Not a major condition, and there have been many successful artists and designers who are colour blind. @MegaLag is for instance (who does colour grading for films), and NYC sculptor/designer Daniel Arsham who does some art about it.
It's worth noting that if your following along to this on a blank third person character project and you hit R and you ask yourself why is my guy not floppy? You need to select his mesh and under collision set collision presets to custom and set collision enabled to collision enabled (query and physics) otherwise nothing is going to happen. Don't know if you mentioned that, just figured I'd share. 😁
If you had told 13 year old me using game maker in 2008 there would be high quality hour long tutorial videos freely available on the internet in the future about how to use a free game engine used by AAA studios I would have thought you were lying, but here we are. Thank you!
Around the 7:05 mark. It's unclear but "set skeletal mesh component" needs to be connected with that white line to "set mesh." Or you will get warning "Accessed None Trying to read property Mesh".
Did you find anyting around that mark where you can proceed with tutorial if you don't have a custom class? He kind of just says if you can do it this way if you have a custom class. But if you don't there's nothing to show how to proceed.
Your note on Alt+Rotate for constraints just saved my butt after updating some models with new joint orients that had the physics asset joints and constraints in all the wrong directions. This video is hugely appreciated!
Great Video. Helped me out a lot. For anyone having weird collision problems in the mesh, The issue isn't about the contraints or physics profile rather the capsule collision in the CharacterBP. If anyone of you face this problem, Here's what u gotta do: Click on your Capsule component, and Find the collision settings. Set your Collision Preset as Custom and do the following settings: Collision Enabled: Query only Object Type: Pawn Trace Response: set both Camera and Visibility to Ignore World Dynamic: Block World Static: Block Rest of the settings should be set to Ignore Hope this helps.
I've just started to learn the basics of UE5 (within the last 2 days), and wanted to see if this kind of animation was even possible down the line. I am SO pumped to get through the learning to the point where I can come back to this video and start to implement it. I also wanted to say that Prismatica gives off really fun vibes!
Can you help me at 9:30 ? I dont have a custom profile and it is not explained what it is or how to set it up? Or am I wrong? Basically everything after 9:30 is not working because I dont have a profile selected.
@@battl3bear i'm having the exact same issue, the walking animation isn't blending with the ragdoll physics animation and i'm assuming its because i don't have the hitreactionprofile that he pulled out of his ass. let me know if you find/ have found a fix for this
@@triq0 nope. I switched to Gorka Games. He carried me very hard in the beginnings of understanding UE and learning what is possible. Really cant recommend this Channel, unfortunately.
@@battl3bear yea, sucks that this guy occasionally just has things off screen and out of tutorial that are working for him that we don’t have access too. thanks for pointing me in another direction tho, i appreciate the help :)
@@triq0 He doesn't give you his hit react profile that he attaches in the beginning to show you how the component works, but he clearly explains how to set up A profile later in the video if you just watch it the whole way through. You just will have to set up your own profile to use the component class. Would it be nice if he gave us that? Sure. However, this is more of an explanation style of tutorial, not a 'follow me step by step' tutorial.
For a subject it seems like it’s going to be a little intimidating to approach I genuinely wasn’t expecting such a complete and concise front to back explanation. Fantastic channel thank you so much for your help
I was preparing to do keyframe animations till the cows came home, but this changed my mind. Definitely worth subbing for, got lots of value out of this demonstration
6:30 Does anyone know how to get the mash without needing the custom class that he uses. i’m a beginner following along and I have no idea what I’m supposed to do since he glossed over the alternate option for that step.
You can either cast to whichever class your character is using that declares the mesh, (usually Character) or you can use the Get Component By Class node and look for the Skeletal Mesh
yo a tutorial on my favorite type of animation? lets goo! Thanks a lot! honestly I know this subject is particularly hard so this is such a god sent. I will be making sure that I use this on my games when appropiate :)
1:31 i believe this is why games like Tekken (or project L) take SUCH a long time to develop, IN ADDITION to just startup frames, active frames and recovery frames. Tekken 7 Has animations for so many situations
I know answering complex questions like this in the comment section might not be possible but I'll give it a shot anyway if I can get pointed in the right direction: I have a character with physical animation. A weapon (skeletal mesh, tried also static mesh) is attached to the socket in the hand of the character. If I push on the character's hand, the sword follows the hand. If I push on the sword, it rotates in the hand correctly. What I need to happen now is - if I push the weapon, it should also influence the character's physics accordingly, and the hand should follow the weapon/ the weapon should push on the hand and move it. Thanks for this guide anyway 🙏
09:40 Hmm for some reason my character doesn't perform any physical animation with the "apply physical animation profile" node, it just purely ragdolls. Any ideas why? It's a custom character (the pelvis bone names I tried are correct) (the character isn't that unusual I promise) (ok fine its a Jurassic Park style Velociraptor please stop judging me)
You might need to manually apply the Strength of the ragdoll. I forget the function name... Just drag a pin off the Mesh and search for Strength or Set Strength or Apply Strength haha
Exactly what I needed. Honestly, your tutorials are some of the most informative on the internet. Your breadth of Unreal knowledge is insane. This is the best tutorial I've found on physics assets so far, not to mention everything else in this video/series on animation. Thanks so much! Keep making stuff like this!
Dude :) I'm only 11 mins is and I can tell this is a video I'm 100% going to watch till the end. I really like your teaching style, clear and detailed descriptions of how and what things are doing. I have already done physical animation but I want more understanding to to get the result I'm after, for NPC hit reactions in VR. I have yet to come across more broader Physical animation breakdown that's as informative as this in all areas of this subject. Lean't some new trick and answered many of my unanswered questions SUBBED!
Thank you for doing this, was suggesting this weeks ago. Agree, excited to see advanced ragdolls and physical animations blended to getup and death animations.
Wow, this is the most informative physical animation tutorial i've ever seen. I lost a lot of time to understand this thing. But your video helped me a lot. Nice work and thanks!
I have unreal engine but i've never used it lol I make 3d assets and scenes and stuff in blender along with textures but i'm amateur at sculpting and really bad at rigging and animating lol I came across your video and I'm so captivated 😂 you're an excellent teacher!! It feels like i'm sitting in a workshop with other people being taught by a really enthusiastic lecturer lmao
For whatever reason I get an error at the "add impulse" part 42:26. It says that physics need to be enabled on the skeletal mesh even though they are enabled on the bones below the pelvis. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here as the body flops over fine it just doesn't get smacked back by the impulse. If anyone can help that'd be great. Also, you're amazing Charlie.
@@PrismaticaDev I could've sworn I replied to this last night but I must have been delusional since the reply isn't showing up. Either way I figured out the problem. So it was saying that I hadn't "enabled physics to the skeletal mesh: BP_PlayerCharacter_2.CharacterMesh0" in the error log and it wasn't applying the impulse as expected. The reason why (Or so I think) is because I was using a sphere trace for a punch and not a multi sphere trace, so the hit was getting the capsule (I believe) as that was the first and only thing it hit. Since the capsule doesn't have any bones it was like "what are you doing you muppet? Here's an error.". So now I have a multi sphere trace which is actually hitting the skeletal mesh and getting the bone information for the add impulse node. I think that fixed it the correct way, time will tell. Thanks for you help Charlie, your comment gave me the hint I needed to figure it out. Also, I watched your video on how to get help and have now gained new help getting knowledge.
@@ikire1131 Yes I was facing the same issue and I managed to fix it, the problem for me was that I was trying to trigger HitReaction by a projectile and the projectile was hitting the capsule and not the mesh that's why the physics was not enabled on the mesh and hence I was getting that error. Now the solution is reduce the radius of capsule collider or you can remove it completely and use Mesh as a PhysicsActor. Hope it helps as I was struggling for a few days on this
i'll be honest, for tactical fighting games where being plus or minus is part of the gameplay and skill gap, i like animating all the different hit reactions, it's very calming but i guess i haven't been doing it long enough to drive me crazy lmao
Dude that runescape music in the background made it so difficult for me to sit through this tutorial and pay attention without dropping this to go play some osrs.
This was extremely valuable! Demystified a lot of whats going on it the physics asset view for me. Now if only i could get it to work as well on a daz skeleton...
hey all this is a weird question but for some reason I cant seem to be able to "poke" my physics asset ? ctrl+left click dose not seem to do anything but crtl+right click dose let me grab it , iv tried playing with the values seeing if that was it even when i set poke strength it dose say its the left mouse button, from grabbing it seems to act as intended but pokeing seemed like a good way to test a projectile hit dose any one have a fix or encountered a similar issue ?
30:20 good to see someone with a lot more skill and experience getting the axis wrong in UE, rotation still often makes absolutely no sense to me 😅 EDIT: 43:20 That "note" seems quite important to know. That would explain a lot of janky hit reactions I got over the last ~2 years...
I encountered an issue while implementing this, let me try to explain it and maybe think of a solution. When multiple hit occur in a small timeframe (like when shooting with an automatic weapon), the mesh that is hit doesn't have the time to transition back to its straight position and stop simulating before the next hit occurs. The new hit will just put the blend weight value back to 0, but the hit reaction won't be correct since you won't get the movement and velocity of a new impulse triggered from where the mesh currently is. Instead the mesh will just snap back the 1 blend weight position. The new impulse does happen but it starts from the laid back position, not the currently displayed position. Two solutions, one quick and easy, one a bit less intuitive. 1: shorter recovery time to avoid the issue altogether 2: instead of using blend weights to smoothly transition back to the non-simulated positon, you can put a little delay after a hit, and after that, set the physical animation profile to some really high values, and the skeleton animate back to it's default position progressively. (There is a Make PhysicalAnimationData node that can create a profile in blueprint.) Curious to hear your thoughts if you read this
Ok what i ended up doing was just put higher values in the physical animation profile (500, 50, 500, 50) with local turned off. This way the mesh snaps back to it's normal position right after the hit du to the physics. Then the transition done by the blend weights is just a tiny adjustment
I'm just saying Charlie, this is your most popular video on youtube, and if a guy was to say update said video with physics control implementation.... I dunno, that might go over well :P
You raise a very good point :P I'll be doing one later this year when I also try out the Physical Character Movement stuff - I can imagine them working very well in tandem...

@7:23 the mesh isn't listed under components. I'm not sure how to add it
@7:00 he right clicks and promotes the value to a variable. It is then added to your components
I encountered an issue while implementing this, let me try to explain it and maybe think of a solution. When multiple hit occur in a small timeframe (like when shooting with an automatic weapon), the mesh that is hit doesn't have the time to transition back to its straight position and stop simulating before the next hit occurs. The new hit will just put the blend weight value back to 0, but the hit reaction won't be correct since you won't get the movement and velocity of a new impulse triggered from where the mesh currently is. Instead the mesh will just snap back the 1 blend weight position. The new impulse does happen but it starts from the laid back position, not the currently displayed position.
Two solutions, one quick and easy, one a bit less intuitive.
1: shorter recovery time to avoid the issue altogether
2: instead of using blend weights to smoothly transition back to the non-simulated positon, you can put a little delay after a hit, and after that, set the physical animation profile to some really high values, and the skeleton animate back to it's default position progressively. (There is a Make PhysicalAnimationData node that can create a profile in blueprint.)
Curious to hear your thoughts if you read this
Ok what i ended up doing was just put higher values in the physical animation profile (500, 50, 500, 50) with local turned off. This way the mesh snaps back to it's normal position right after the hit du to the physics. Then the transition done by the blend weights is just a tiny adjustment

@@HWGamingDev it should all work as is in this video :)
@@PrismaticaDev I tried it the way you showed in your video, but my player didn't ragdoll like it did in the video.
THANK YOU

Congrats on the sponsorship!
Amazing tutorial. Also, one could just stop at 10:26 and make a drunken bar brawl simulator XD
