we are not a triple-A company. we don’t have money to hire animators. But we have the unreal engine for free and all its tools. let’s say we download a free animation and it is not matched with your objects and levels. everything with that animation looks low-quality
in this course, I’ll show you two important ways that you can use those animations like it was for Triple-A companies. as an example, we use a ladder climbing system that you can’t find good animation out there for it first, I’ll show you how to code procedural mesh generation so your mesh and ladder can match your animation. our ladder height can be changed. its rungs offset can change it can have a top ladder or not. even we design level designer guide so if it is not placed properly it shows the level designer. at the and I’ll show you how to use data tables to have multiple types of ladders inside just one ladder blueprint
if with this again your animation was not synced I’ll show you how to use control rigs and linked animations to fix whatever problem that animation has. so first we create a control rig for our character next, we learn about level sequence and curve editor we learn about additive animations we learn about shifting keyframes method as well next, we learn all about anim montages and how to use them properly.
this course is all about fixing problems. I’ll show you most problems that animation can have and how to fix them either with code or control rig and level sequencer and we will talk about the most important debug options for our project so you can see problems easily, like slow-motion and custom print strings but at the end, you will have a fully functional ladder climbing system that is modular with component and data tables that help you implement this ladder system in your other games as well. so let’s learn how to fix the problem.
