I've released two long form (1h30m) step-by-step tutorials for how to animate in unreal Tutorial

My latest (and favorite) is a parkour roll vault using the layered animation workflow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKGYWBJRfqo

the other is a standing precision jump using the pose-to-pose workflow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3BsZL6P510

All feedback appreciated, hope this is helpful!

I will save this with the intention of diving deeper into it when I am not at work.

The reality is that I will forget as soon as I close this page.

I thank you regardless, from someone who knew his way around animation in UE4 but in UE5 it is like trying to learn to read Arabic without eyes

Cool, I've been learning about control rigs this past weekend and there's a surprising lack of actual animation workflow within UE5

I guess "I was told about this twice" is better than "I was told about this zero times"... I hope

I was talking about your video bro. It's very helpful. I used to be animate in Maya. But it was always a hassle to import/ export export the fbx.

same! I really don't miss maya at all (with the exception of the smartlayers plugin)

And animbot

I'm releasing an animation tools plugin for free that has some of the animbot features (selection set, mirroring, copy/paste)... let me know if there are any other features you'd want to see and I'll try and get them in there

Thank. Animbot was one of the biggest reasons I was hesitant to leave maya
