@@CopycatStudiosLA morning buddy! Live link works amazingly, I've used it on many projects for mocap shoots and shipped many games with it :) very useful tool!

@@Captainpanda2080 hey there! The 5.5 version is pending review on Fab and should be available soon!

@@Captainpanda2080 The 5.5 version has now been approved! Enjoy!

On the description? Woops good spot thanks :) Enjoy!

@@johno8425 awesome! Happy to help :)

@@alistanov Unreal's Python is offline only.

You're welcome :) Have a great day!

Hey Ryan! My pleasure :) I hope it helps illustrate these things first-hand :)

Hello there crazyguy7585! That's very kind of you to say thank you - you've made my day! I hope it was educational :)

@@MattLakeTA 🥰🥰and also thanks for ur plugin which is really amazing and very helpful for unreal community

My absolute pleasure! Thank you for this comment it's made my day! It may be worth highlighting that I have a character & animation optimisation talk from Unrealfest Prague that will be imminently arriving on the Unreal Engine TH-cam channel, there may be some more useful optimisation tips in there for you! Keep your eyes peeled for that! Have a great day!

@@MattLakeTA Will be looking out for it, thanks for the heads up!

@@mikepatterson8400 Hi Mike! Sorry to hear you're having troubles. This is working on the latest versions 5.4.3. Around 5.2 the only step that changed was the Class Defaults is now where you set the supported class type instead of the function. Hope that helps!

Hey there! Did you manage to solve this? We've got a discord if you'd like to jump on discord.com/invite/makucg465T

Hey! Can you provide your code to see what is going on?

@@MattLakeTA I fixed it after I using the importlib.reload the module

@@x007-w7g amazing!

@@AFeblowitzFilms if you get the string value of the text box you'd be able to send the value to the function :) hope that helps!

@@MrBudoro happy to assist MrBudoro!

Happy to help!

Happy to help!

Hey! I would start to break down the problem piece by piece. First id made sure that the python node is firing, perhaps replace your script call with a basic print to make sure it's triggering and that is not the issue. If it is, then I'd move into debugging your script - are you calling the whole script? Are you calling a function? Break it down with some basic prints and see if it executes! Hope that helps

Happy to help buddy

Hello! Glad you found it useful! Id probably have it split up into multiple functions in the script to prevent that from happening!

@@MattLakeTA thanks. ChatGpt told me that it's not possible to have different return type😀 So I have to avoid internal return (making a long script not using multiple Def function) With you're help, I'm on the point to autiomatically create multiple shots with a nice folder structure> One point more, do you think it's possible to automaticaly create a shot + camera (in it) using python ? or it's better to do it in the utility widget

@@BrunoSommier Absolutely it is possible in Python - I've previously made automation scripts that build cinematics for my previous titles :) Very useful indeed!

@@MattLakeTA and how do you create a camera in the shots, do you use python or the utility widget ? (if you gave a link to somet doc, I could have a look)

@@BrunoSommier I've done it with Python in the past.

Hey there! I have several other tutorials, one includes exactly what you're after - th-cam.com/video/K-NOsXHanLE/w-d-xo.html and another for inputs & outputs - th-cam.com/video/BAM5crm-BMM/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps :)

In recent versions the language use on the button has changed, in 5.4 it now says "Edit Selection In Property Matrix" instead of Bulk Edit. Just look for the Property Matrix text and you'll find it :)

@@MattLakeTA thank you, but I dont have nothing, my project is on 5.2. Saw a comment on forum said they have removed it due to some issues? I'm assuming they've brought it back post 5.2 with different name.

As in offset the entire animation of the camera? If so, then attach it to another actor and move the actor the offset you desire :) Or an additive layer!

My pleasure!

You need to be in an offline blueprint like an Editor utility widget, you cannot run Python in normal blueprints.

You'll first need to bake the data down then export :)

Say for example you had some float values that were driving a blendspace; rather than having the float values calculated in the event graph - you could use the Call Function node, or the Functions on the Blendspace node to calculate the floats as and when they were needed rather than all the time. This will keep functions contextual and only running when needed.

Happy to help buddy :3

Python is offline only, no runtime execution.

You could copy the skin weights from one mesh to another in Maya perhaps? :)

@MattLakeTA are you on discord so we could talk about it better. I just need you to clarify somethings for me... thanks

Animation data is always relative to it's parent, so if the camera is in the root of the hierarchy, and not in any groups, yes the data will be in world space from Maya to UE. :) hope that helps!

Hello there! I'm available on here, Twitter, or feel free to join the Discord server :)

Happy to help! A lot of this stuff is quite hidden away Anytime!

Happy to help!!

Happy to help Jamyz!

Hey Adam, unfortunately my license for Mobu expired and I haven't renewed and just moved entirely to Maya so I am afraid I cannot help you with the latest versions! :(

Hey Oscar, What preset is your camera set to? 16:9 DSLR gives me 1:1 results from Maya->UE. Alternatively, a common issue I see is if the camera is in a group it can put offsets on. The camera needs to be in the root of the hierarchy. Hope that helps!

Hey, what I have currently is dslr it wont be sensor data making it not match though since its a positional offset and not a view offset@@MattLakeTA

@@oscarlowe1872 Ah! If it's not a view offset I suspect it's to do with the animation bake then. Is the camera in the root?

The camera is in the root yeah.Not nested in any group. That's all correct@@MattLakeTA

​@@oscarlowe1872 is there any form of constraints or anything that could potentially not be baked down properly? Animlayers or anything of that sort? I'd check the FBX that is exported, as there must be an issue between your Maya scene and the UE import. Something in the bake or export process most likely.

Hello!! The book has several components for sharing animations through rigs. There's a section on doing it offline through Maya and the necessary steps to retarget from one skeleton to another. There's also an engine focused section on how to setup rigs to share animations. There is no modular clothing workflow however

@@MattLakeTA Cool, thanks for the in depth reply! This seems like a grand book!

​@@MarieBon541If you do pick it up I hope it's useful! I've setup a tech animators focused discord server if you are interested: discord.gg/W33bV6eYnS

Not that I'm aware of, I believe it's saved directly into the uasset. It may be possible to extract it though!

@@MattLakeTA OK

@@m.e.1040 looks like someone has a plugin that does exactly that www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/thumbnail-exporter/questions?sessionInvalidated=true

@@MattLakeTA Thanks!
