This is gold, happy to support now and would love to see more from you

Thank you so very much for your kind words. I'm ecstatic to receive such positive feedback...! There is indeed a game in the works, but it's announcement will have to wait until we have enough to share and create a page on Steam. For now I have Patreon, and I'm soon announcing that the first 150 people to contribute via Patreon will receive lifetime access to my Discord even if they cancel their Patreon membership after one payment. Your kind words and support mean a great deal to me, and I assure you that there are exciting times ahead! 😁

Thanks man

Oh, well it looks like you only did the IK rig on the gun... I know I might be asking to much, but is there a possibility that you could direct me to a video or guide on creating a GUN skeleton in UE5 SK mesh tool? Still an amazing video, something I really needed as an amateur animator

I have this same issue

Thanks for your patience! 🙂

Thanks for your kind words! That's more environment design and I'm focussed on programming, but there are fantastic environment design channels put there such as MagnetVFX!

@@PitchforkAcademy all good, thank you :)

@@HassanFadel-h1d You'd have to be more specific.

This video was recorded in 5.4...

I don't understand your question...

@@PitchforkAcademy oh what i mean is since i don't know if all your other tutorial(the third person weapon replicate one) only work in local multiplayer or does it also work in online multiplayer?

No I don't do that sorry

@@PitchforkAcademy All good, thanks again for all the guides

Check out my Ammunition Inventory video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/apabdbZ-3c7ag6c.html 🙂

@@PitchforkAcademy Awesome Thanks!!!

Oh thanks very much... 🙂 Take a look at this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y699aKx2xL7NfH0.html

@@PitchforkAcademy I understand, thanks, I'll check it out

@@PitchforkAcademy i should { crouch }

Maybe one day, but in the meantime there are some excellent tutorials already out there... 🙂

@Killicon93 Blender might be better for animation but I'm not familiar with it. I have made some pretty nice animations in sequencer without any training!

@@PitchforkAcademy IKs, some good poses and decent timing will make for some quite alright animations. But like one feature I found really handy for making those small high-fidelity shaking movements in Blender was using the 3D cursor as a pivot point. That said, I did have in mind that I'd limit the fidelity of the animation for my project, so perhaps confining myself to using UE5's sequencer would provide a pretty natural constraint for it.

@@PitchforkAcademy Sitrep: I gave it another try and started getting the hang of it, even though the controls were so comparatively clumsy to blender that I got a bit pissed off at first. And then the dangn thing crashed while I was on the phone with my mom. I think for now its value is probably best suited for when you need to quickly make small supplementary animations for a character, or need to tweak something. And another great use is if you gotta animate something that needs to interact with the game space and don't wanna import and export things back and forth to get the references from the scene into your 3D software.

I don't know, can you?

@@PitchforkAcademy just tried it myslef. It's working, kinda. You still need to make a couple of keyframes during animation, but you dont need to tweek or delete exising ones, so it's easier i guess

@retrocasual_ Not sure that would be easier. One thing you could try is an additive that pulls the left hand out over the course of the whole animation to better align it, but personally I like to be a bit more precise and make my own keyframes as shown in the video. Obviously I'd spend a bit more time on it and make it perfect though haha

That's so weird. Can't you just scale it down in the control offset settings?

@@PitchforkAcademy Thankyou, i swear i tried that earlier and it didnt work but its working now. thankyou for responding to me and so quickly

Start here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nKiagM5kq6q9d30.html

@@PitchforkAcademy Thank you very much! I will be starting from the link posted. The whole creation process is so fun and challenging. I have never done this before so very excited to see what i can come up with.

Nope. Everything I ever release will be free on youtube. 🙂

Click the Windows drop-down menu up the top left and find the World Outliner

@@PitchforkAcademy Thank you so much, I've learned a lot from this video but I need to get better at adjusting movements, then I can finally animate :)

I can certainly try! Thanks for the idea I'll add it to my list... 🫶

I’m on 5.3.2 and I don’t have the plug-in nor can I right click to create modular rig

@@xxspecterxx It's a new feature in 5.4...

Of course...

Are you running an animation on the coffee cup itself?

@@PitchforkAcademy yes, it doesnt work at all. In sequencer all fine, but after baking - baked cup has no animation. Sorry, I'm a bit noob)

I can share a screen recorded link,if it can help

I think maybe I can make animation in blender and export it

@@user-yk9kh3lc6m Is it a static mesh or a skeletal mesh?

Hopefully yes!

There must be a way but I haven't dived into that...

​@MizzoFrizzo I'm working on a project that I would love to build on top of some of the work you have done. If you can solve this, I will be making the switch over to unreal. Basically if nintendo made Halo. If you wanna see the GDD, let me know!

@@PitchforkAcademy Yes, it is possible to add custom animations to a first-person shooter (FPS) game in Unreal Engine 5 without losing the Inverse Kinematics (IK) foot movement. Here's a detailed guide to help you achieve this: Step 1: Setting Up Your Character and Animation Blueprints Create a New Character Blueprint In the Content Browser, right-click and create a new Blueprint Class. Choose Character as the parent class. Name your Blueprint (e.g., "BP_FPSCharacter"). Add Components Open your BP_FPSCharacter Blueprint. Add a Skeletal Mesh component and assign your character mesh. Add a Camera component and position it for first-person view. Add a Spring Arm component and attach it to the Camera component for better control over camera movement. Step 2: Importing and Setting Up Custom Animations Import Custom Animations Import your custom animations into Unreal Engine 5. Ensure that the skeleton matches the one used by your character. Create an Animation Blueprint Right-click in the Content Browser and create a new Animation Blueprint. Select the skeleton that matches your character. Name it (e.g., "ABP_FPSCharacter"). Set Up Animation States Open the Animation Blueprint and set up your animation states (e.g., Idle, Walk, Run, etc.) in the State Machine. Create transitions between these states based on parameters like speed and direction. Step 3: Implementing IK Foot Movement Enable IK Bones Ensure that your character's skeleton has IK bones for the feet (e.g., ik_foot_root, ik_foot_l, ik_foot_r). If not, you might need to add them in your 3D modeling software and re-import the skeleton and animations. Set Up IK in the Animation Blueprint Open your Animation Blueprint. In the AnimGraph, use nodes like FABRIK or Two Bone IK to implement IK for the feet. Connect these nodes to adjust the foot bones based on the IK targets. Adjust IK Targets Use the Transform (Modify) Bone node to adjust the IK targets based on the ground surface. You can use line traces to detect the ground position and set the IK target positions accordingly. Step 4: Blending Custom Animations with IK Blend Poses In the AnimGraph, use the Layered Blend per Bone node to blend your custom animations with the IK adjustments. Set the blend settings to ensure that the IK adjustments only affect the lower body (feet) while keeping the upper body animations intact. Adjust Animation Curves Ensure that your custom animations have appropriate curves for foot placement and movement. Adjust the curves to blend smoothly with the IK adjustments. Step 5: Testing and Debugging Test in the Editor Place your character in the level and test the animations. Ensure that the IK adjustments are correctly applied and that the custom animations blend smoothly with the IK foot movement. Debugging Use the IK Debugging Tools in Unreal Engine to visualize the IK targets and bones. Adjust the IK settings and animation curves as needed to achieve the desired result. - chatGPT. Does this help?

I recorded this in 5.4....

@MizzoFrizzo Yeah I got that, but I just wondered if there is something I have to activate to get the bake option?

@@HappyScarySad Nope

Nahhhh

@@PitchforkAcademy hm

@@HeyShotgun just watch his true fps series and everything becomes clear with practise
