UE4: Control Rig - Basic IK

This is the second tutorial video for an experimental series of videos about me learning rigging and animating with the help of Control Rig in Unreal Engine.
I was so thrilled by all the good feedback, I sat down and made this video a bit earlier than planned.
This time we do Basic IK for the hands and check out the visual debug options.
Unreal Engine Version: 4.25.1
Also check out the Control Rig Mannequin Project on the Marketplace for further studies:

The reason I wasn't extending this was that I was working on a official one for 4.26, which got released today: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r5iHrbGnr8DPYHk.html

There's a deficit of good or advanced or practical unreal engine tutorials. You're filling that gap. Keep up the good work.

one thing I have learned from studying Control Rig is you HAVE TO create your controls as children of the bone you want to control (it will create a space)and THEN move them to their own hierarchy(both control and space). This is especially crucial for IK solvers, had ALL SORTS of axis problems before I took this approach.

The fact you take the time to outline the workflow from external programs into ue4 for this specific use case is invaluable and you never see that explained anywhere.. Thanks!

very useful tutorial. I wasted two hours and couldn't attach even a control rig correctly until met the tutorial. Thanks !

I really liked both this and the last video on the Control Rig, your mini tutorials are so much easier to consume than the Inside Unreal video. Please tell me you're going to do more - there were a lot of solvers there, I'd be really interested in seeing what they're used for.

(Just hit this problem myself so posting a workaround in case someone else hits it as this still seems to be one of the best Control Rig intros) I couldn't find this either but came up with a workaround which seemed to work. Select the bone that you're going to want the space to apply to, such as the hand bone in this example, and right-click on it to select 'Paste'. Now click back on the control space you've just created and right-click to choose 'Paste Global Transform'. This should move the space so that it exactly lines up with the bone, you can see this when you create a control inside of it as that'll appear at the exact position of the bone.

my whole rigged character in unreal engine 4.26 falls apart around the time I use the HandSpace1. right-clicking I still can't see the space and then I attach basic IK and then my arm stretches super far out into the distance.

Great tutorial Andi! When I watched it I got super excited to try it out. Can't wait for the next part. Quick question: Can the rig also be applied to animations in order to edit them? I think I read somewhere that you can edit animations with the control rig but haven't found any material about it.

What about IK constraint modifiers based on a delta of acceptable range of motion ? Its a really good way to solve IK for the weird elbow issue without having to put a node there. Ubisoft did a GDC about constraint modifiers last year and it is a fantastic IK system.

I'm getting a strange issue where when I replicate whats at around 5:28 in the video, the middle bone shoots way down in the ground. I notice some of the bones on the rig that I bought are at scale 100 in the control rig default window for initial transform and for global transform. The blender fbx doesn't have any scale issue though. Any idea what could be causing it?

Thanks for the tutorial, it's really spot on that you decided to cover one topic per session. I saw a video utilising your fully rigged spider with an interesting functionality of the tail: there was an FK for the first bone (with physics for the tip) and IK for the tip itself. That one really blew my mind! Is it straight forward to do or are there any challenges with that setup?

Part 3 soon pls? I'm wondering about best practices for a spine. I'm using bespoke controllers per spine bone right now and I'm not sure it's the best approach. I love the way CAT does it in Max and I think CCDIK is what I want but I can't configure it to rotate the same way that CAT does. I'd also love to see what we can do with human fingers for curl, spread, flay and other controllers.

@AndiDev 4 жыл бұрын

There is a Control Rig node in AnimBP and when you add parameters to your control rig you can expose them to manipulate them in AnimBP. I will come to that soon. There are also some improvements going on for upcoming versions.
