[@paulewey7457]

Thanks for posting this, great summary of what's coming out. One question I have is where did you get the Mech model you show in the video? Thanks in advance.

[@KartoonDevelopTips]

Hey, thank you! This isnt my footge, this is from UnrealEngine Roadmap documentation there's a link at the description above if you want to check it out

[@paulewey7457]

@@KartoonDevelopTips Thanks for the info I'll go check it out!

[@dima.osiris]

Hello man! Nice work! Can you tell me please can i use motion matching in Cinematic Sequencer?

[@KartoonDevelopTips]

Hey, thank you! Sorry, but I am not great with sequencer. But it's not suppose to act the same as state machines. Just do whatever you did until now but with motion matching insted of state machines and it should work

[@dima.osiris]

@@KartoonDevelopTips Thanks for your reply! I'll definitely try it :)

[@Antz166]

can you make a motion matching tutorial for vaulting and climbing please? awesome work as always

[@KartoonDevelopTips]

Thank you! For this it's gonna take some more time, but uploaded a tutorial for all the other things few minutes ago

[@grand3dgames]

I don’t understand what kind of performance increase we can talk about if in version 5.3.2 City Sample, I had 50 - 40 fps, now in version 5.4 there are only 25 - 20 fps. And judging by the reviews of other people, in their projects they notice a drop in FPS by half. Do you know why this happened?

[@KartoonDevelopTips]

Sorry brother, I have no idea why is it happening

[@BLOG_BAR]

500+ animations - I haven't found this huge animation package anywhere.

[@KartoonDevelopTips]

Epic will upload it as a sample project with the release of UE 5.4

[@BLOG_BAR]

@@KartoonDevelopTips ah understood, thanks, otherwise I thought that it was already possible to test

[@KartoonDevelopTips]

@@BLOG_BAR unfortunately no, but it will be in just 1 month

[@alphachip]

@@KartoonDevelopTips Actually, in one of the GDC presentations they noted that the animation package will come a couple months after the 5.4 release. I actually went back and found a timestamp for it so people can get their disappointment out of the way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2q9aXaBaptklbssi=nObcUlusuPXc8Myx&t=2732

[@KartoonDevelopTips]

@@alphachip You are right, I just saw that talk an hour ago. My bad here. But at least the motion matching it self is coming out in a month so we will have fun with that

[@nikitafrolov9177]

UE 5.4 is release, but where can i get animation pack?

[@KartoonDevelopTips]

Hey, Epic said it will be released few months after 5.4

[@RiverFox_YT]

for me at least, 5.4 has much worse performance then 5.3 ( based on using the exact same project settings)
