Unreal Engine 4 Tutorial - IK Part 2 - Foot Placement Tracing

Рет қаралды 37,715

3 жыл бұрын

In this mini-series we go through what IK is and how it can be used to complete something like foot placement. In Part 2 we start work on getting IK foot placements into our game, starting with how to calculate the new position for each foot.

What a great tutorial! Ryan you're the man! Can you just please tell me do you have a tut on how to also keep correct vertical position of the hips relative to the character's feet?

Mine produced the line, but only from the centre of the mesh, not from each foot. Any suggestions?

Do you have any videos on curves in animations? I can't understand how curves work and what they do

@7:35 My meshes axis point is in the center of the mesh, same as the actors point. Is there a recommendation for how I should accommodate for this? I'm using a custom rig, thanks!

Any chance to do same vid about eye rotation? Im new and have no clue what u doin here and i need to make my character's eyes rotate when enemy player go past me

@teamfardream5863 2 жыл бұрын

Legit Question: Why do i see everyone doing the logic for getting variable values on the pawn? I do my IK stuff from the animation blueprint update. Is it better to do it in the pawn? like maybe better up to date transforms?

2:21 I have a question. You said that we have to take care of the direction of the X axis in the socket. Could we change the direction of the socket or does it not fix the issue? Thanks in advance.

@RyanLaley 3 жыл бұрын

Yes you can change the direction of the socket by rotating the socket

@thirdimpact172 2 жыл бұрын

im using my own mesh and rig, and when i got to the testing line trace part, they were shooting up, any way to flip them? rotating the sockets doesn't do anything.

@thirdimpact172 2 жыл бұрын

I actually fixed it myself, if anyone else has this issue, in the "IK Foot Trace Function", you can add a "Float - Float(180)" and plug that in between the "Get Actor Location" and "Make Vector (z)" on the way to the Start channel on the "Line Trace by Channel".

Sorry, but I think there is a small mistake. End point of linecast must be equal to the player's position minus distance.

Can you explain please? This isnt working for me and this may be why?

@stevesan 3 жыл бұрын

yeah the distance as he does it here ends up just being the Z of the line-end. Which means you're always casting to the same *global* height, which is not what you want.

@matthewsteinmann891 3 жыл бұрын

does it work with mixamo animations? and does it need a specific IK rigged skeleton ?

@tingamer2508 3 жыл бұрын

Probably, in the video he didn’t use the unreal IK specific bones just the normal stuff

Is there no other way to do this other than using the Event Tick?

@ashonline77 Жыл бұрын

damn this is so late but incase anyone else finds this useful, usually when i do IK stuff, instead of using event tick, i use the input event for movement to run the function/line trace since it pretty much functions the same way and traces when you try to move but doesn't run the function the entire time like using event tick. Hope that helps for whoever sees this.
