Thanks so much! courses are inbound!

if you've got video reference for what you mean, throw it in animation-requests in the discord and I'll get on it!

@@dprazo yeah, I think I’m ready for unreal… famous last words, but switching has also made me more excited about game dev than I’ve been in years, so that’s worth it by itself

@@threepeatgames Ik right? Unreal is just soo cool, you're gonna have a blast with Unreal using all those sweet features (lumen and nanite).

all info is in the video

@@threepeatgames Thanks I got it

Btw do you do ALL your animations in Unreal only? Or you move to Blender, casquadeur or other animating softwares.

@@dprazo these are all unreal, I’ll be releasing more tutorials on that over next week or two

thanks! I may come back to that... freehang traversal would be pretty easy to add, but I need to do a bunch of combat and parkour stuff before I return to the land of ledges

thank you! Hope you put them to good use :)

it’s a process for sure! there are still animations I can’t even do, but forcing myself to animate every week is definitely helping!

absolutely! if you’re using unreal there’s an automatic retargeter and same for unity

thanks! good luck on your projects, hope you put the animations to good use!

Fine motorskill animations are pretty difficult from a retargeting perspective. I could absolutely make the animation, but it would require hand-tuning for your target model

sorry just realized I said "hand tuning" when referring to a hand animation... That pun was 100% accidental and I feel the appropriate amount of shame over even doing it accidentally.

@@threepeatgames oh i see.. i'll try to find a tutorial for hand animation retargetting

@@issamaf80 I’m definitely taking suggestions… if you can post video reference in animation-requests on the discord I’ll take a look

Thanks I posted it the suggestion channel :) ​@@threepeatgames

@@Kachikapow I get to combine animation with my unhealthy addiction to AI-generated music :)

Yeah that's a nice touch, haha

@@TheUselessTurtle I’ll admit I’ve never downloaded godot so I’m not a great help here…. If no one else knows how to help and you can’t get it, I’ll download godot to see if I can help

@@threepeatgames thx man I really appreciate you. On top of the amazing work you do, u actually care about those who use it. If no one is of any help i'll reach out to you

thanks!

put some video reference in animation-requests on discord and I’ll take a look! there is a dolphin vault coming in a future week, but I picked that one because I’ve never seen it animated… lots of kongs and cat passes but no ridiculous dolphin vaults…

@@threepeatgames for dolphins?

@@Native_Creation ahh, no it’s a type of vault like a Kong vault but a little more stretched out

@@TheGhos1Face glad you like it! It’s definitely gotten me to spend more time animating, that’s for sure

@@Clydiie thanks! Excited to move into combat animations!

thank you I think?

@@PolyRidge great question! Yes, I always do constraints and ik/fk switching on the base control rig, never on additive layer

@@PolyRidge and no apologies necessary! I want the tutorials to actually help you, so if you run into issues or have questions, ask away!

@@threepeatgames thanks! I must be doing something wrong then... because even doing it on the base level of the control rig bake seems to break it... And i really dont know what im doing differently than what you did... I even thought it was auto keyframing maybe... but it seems like ive got the same features enabled, but it disconnects the IK hand controller... I can try to go back in and set offsets, like setting the location on the last frame of the constraint, then the frame after when the controller gets pushed away moving it back to be "close enough"... but that doesnt seem like the right way to do it...

thanks! I can make that tutorial, but first: do you mean how to combine animations to make a longer animation or how to adjust the different animations so they’re pose matched and smoothly connect?

@@threepeatgames the second one! pose and offset matched with smooth transitions! You show in the little preview a start, loop, and stop walk animation, and it’s all so smooth… My workaround for that gets the job done, but it’s very hack and yours looked so smooth!

@@PolyRidge oh ok, I've already recorded that one and the hand posing one, just need to become unlazy and edit them!

@@threepeatgames hahaha understandable, relatable even 😂

yes, although I think there might be a way to get it going with CC4 characters

@@tubicidio link’s in description

@@threepeatgames it's still broken

@@TheBlackbirdii I’ve tested this on a few devices in incognito so not sure what issue you’re running into: th-cam.com/video/mn4qp6ZAnks/w-d-xo.html

@@threepeatgames thank you !

@@threepeatgames ok, this works, thank you very much!

@@daxmiller2670 th-cam.com/video/mn4qp6ZAnks/w-d-xo.html

there's the ramsterz pack, I don't know of any others though: www.ramsterzanimations.com/store-buy/p/sleep-anim-pack-fbx-only

@@gstreetgames2530 great question! I’m building one for my game, but hadn’t really given much thought to releasing it. If it gets to a point I’m excited about, I’ll package it up and release it

@@threepeatgames That sounds good. Do you currently have videos showing this system off? If not, it would be interesting content to watch.

Awesome! Let me know on discord what you're thinking!

the bake to control rig window might have opened behind your other unreal editor window. if you’re on windows, you can click or hover over the unreal app on your taskbar to see the open windows and select the bake window to bring it to the front. really hoping epic fixes this one

sure, the LandedHeavyCanRoll is just a function that returns a Boolean so you can respond to whichever key press in the character blueprint and set a variable to true if the timing is right, then include that variable to drive the canroll function to return true. then just make sure to reset that variable eg the next time the character is airborne

@@sheikhsadab they’re rough and janky for sure…. I might be a naive optimist, but I hoped they could be used by someone learning mocap cleaning or as a rough blockout foundation for someone working on body mechanics, but you’re spot on, they really aren’t usable without some serious effort

@@sheikhsadab thanks! Let me know if you have any animation requests!

@@threepeatgames I was looking for some tree climbing related animations for some time. I know these kind of assets are a bit rare, but I'm already glad that you asked (regardless of it can be provided or not). Thanks a lot!

@@sheikhsadab I’ve actually got tree climbing as part of the climbing animation set I’m working on, it’s just taking a lot longer to pull together I’d hoped

Hi, thanks so much! I'll probably release a climbing animation set once I've finished porting my parkour animation sets over to unreal and have released those. I'm also planning to release all these animations from the weekly thing as free packs on unreal marketplace and unity asset store once I'm done... if you have any other ideas for animations or animation packs, I'd love to hear them!

I got in on my phone :)

glad to hear it! I had no idea what to do to help there :)

@@threepeatgames 😂 Yeah idk why chrome wouldn't let me in 😂

I'll have to release some more free animations to make a tutorial, but I'll very very likely do that in a future week

I hope so too! Longer term, I might have to do a patreon or subscription thing or something as this takes so much time to do...

@@threepeatgames I would suggest to ask discord followers to make their own animation if they can and you will put their name on TH-cam and upload animation for free. By the way I'm member of your server 😊 when community grows up, people like me want to contribute. So This streak will go on forever.

@@SaifKhan02804 it's an excellent idea and already in the works! The first guest animator is so far above the level I'd hoped/expected to get it's crazy... Can't wait to announce this one!

@@threepeatgames I'm waiting...😃

Thanks for that kind review! If there are any specific ones you'd like to see, throw them in animation-request in discord!

Let's gooo! that will also give me enough animations to make a tutorial, so... bonus!
