Unreal Engine 5.4 Motion Matching | Full Locomotion + Upper Body Layering & Turn In Place

Marketplace Link: www.unrealengine.com/marketpl...
An updated sample demo of the locomotion system I have been working on for Stormrite using Unreal Engine's motion-matching technology.
Version 3 sees upper body layering, driven by a data table that stores characteristics of each upper body pose, and how it 'overlays' on top of the motion layer. Users can call a simple function to choose which pose to use from the data table, with a custom blend time.
Turn in place has also been implemented in this version, along with many grounded locomotion improvements (especially when arcing/sharply turning).

UPDATE! As promised, the locomotion system seen in this video can be found here on the Unreal Marketplace: www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/locomotion-matching

[@user-yi9hz5il4m]

Tutorial please! Fantastic!

[@tahun69]

motion matching is a game changer

[@peter_fbx]

This is amazing, do you have an expected time line for marketplace release? This would be perfect for the project I am working on, so I want to know if I would be able to implement it before my expected timeline.

Hey bro this looks epic! I'm trying to learn MM using mixamo animations and can't get the turn in place to work, would you have any tips maybe?

[@Bakahira]

...and what are this for Animations? Are they from Lyra?

[@TheCoolCod]

Where did you get those animations? Please tell me🙏

[@Bakahira]

Absolutly great work! So smooth! Just perfect! So sub and like...and now please a tutorial how you make it so clean🙏

[@Njoyy-wo9ti]

Where did you get those animations? Looks great

[@sgt.handsome2362]

really cool ! how to ''turn in place'' ? im really curious

[@maxencep17]

How do you set up upper body layering in Unreal Engine with motion matching

[@bluboxprod.7789]

Its great ! Like the others, tutorial please ! ^^ And some questions : * Are transition animations like put the weapon on holster or so are able or not ? * Does the motion matching animations can be use with aiming ? * Is it replicated ? Thanks !

[@KelechiApakama]

Hi, to answer your questions: - Yes, it is replicated! - Yes the motion matching anims can be used for aiming, there's a control rig that handles procedural aim offset - At the moment there aren't any transition animations for equip/holster, but there's a montage system in the project that would make it pretty easy to implement that yourself :) Here's the link: www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/locomotion-matching

i would love something like this for my Third person shooter

[@smackmet9379]

How much coverage do you have for the leans when running? I cant seem to get them to be smooth, they always flicker (I'm guessing your using root motion to drive the character). Orientation warping somehow isn't doing it.

[@KelechiApakama]

Full coverage for leans, I've got animations at rotation rates of 30,60,90,120,150 and 180 degrees per second. I'm not using root motion, I don't really like the idea of being (somewhat) locked to the movement speed that the animations dictate, so for rotation I'm using a smoothed rotation system, similar to ALS

[@smackmet9379]

@@KelechiApakama Thank you for the detailed explenation ^^

[@exstudent30]

Pleeeease can you add Network Replication if you release it to the market place. taaaa

[@KelechiApakama]

Yep! Working on that as we speak :)

[@HyperGalaxyEntertainment]

do you think Motion Matching can be use for cinematics?

[@KelechiApakama]

Yeah, you could definitely record animation then use it in the level sequencer. Have a look at the 'take recorder' if you're not familiar with it

[@peter_fbx]

That's how I plan on using this once it is released, this could save me so much time in motion capture

[@Birdscolony211]

Tutorial please

[@RastoDM]

Alot of foot sliding and jitter happening..

[@tayorain6554]

when will tutorial come

[@KelechiApakama]

No tutorial planned, but the marketplace asset will be up within the next week!

[@GetYourDailyFix]

Someone needs to make a tutorial on this 😢 plz

[@x64.graphics]

This is stunning work. Will pay for course or tutorial if Unreal Sample ends up not showing upper body poses with rifles like you are.

[@jagdishchauhan-tf2vz]

Ask any questions but he ll not reply .

[@badprogamerz]

Please make a tutorial sir i want to learn ❤❤❤
