Hey Guys! Something really important I want to say for those of you who's been in this channel for the past few months- I am sorry that i kinda ditched you for the last month. I had a lot going on- BUT now i am fully back so LOT of new things are coming! And thanks for the continuously support! Means a lot!

Appreciate these videos a lot! So much new info, I might need to rewatch a few times while I experiment in-engine ;)

Cannot wait to see the advanced tutorial. I already used your previous motion matching tutorials but this one puts it all together nicely and is much more concise. Thanks for all the hard work, I hope your channel gets monetized soon. I'll keep checking back to support ya with more watch time.

Another incredible video and I love that you're one of the few channels helping us to get an understanding of MM by building our own setups from scratch (starting with source anims of course). I feel like this level of understanding, building things yourself, is just not attainable by simply following along with a (admittedly very nice) sample project handed down by the talented folks at Epic. Can't wait for your videos to begin to touch on DB interrupts as well as custom logic inside the Motion Matching ABP node. Finally, FWIW, when it comes to traversal, I'm personally more interested in your approach for using root motion authorative montages for discreet anims like a vault, as well as your approach to blending out early into locomotion so that it's responsive to changes in input, while also allowing the tail end of those montage sequences to exist in a MM database so that pose selection can reselect them such that we get that sense of momentum and weight preservation if input does align. I'm personally not _as_ interested in you rebuilding a lot of the detection logic for vaulting, mantling (although I'm sure some portion of your audience will say they really want to see this), as this is fairly run-of-the-mill gameplay programming work, while your insights into motion matching and advanced animation techniques is what makes your videos so unique and valuable. Thanks again so much for all you're doing with these videos. This channel is going to pop off; I'm certain of it, and you deserve it!

I would love to see a follow-up on the shooting mechanics of this system! Thank you for sharing this information.

Happy to help👍

You are the best, please keep going!! The indie dev community needs you!

Choosers are a REALLY cool addition. It's basically an built-in ENUM and switch combined, that can read variable states and update states of the output.

Great tutorial as always man! Keep up the good work!

Great tutorial! Helped me alot!

A legend honesly.

Thanks for this tutorial. Subscribed & liked

Can you show us how to replicate the other functions like crouch and turn in place?

Great tutorial on motion matching, simple and effective! It's great to see a subject so well mastered! By the way, quick question: do you plan to make a tutorial or explain how to do motion matching montages? I don't see any tutorials talking about it, and it's true that being able to mount an upper body animation on a running or walking animation can be super interesting! Thanks again for your videos, can't wait to see the next ones!

Would love to see a replication of just the basic stuff like crouching etc. :) And would love to see how we do blend posses by bool and layered blend per bone, for example in a shooter game with upper/lower body anims, using the motion matching :) Great tutorials! I'm def subscribing

Thxx

After retargeting tona of animations today and planning to build a bp for my character from the ground up, to create afterwards the anim bp for motion matching, you are godsent

hey thanks for the tutorial man! I really like the motion matching it kind of streamlines animating and makes it more flexible with what you can do. I did run into a bit of an issue. My jump still does the A pose even after putting in the schema and chooser. I noticed that in the PSD for jumping that if I click on one of the animations, it doesn't play in the editor. got any suggestions on what could be causing the issue

Chainsaw Man opening took my heart

Hell yeah

Pleasure

Hi i have the problem with footsteps following your tutorial , do you have any idea what can be wrong ? i think the sound trigger from animations dont work.

Hey! Thanks for the video! I've an issue with Jumping. It is not working the way it works for you. I'm doing motion matching to a different character btw. I retargeted the free animation and using that for my character. Everything works fine but the jump. Could you think of anything that might cause this issue for me? maybe a jump z velocity or something

Very nice tutorial. Helped me a lot and was easy to implement into my project. How can i manage to have the animation played at a speed based on my characters current movement speed like a blendspace does? Right now it seems the animations are played at full speed disregarding the actual speed

+Sub man! Great tutorials by you. One question - planned multiplayer replication tutorial on this project?

Hey, if your could go about walking through vaulting like in the demo, I think it would be of great value.

Using the retargeting method shown in the video, the character's fingers become distorted. However, if you create a new retargeter and then import the IK for retargeting, it can solve the deformation issue but causes the IK bones of the hands and feet on the retargeted target to be misaligned. Is there a way to fix this problem?

Hey, thanx for this tuto, that's great ! but about the Turn In Place, its more complicated, that system use Steering : applies additional rotation to the animation's root motion in order to steer it toward a target, I checked in the ABP_SandboxCharacter in the GameAnimationSample project, that ABP made by epic game is really huge far techinical ^^ also, in the character movement, the rotation rate Z is -1 so the character instant turn in to the direction input used by the player, but with the Steering, that permit the animation turn in place to that new direction, I dont know how to use it, but if u can make a tutorial about that, that would healp me a lot ! Thanx !

Quick question please: Why is the traversal animations not in the choosers table?

Can u use animations from both the 500+ Animation Project and Lyra Projects? It would be nice to combine them for the game i am making

how can I make that the character can climb the ledges while jumping?

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. While watching I couldn't help but notice that you changed the animations inside "PSD_Idle" but did not show it. As per following your instructions, I only have "M_Neutral_Stand_Idle_loop" within my Idle database, while I can see you have several others as well. Can you please provide a list of all the animations you currently have inside yours? Thanks!

Hey, do you plan to explain the parkour system of this sample ?

bro the music XD

Bro literally put Blue Bird as background music and thought we wouldn't notice

Can't focus on the tutorial because I'm busy singing along to the anime OPs in the background

Please make a video how to make an AimOffset for animation with weapons in MotionMatching

Hi! Great video! Do youi know how to add state machine animations(for example attack) to this motion matching?

I'd like to see the use of motion matching with say a flashlight with an aim offset.

Hello, and thank you for the tutorial. My data matches yours but I am having trouble with the jump animations. My character doesn't't jump everything/the jump is still broken. He does a half jump and doesn't finish the animation.

Debido a que solo funcionan las 8 direcciones de movimiento cuando activo el flip flip de la tecla que configuré, si quito ese sistema no funcionan simplemente corre hacia adelante

Great video. But please, try it with any custom character. I´m having a problem: when I retarget my character, it works ok but appears suspended in air, and after first loop turns upside down, i mean, head down. By Draging animation on PSD, shows nothing even though the animations display my character normally when I double click on them. This is driving me crazy, i can´t understand what wrong. Any idea ?

hi after using the new pss the air animations are still buggy as in like the character is still trying to run mid air

My character is not jumping for some reason

Does it include crouch jumping?

that mm is too jelly. but how to add your animations, to be able to use for crossbow, axe, gun etc. ?

When is the advanced motion matching tutorial with multiple databases comming?

Has anybody done it on a fully custom character ? I'm having trouble with creating an IK rig and retargeted and so far most videos use already existing Unreal assets or meta humans.

Developers of 500 animations do not use the Trajectories plugin. Why?

Question. Can't you just use the motion matching from the 500 animations project?

How would you add wall run to it?

16:24 There are soooo many beginner tutorials. So many. Ones like these that go deeper into less explored features are so much more valuable. At least from the perspective of a consumer. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for the vid very helpful walkthrough.

I have some weard Jumping Animations.

my turn in place animation look bad you know why?

Good video but is super messy and confusing, if you do for tutorial purpose you shoudl slow down show all steps and avoid giving for granted that watchers know what are you talking about. You always say is super easy, but is not. This video is for mid advance. So better if you say that or make the tutorial so also beginner can follow along. Thanks
