I'm seeking to create a animated film/s on Unreal someday. I just started learning Blender animation. Once I feel ready I'll dive into Unreal Engine's animation flow as well. Thanks for this info as every little bit helps. Dope game by the way and amazing game engine. 👍

Very informative. Unreal Engine keeps getting better and better. Might switch from Unity at some point.

[@alhusseinali]

Cool

[@ranaumair100]

how you combined alembic and fbx in sequencer timeline

[@DeLitV]

I have a question. Can you make character animation using only Unreal? (Imagine you have a FBX model with texture and rig, but with out animation sequances for this model.) This would be a good feature. And you can call it Unreal Film Maker.

[@aedelya]

You can't using Unreal however you can use Maya and the LiveLink plugin to get to camera and animation responding in Unreal... works pretty well while keeping the familarity of Maya.

Would be nice. I watched a video of them using an iPhone X to control a character rig on Unreal Engine. Apple's technology via iPhone X is somehow compatible I believe and their AR VR software has some amazing capabilities.
