Hello guys and welcome back to another video! In this video I will be showing you how to use Motion Matching in Unreal Engine 5.4
Motion matching is a new technology added in 5.4 which replaces the need for using state trees. Let me know what you guys think about motion matching in the comments below! Also Epic games will be releasing the sample project with 500+ free animations soon.

Sir please make video in app purchase play store and app store big fan sir please reply sir
how will I know when you do the 5.4 update to the course?
Ty so much, bro. I just started this jorney and u'r the best free content tutor so far I've seen. Really appreciate what u'r doing, pls keep it. Ty ty ty.
Always worth the time. Great tutorial. Thanks again.
Man there were like 3 tutorials which spoke about the subject and from all 3 you were the best
Spectacular tutorial! Thank you!🙏
Love it, straight to the point tutorial.
I got stuck on a similar tutorial on another channel. You provided the solution (thank you!). It had to do with the foot bones in my skeletal mesh being named RightFoot and LeftFoot, which differs from the "foot_r" and "foot_l" for the Unreal Mannequin, which the Pose Search Schema chooses as a default.
Hey thanks a lot for the great tutorial :) I have a few bugs when implementing and I saw you have it too in your video : when "Use Controller Rotation Yaw" is selected, there is some glitches when turning. When I press two keys like up+right, the character starts to walk instead of running,. When I stop, he is a kind of "jumping" animation glitch (that you have in your video). How can I fix this ? Thanks a lot again !
Brother, what you did is very exciting. I hope you can update the tutorials on crouching and jumping, and preferably climbing and gliding. I look forward to your wonderful videos.
I love your tutorials ❤❤
hey smart poly great tutorial my friend you have helped me a lot. I was just wondering I am trying to work out how to make custom animations and characters for motion matching (im really struggling) but i was wondering what is the (pose search normalization) doing? you referenced your database to it but you didnt reference the normalization anywhere else? im quite new to UE5 so i might be missing something. thanks for all your vids great help!!!
I was just thinking I would love to see some IK foot placement with this. It's good to see value being placed on the quality of the animations.
Thankyou
can this be used to blend between 2 different animations in sequencer to blend into one another more smoothly?
I've been waiting 6 years, since SIGGRAPH 2018, for this to be added to the engine. I expected it to be more complicated but wow, it's like magic. I want to see some edge cases however. Like how to induce the training to move during an action, or a physics event that needs blending.
Wow nice. Lyra animations are such a gift to the community. Just wait until we have this pack of hundreds before 2025 wow.
It'll be worth the wait, I promise ;)
@@LongmireLocomotion Damn, a promise from the man himself means something. You're a legend man! Keep up the good work.
@@Skyflairl2p Ha, thanks. It may not be everything you've dreamed of, but it's gonna be a solid start.
@@LongmireLocomotion I've learned pretty much everything I know about character movement thanks to ALS3/4, I'm sure this is the next step! Cant wait!!
@@LongmireLocomotion I sees you, thought you'd abandoned youtube xD amazing updates since ALS v3 bro, revolutionary ideas, keep em comin an thanks
Awesome❤
Can the boss talk about the new node usage methods and effect function optimization added to the ue5.4 substrate new material system?
How is one supposed to animate animations designed for motion matching? Should the characters root bone be moving inside of for example blender?
is there is a way to add multiple animations of the same direction like moving forward and let the sytem chose a random one every time to have litle variation in movments?
you doing well
That's for the info
good i finiched your blueprint 3 videos its good noxw to make a fourth on or go to ai tree behavior
Just one question. Is this procedural just for gaming or for
film proposal as well?
Thanks for the tutorial, but why do you set the start and stop anims also to loop? Doesn’t seem logical and I think I get better results by turning loop off.
Would this work for animations like attacks or jumps?
@SmartPoly
@javioverflow
This is what I was going to ask, I hope to get the answer .Thanks
How can you make multiple animations, for example the standard walk and run animation and then walk and run with weapons?
How do we handle crouching, prone, swimming etc?
Please let us know is this good for multiplayer as well ? All i know is that the networking and conversion from single to multiplayer has big issues and bad perfomance in UE5 because of the custom movement, that cannot be easy translated between client and server. So special plugin need to be bought which are pretty expensive. Will this be a good solution for multiplayer server-client networking?
Why would you not include jumping, prone, crouching in this?
Can you use this for climbing or swimming or do you have to combine this with state machines
hey i have exactly followed the tutorial but when came the time to put my animation into the pose search database i am not able to see them , and at the end when i compile the ABP my character is still in T pose , iam sure i did not do any error , someone got a fix for that?
this might be out of context but this do u have any idea about this Month free Assest ? it's the 2nd and they didn't update them epic games gonna stop giving free assests ? in case u know ofc thank you
for some reason, my motion trajoritory reads A key as moving forward, and D key as moving backwards while going up and down gives me moving right and left movements. I am not sure what I did wrong unless the root motion in the animation is moving the wrong way.
Nice! but, and the jump?
now I wonder if motion matching could also be used for other aspects such as first person animations as well.
it should be for both surely. they know fps is more common than tps
I'm not so sure that more is always better. Certainly a few good ones that meet your specific needs will be better than 10,000 that almost meet what you need them to do.
You make a good point, but I'm rather excited about this. It's probably just me, but animating has always been the worse part of game dev for me personally.
Most of which this motion matching & the free anims ue will be dropping soon just sort of fix lol
@@SamuTheFrog I feel you on animating and game dev. It's more fun to mess with gameplay logic, particle effects, and / or AI. Dealing with animations is not the most fun activity LOL.
Can motion matching be used for other forms of locomotion, like jumping, vaulting, sliding, leaping, rolling, and so on?
yes
Yup
And how to do jumping or crouching with that?
yes also would love to see a tutorial for that
call for is falling or is crouching in your AnimGraph, then use pose by bole in the event graph
@@jayjadotte1683 what is bole? would love to hear more about it
@@D4KiRZ he wrote it wrong, he probably meant "Pose by Bool"
@@B5KDEV ahh i saw another video where it is done with "Pose by bool" and 3 databases: 1 normal, 1 crouch, 1 jumping
I'm stuck a 7:10. I have important some Mixamo Animations that i used with the old system. Somehow they are not played in that window. But they do play when i double-click them.
How can i fix that?
How would I apply this to a custom character rig?
How can we add jump or turn in place?
My knight in shinning armor
I didn't get the debug part. How did you get to the green instructions? , min 12:49
You should do the CharacterTrajectory assign to variable also that BeginPlay, they is no need to do it on update and it's more costly in perf do redo it ever tick. Good tutorial otherwise.
Anybody know a youtuber who has content on creating attack animations in unreal using the control rig ? I feel like the motion matching would be really good with enhance inputs.
You seem to have a deep misunderstanding of how all this works.
@@SamuTheFrog maybe so, but I don't think so, since it can be used for jumping, crouching, falling, etc.. The variable should be a vector point, going from a run to a dash run attack or spin based on a click should be possible in theory. Since attack animation has root motion also.
so this kinda acts as a shortcut to setting up State Machines and messing with IDLE/WALK/RUN?
I think still people (solo developers) will use the normal method instead of motion matching as it requires a lot of animation .
Note : I could be wrong
What about Jump ?
I want to ask for A toturiol.. I want to make horror swat third person shooter Game... I want to add metahuman With swat clothes and that easy, can you make like when you press Q you open (Ui) With some slots every slot it Is A cloth and you can equip them while the main swat cloth Is default equip (you began Game With until you change it)..... Pleaze
Now how do you make the character hold something with motion matching
doesnt this just use animation blueprint anyhow? So you just add the item into the socket you have on your mesh, GripPoint for manny and the item should be there. That hasn't changed, no? At least that's how i would do it. This just overrides the AnimGraph. You create other "motion databases" for animations that use the item you are holding.
So basically you create variables or whatever that tract if the character is holding the item - if yes -> use that database. If not -> the other one.
Smart Poly: First thing you need to do to get started is to obviously make sure you have Unreal Engine 5.4, and go ahead and launch unreal engine 5.4
Me: Ah Crap, i have 5.4.1. I failed the first step. :)
Now try diagonal strafe and see how much your setup sucks without orientation warping. Motion matching is not a plug'n'play feature and surely not suitable for beginners.
my character is almost always bugging like at 13:10 on non flat maps. how do u fix that?
feed it more animations and if that doesnt help than wait until they update it, its not perfect yet sadly (still in beta)
why while moving backward, animation is more quick
going NorthEast and such are not working
and Jumping/Crouching somehow also not working :D
bom bom
it didn't work for me. my man just slides alone the floor, I'm really not sure wat I've done wrong
Im following your multiplayer game tutorial. This part would be an appreciated addition, such as removing the online part from the game and making it single player
Does it work on ai too?
It works on any humanoid using the ue skeletons. It just takes locomotion information and selects animations based on that. Assuming you are able to make a reference to the information it needs, it should work for anything
Amazing! Thanks bro ❤
Nobody ever says how to do diagonals
It's replicated for Multiplayer?
Sir please make video on in-app-purchase system for Play Store and app store in unreal Engine
The voice inflection at the end of some sentences is so offputting at the start of the video. After it starts, when the language is natural, its very good.
Sounding like inspiration tuts or other non-native English speakers accents is really distracting. Please speak naturally at all times instead of an AI. Thanks!
Nice, an other unusable feature
So basically you dumped all sorts of animations into one database, which included jumping, crouching, etc.... and you did not elaborate on how to make those work. If you are going to do something, do it right the first time. Because when you don't you waste people's time. You wasted my time.
Its cursed that most indie dev games will now have the same anims. I guess nobody will sell 100+ of custom anims on the Store, and if he did it would be super expensive. I guess im going to use state machines and a limited amount of anims for my project to make it NOT look generic haha.
I know right? Games are gonna be the same shit over and over again. Like that thing that introduces GPT into unreal engine npcs...
Do you have a discord? I need to ask you something in PM.
This is all sweet, vidz on YT are nice for marketing.. true. This understandable. But when we, ppl who paid a premium price for your course, will start getting sensible updates to the content?
What updates? The current course as it stands is complete. Over 20+ Chapters, 250+ Lectures, 70+ hours of content. If you haven't completed each lecture, don't complain about adding more content. This course already has more content than 99% of other unreal courses you'll find online.
Plus i'm working on remastering it for FREE in unreal engine 5.4 - so I wouldn't complain.
