[@commandconquer5338]

[@fkdump]

Wish it will have a complete rigging and animator friendly character animation system.

[@surfacedfox]

Already does via control rig.

[@dimarelos]

Thank you for this walkthrough and, I would really appreciate a full rigging tutorial on this editor. 🙏 Do you know if it behaves well in regards to characters with multiple meshes? (ex. clothing, armour, etc.)

[@cinematic_monkey]

At this point I was expecting some kind of neural network automated rigging

[@christmworkflow2886]

Unreal Engine is really crazy and he will get even crazier ... Thanks for the walkthrough , i ask too a complet tutorial on this tools

[@GordonSeal]

You know the little square next to the X on the top right makes a window cover the whole screen automatically? :D

[@ComputingCode]

Can we use an existing skeleton? I mean, It's a tad annoying to rig 10 characters, and create 10 ikRigs, 10 retargetRigs....etc.

[@chosenonemedia8337]

very very nice, looks good. Great tut bro!

[@ohheyvoid]

Extremely helpful. Thanks so much for sharing this. :D

[@vidayperfumes7514]

Great tutorial ,thank you

[@SuperMontana2008]

This is a great Feature! well done epic

[@PreciousVideos_]

Thank you that was very helpful

[@pandaman4321]

I have two questions: 1. Is there a mirror options to use while Editing Weights? 2. Is there an option to hide one object while Editing Weights (example: if you have a character and clothing under one fbx, but as two objects) for anyone who helps, thank you

[@AatxeUrrutia-ph9ty]

this is awesome and the uv tools are decent too

[@MoisesConejo]

there is a button to fullscreen the window in the right top corner.

[@smcfadden1992]

so if i was making a stuffed animal character and his body was a little too bendy i could add bones to fix it? i tried weight painting and broke it lol

[@Playworriors]

is it possible to rig the face using this method

[@VanyaKapetanovic]

Amazing tutorial, thank you for this. But how do you animate this later? Open a Level Sequencer and than how do you import character into it and animate it?

[@tgykurtulus]

You should create a control rig for the skeletal mesh . then you can animate your model inside the sequencer and bake it as an animation sequencer.

[@roukoutv]

Thank u very much for this video! Would it be possible to just remake the Manny Skeleton?

[@garrytalaroc]

I was hoping i could do the weight painting inside UE5.3 because in blender it is very destructive and frustrating.

[@seraphfawkes]

It's not, if you understand how it works.

[@CTRLsway]

​@@seraphfawkesexplain it then

[@bdmulligan]

Your videos are awesome but somebody help me out. How is this new feature helpful for us? With Reallusion's tools, Blender Add-Ons, and Maya Plug-ins we tell the software where to put the bones and our rig is created for us. We then would still have to map our imported bone system to UE's skeleton right? I have to believe I am missing something everyone knows. I mean if you do have to remap this skeleton to the UE skeleton, isn't that going to be a pain since your bones are just randomly named?

[@Anthro]

Is it fully flexible like something compared to blender rigging? I didn't notice any IK/Advanced bones

[@Punisher1992]

that you can do easy, you just add for example a bone at the feet, make it weight it as IK and then you can use it in ikrig.

[@DarkerCry]

You'd need to use the control rig system for that.

[@Darkho1y]

No ready humanoid setups like AutoRig Pro or Rigify (bones + control gizmos). No IK/FK switches from the looks of it. I'd say it's not even close to your regular DCC tools.

[@dreamphoenix]

Thank you.

[@shashwatkauraw8085]

Can you also edit metahuman bones from it?

[@jdamagedgoods]

Blendshapes?

[@junh1572]

2:35 Correction Joints

[@stickamata8213]

is there a release date for 5.3?

[@Atl3m]

They are soon happy and start charging for using it

[@cbino2801]

Is there any solution for Mac ? Thank you.

[@fddesign]

awesome :)

[@JoseLopez-me2re]

Intro music please?

[@cristianpaltaescultura1461]

yo tengo la series x desde hace casi 2 años y la play 5 desde 2 años , me gusta mas la series x , pero los esclusivos de sony salen muy tarde a pc

[@LordLuigi_Rigs]

Awesome✅✅✅

[@ClaudioCavalcanteTonha]

it looks like a brazilian accent

[@ecofriend93]

Adding AI to make all this happen would be awesome!

[@abhijitleihaorambam3763]

Nah loll

[@kellowattentertainment]

The should've given us the opportunity to rig any character to the Mannequin Skeleton... It is Unreal Engine afterall

[@GeometricPidgeon]

Retargeting I guess, it's tedious but yeah

[@busesart]

Ahahaha they literally made us BRATZ

[@PHATTrocadopelus]

They need to have an automated version to do a bunch of this rigging LOL

[@moonstrobe]

Seems ok for basic needs, but probably not usable for refined use.

[@beyawnko290]

would be awesome to see how this would work for adding armor and other meshes to character base meshes. i wanna make my models base in outside programs, make sure its rigged in blender, but add armor assets within unreal and fit them. i feel like it could help with custom character creation, allowing clothing and accessory meshes to modified within in the engine.

[@carlosrivadulla8903]

i guess the next this is going to be autorig like actor core

[@LazyDev27]

Is there any reason for this if you use Blender for creating and rigging your models? Is it a better alternative?

[@MarkyMarls]

Go ahead try to export that LMFAO

[@spartan5760]

I see Unreal is learning from Blender and I'm here for it :D

[@alexgomez-bi2bk]

Good, I'm tired of having to know different hotkeys and controls lol

[@bobsteven2363]

learning from blender? They added basic rigging tools. Basic rigging tools that are universal and were present before blender implemented them. Blender is great but blender is yet to invent anything new. I follow its development very closely and every new feature is a preexisting feature in another program

[@iamwoozy]

Blender ppl so stu id 😂

[@xiaobai7060]

i noticed that you loaded in an FBX file. does rigging also work for objs?

[@LEGIT134]

Being able to do this really cuts out blender for me so that is really nice 🎉🎉🎉

[@juliancastillo]

hey! great video. Do you know if there is a way to mirror Weights? do the same work for left and right sides is a nightmare.

[@vinayshakyawar]

1:22 me too brother, me too

[@douglaslassance]

How do you update the model after having done some weights?

[@1Chitus]

Unreal Engine is really crazy

[@FPChris]

Are you calling bones joints?

[@377omkar]

Jiggle bones/?

[@thegreendude2086]

That actuall ysounds really nice, especially when you work alone you might not want to learn multiple softares

[@alexseleniar]

You are awesome. 1 AM in the morning

[@stefanleroux8750]

Thanks for the review. Is there a chance for a tutorial how to add root bone to mixamo character with existing skeleton? 😅 please with this new feature of ue5?

[@Ilaijo]

Very good tutorial,thanks.

[@MichaelHurdleStudio]

Great video bro. So much to learn here.

[@korowa163]

Давай следующее видео на русском

[@Diogosetgo]

Amazing tutorial. Thanks!

[@albiceleste101]

I wish my pc was strong enough 😭

[@wegotguns3325]

No elephant? Damn...

[@saunguyen-gc9rj]

Body Base Mesh very nice!. Thanks bro.

[@Kim00_AIAnimation]

와..ㄷㄷ

[@gal1leo868]

Thank you

[@WestonBMusic]

I was just looking for this yesterday, thank youu

[@BongbokCG]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@myelinsheathxd]

Noice!

[@ArtmasterRoy]

Респект!

[@BooneyTune]

So great!

[@JorgeMorenoCGArtist]

I wondered how complete is UE nowadays!

[@BooneyTune]

More to come. Sometime it is mind blowing 🤯

[@janvollgod7221]

can you apply mocap data to the self made rig?

[@AlexiosLair]

Yes, make IK retargeter

[@BooneyTune]

Sure. Bone names will matter

[@noxabellus]

okay cool now why on earth would you use this?

[@LilYet]

because importing and exporting between unreal and other software is horrible

[@JonCG]

Lol.Blender?why Blender?
