@blackswan6386]

hello Sir can you help me how to add wind in my cinematic scene ? its only blowing when i hit play, but when i start recording its not acting. what do i miss out ? i have my wind source actor in my cinemativ level sequencer but it dosent change anything. thanks

[@KRN1VOR]

Hi Looks Great ! Is this available as a Project ?

[@gregaffy9206]

I too would like to know where this is, as I can't find it in the market place or the learn tab?

[@antoniopepe]

hi folks. im searching a way to blend different level track of the same group of object. I'll explain. i exported 32 neon tube from c4D . and 4 different loop baked rotation animation. now i want to blend this 4 different track. there is a way to blend as ì if it were a skeleton. because there is no interpolation from track to track. thx in advance.!

[@isaacelinamspielberg5752]

Thanks. This was Amazing.

[@gloriosatierra]

WOW. Imagine Unreal Engine 7 or 12? Prolly a lil kid will make video games then.

[@pavlebodi3476]

little kids already make video games, its called digipen... But their stuff is kinda generic - the projects all seem to look like tron or something

[@weirdshit]

Can we have walk path based on curve?

[@blackswan6386]

hello sir, can you help me ? i set up an PlayerPB who is just running forward. when i want to record this the spectator camrea is jumping into playerTHirdPerson Camera - how i can make an Actor who is just runnning forward ? i have to make an ActorPlayer and import the Running function from my PlayerPB ?

[@maddiehad]

anyone knows where I can download this scene...the city environment.

[@unrealengineruseng9583]

Cool !!!

[@vivektyagi6848]

Is there a tutorial to make such scenes ?

[@Givethought]

what environment pack is that? it's not in the learning tab.

[@Givethought]

what environment pact is he using?

[@BestAnimations]

After using the blending animations now for several months I can tell you it's not so smooth. Blending a run to a walk is easy. But that's not what people who make animations do. Animations is more than running and walking. Popping and snapping are almost unavoidable. I hope they continue to improve this system because on paper it's really cool. I have made several videos with it but still hoping they will improve it.

[@Givethought]

i guess the environment pack is a secret?
