VR Hands and Animations in UE5 & UE4.27 | Tutorial Part 1 | Adding Hands and Gesture Animations

[@shaldmi3776]

Hi there! Many thanks for tutorial! If somebody get error when importing animation: "Animation length 4.958 is not compatible with import frame-rate 30 fps (sub frame 0.75), animation has to be frame-border aligned" - you have to change Animation Lenght to Set Range and set frame Import Range from 0 to 5 on import window

Thank you very much!

[@tingjiezhang3493]

That solved my problem! Thank you very much, sir!

Unreal 5.0.3 has issues with the animation import. You need to change the animation type to animation range and set it from 0 to 5

Even when this process in almost deprecated as 5.3 includes something very similar, this tutorial helped me to understand the mentioned 5.3 VR Template version, Thanks.

[@damianseals]

THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS WAS AWESOME! I wish that all Unreal Engine Tutorials were like yours

[@mattiaspersson381]

Thank you very much for this. It was very helpful. I have 2 suggestions for improvement. This is more for other people using this tutorial to create games on their own. I understand that performance issues are not important in an example like this per se. 1: In the anim BP, it's better to get the pawn owner in the Blueprint Initialize Animation event rather than the update event as casting is a quite costly operation. The pawn reference can be stored as a parameter and queried in the update event instead. 2: Instead of booleans, it's possible to use the hand state enums also on the Pawn as variables, setting their values on the input events, instead of the booleans. The anim BP can then just read these variables and set the Hand Anim State variable from them., meaning all those if-statements/branches in the Blueprint Update Animation event can be removed. This is good because if-statements are also a bit costly. To identify whether or not it's the left or right controller, in the Blueprint Initialize Animation event, I just referenced the owning component, cast it to a SkeletalMeshComponent and used the object name to see if it was the right or left controller. But a tag could also be used. I then used a boolean called IsRightHand which determined if I should use the left or right hand Anim State enum from the Pawn. Thank you very much. It was very helpful for me to get into VR development with this tutorial.

[@robertadams3925]

So for your first point, where exactly would you put the cast to anim bp? I thought that event begin play would already only cast on initialization as he has it. For your second point, are you just suggesting to set enum states instead of a true/false bool in the VRPawn, and then just calling the Enum in the animation blueprint instead of using bools there too? Thanks for this comment in the first place, very useful, and any further detail appreciated!

[@shaldmi3776]

You have to set boolean variables (Left/right thumb, poit, grip) to public. Otherwise there be compilation errors

[@voc007]

[Solved] Around 21:11 where the hell did you add the blue dot thing between vr pawn and the held component left ? Its called add reroute node.

[@animeshdaryani1186]

thanks! 😀

[@MrMirosBog]

Very nice tutorial, thank you very much! It is a little bit outdated as the latest VR template uses hands with animations instead of motion controllers models, but I still managed to figure out how to adapt your instructions. You've done an amazing job!

[@stephananemaat]

Great video. I think the only anim state missing though was index pointing while thumb is also up. No big deal though, I made an additional state and added it to the enum.

[@SamaelQuinn]

As I was following this tutorial, I thought I had errors due to not realizing that it needed ALL inputs pressed to make a fist. I had thought that each animation would be set to a single mapping rather than a combination of mappings. Other than that this tutorial was amazing! Very well paced, and clearly explained.

[@darrenj.griffiths9507]

"This is a bug I have noticed in Unreal 5" - why doesn't that surprise me. Crashes and bugs are Unreal's specialty lol. Particularly when it comes to dealing with arrays (a fundamental aspect in 99% of all games). Anyway, thanks for this tutorial, it has really helped. :)

[@lincolnsnow6166]

Thank you for the great tutorial. I've been having this weird issue where I can grip use the hands perfectly the first time however I can't use them or grip objects if I try simulating again. I have to restart the editor to be able to get it working again. What do you think could be causing it? I keep getting these errors and I've looked it up and I'm not sure if it's causing the issue because it's probably a bi-product of taking the false result from the is valid node and setting the open hand anim but I'm not sure because I don't have a lot of experience with blueprints.

[@Arctan95]

You don't need to do both the left and right hands in the anim blueprint you're setting each hand twice here? Setting the hand states would be better suited on the VRPawn and then sent to the AnimBPs for each hand, that way you're running that logic once per hand, not twice.

[@blizzard254]

I realize this is almost a year old at this point, but the InputAction events are deprecated. When you go to add the gesture events to the VR Pawn, there are no InputAction events with pressed/release fields, but they are replaced with EnhancedInputAction events that lead to Cast To ABP_ManequinnXR and the fields are Triggered, Started, Ongoing, Completed and Cancelled. I'm assuming these events can cast to one another and i connected the true booleans to started/cancelled and the false booleans to completed. Some of them lead to triggered though and I'm not sure what the difference is

[@blizzard254]

So it kind of works. Hand motions are very sporadic but the grasp inputs still work. Also everything seems backwards, when i point it closes the fist, when i close my fist it points, etc. Even the hands were backwards, I had to rotate everything 180* negative to reverse them (yes i double checked the video and all conditional branches before anyone says anything)

I should probably join your patreon at this point.. Is there a way to import the action mapping that's there by default in the VR template, to a non VR template project? I hit import on the 'input' section and looked around but couldn't find anything that looked like VR input ini

[@mediocremop1623]

Hi Quinn! I enjoyed following along the tutorial. Is it worth fully understanding what we did in step 8? There's so much to unpack. We took a reference from the Left/Right hand skeletal meshes, used Get Anim Instance, which gets the animation instance, obviously. Epic's documentation isn't too helpful in telling me what exactly that is, but we cast it to a BP_Hand_Anim. What's the point of the variable promotion? It clearly does something because when I get rid of it everything kind of breaks. Your tutorial is easy to follow along, but you don't really explain anything you do. Thanks!

[@QuinnKuslich]

Sorry didn’t explain anything because I didn’t want the video to be too long. The reason that we create a variable is so that we can reference it in other places inside the VR Pawn and grab component.

What’s your experience with the Forward shader v Deferred shader for VR? I know we’re ‘’meant” to use the forward shader for VR, and that’s what the VR template is set to by default, but what are the real world differences? Any other considerations like materials or lights behaving differently?

So in the past I have used the Forward Shader for Quest Projects, and I always noticed that it kind of screws up metallic and translucent materials.

Flip the scale in the left hand by -1 in the Y axis

[@danielepiscozzo333]

@@QuinnKuslich hi, thank you for the tutorial! After i flip the scale by -1 in Y axis, the hand disappear when i move it in the editor. I tried to add the left hand to a child object and flip the Y axis to the child but the result is the same. Any ideas? Oh, im using Unreal 4.27

Can I buy Oculus 2 and start doing it?

[@brycenrushing4412]

I would like to use this in a commercial product I am developing. If I create the static mesh, animations, etc from scratch instead of downloading from Patreon is that okay?

[@QuinnKuslich]

You can still download that stuff from Patreon, and then just swap out the mesh. You don’t need to have a license to use unreal code and when you basically become a patron and download that it becomes yours. The only reason that you can’t use my mesh commercially is because I don’t have a commercial seat of Maya. That won’t be a problem in the future though because I’m gonna be swapping to blender

I'm new to this i did all of it and i cannot see hands on the screen

[@QuinnKuslich]

This is a pretty old tutorial, the new UE template 5.3 and higher just comes with hands out of the gate, I’d recommend using that instead.

[@tobias341]

Hey so followed the tutorial and it worked great but I went to fine tune the hand rotation and suddenly none of the anims work. Any ideas why? Tried restarting and resetting the position

[@QuinnKuslich]

Weird, I’m gonna try and replicate it and see if I can’t reproduce the bug. All you did was change the rotation of the hands? Like the meshes themselves? You might wanna just try and reset the hand anim variable off of event begin play. It’s possible when you change the measures that it broke the references
