I referenced the animation into a blank scene 3 times and rotated the references

@@garethfann oh great I got it thank you 😊

It's just the animations. No normal maps

Unreal market place

Here you go: www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/idles-and-gestures

Just Maya and Viewport 2.0

Great! And how did you managed to add the 3 characters in Maya? A.R.T for Maya only lets me import one mannequin rig at the time.

If I remember correctly, I referenced in the one rig three times and repositioned each one.

Thanks so much! I 'll try that soon :)

Thanks! I've been working slowly on a couple new packs and a "crafting" pack is one of them. I just need to find the time to finish it up. Thanks for your comments!

Sweet, I'm looking forward to your new animation packs!

If I understand your question, the pointing animations are not aim offsets like you might use to change a base animation and make a character face a different direction. They are 4 (if you count behind the shoulder) unique animation files for the 4 cardinal directions. I think you could use an aim offset if you needed to point in a more specific direction

No problem. I can just use Rinterp to set the actor rotation before pointing.

+Jonas Mølgaard Thanks. I used iPi soft for the capture and motion builder for cleanup.

+Gareth Fann ah cool. Thats what i use too. Im still learning how to cleanup in MotionBuilder. I find it particularly hard to fix elbows and sometimes get some wobbely wrist rotations. You got any good tips on how to deal with those?

+Jonas Mølgaard I have a routine of butterworth filter + peak removal + smooth on the arms that I do. Dont use that combo of filters on the whole body or it gets swimmy. For fixing bad rotations or ugly animations, I'll do something similar to what you can see in this video at 25:42. It's the same process in mobu with overriding layers: www.gdcvault.com/play/1023479/Animation-Bootcamp-Tricks-of-the You can use layers to fix different parts of the body without deleting your data

+Gareth Fann Awsome, im starting to look through that video now. And also super cool with the 3 filters. I tend to do that too actually, but i havent figured out which effectors i select when i do it and what ik r/t weights to use for shoulder, elbow and hands when i do it/or if it matters at all?

+Gareth Fann Oh one more question if you don't mind. Do you by any chance know how to export a custum curve from motionbuilder so it shows up in ue4 as a curve? I can do it by adding it Maya, but when i add a float custom property in MotionBuilder, adds some keys and plot it, it still doesn't show up in ue4. And if you'd be interested in some animation/mocap cleanup sparring, contact me on jonas_molgaard@hotmail.com. I don't know any animators, so it would be nice to have someone to spar with from time to time.

+Bartosz Kamiński These are the default materials that the mannequin has in UE4. Nothing special

+David Amunga Yes, it is DIY mocap.

+Frank Moussette I used the UE4.7 mannequin rig whose bind pose is in the T pose I believe.

+Frank Moussette If you are worried about retargeting I'm pretty sure you can adjust the characters pose to match the source for retargeting.

I've tried that before with a rig that used the UE4.7 mannequin in an A pose. I tried moving the arms before like you just suggested, and the rest of the animations were affected by it. So, I ask cuz if its not a strict T pose, retargeting isn't an option. At least for me in this case since my model I'd be retargeting to is in T pose.

Can you load a picture of what your rig looks like?

+Frank Moussette I would have sworn that it was a t-pose, because that's what he looks like when I start animating him, but in UE4 he's in an A-pose. Here's an image: i.imgur.com/28Ai27e.png

Alec Chalmers Of course you can!

TheSaOk Thanks! I'm not sure why this weeks content has not been pushed up on to the marketplace, but hopefully soon.

Matt Cohen Thanks! I wanted to see how my first couple packs of animations did before making more and female set would be next on my agenda.

+Gareth Fann Same wishlist of women movements, childs, and other normal behaviour. Nice work. Do you use a kinect to do it ?

TheSaOk The older blue character from before UE4.7 is a little taller than the new guy, but the animations should work okay on him. It's pretty easy to retarget animations. Here's a good tutorial on that: ua-cam.com/video/3GgVUKcGvAY/v-deo.html

Gareth Fann ok, thanks. :) Good to know, will most likely probably pick up this pack sooner or later.

Game SAVVY The pricing was a difficult decision for me, but I figured that there's the locomotion and weapon packs with hundreds of animations each in them for $70 - $150 and I wanted it to be a good value for someone on a budget.

thank you for this! i'm just learning ue4 and can't justify spending a ton of money on assets. i also don't know how to animate stuff yet.
