Thank you so much!

Great breakdown I get asked about this a lot I'm just going to forward this video for now on 🤙🏿🤙🏿

Question. I am working on an application for a client. They gave me motion capture data from Vicon, but it is only the skeleton. I don't have an avatar mesh that is rigged to the skeleton. At the very beginning of your video is the ViconFemale_v2 and ViconMale_v2 avatar files. I basically just need those default avatars so I can extrapolate from them and make custom character meshes with these skeletons. Do they come with Shogun software license? Or is it possible to just 'rig' the skeleton to whatever and then retarget to UE mannequin or does some of this mesh data also transfer in the retargeting?

ummmm, is it possible to use keyframes on the motion sequencer to modify the example 'bar' visibility by modifying the 'Alpha' color channel of the simple color, instead of switching it to being a material?

Hey there! Thanks for this video, its a fantastic culmination of the previous videos into one, very helpful and I'll be able to use this to begin creating some usable graphics. One question though, unlrelated to this video but I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to make a countdown timer (think waitscreen for an event to start). It seems easy enough to do using HUD/Widgets but by the nature of the Motion Design tools this doesn't seem to work since using Rundown to play levels doesn't actually "play" them and therefore I cannot figure out how to trigger a widget or hud to appear in the editor without using the Play in Editor function.

Hello Everyone> I have A QUERY> can u plz tell how to emit NIAGARA PARTICLES FROM A GREEN SCREEN VIDEO of Human or Use Movie Source To emit niagara particles only from Viewable Section of the movie clip> and not from the Alpha Channel (may be using media as material on plane with media player enabled) then emitting particles from the plane and not from the Alpha channel of material or plane> can u plz make dedicated video on this

Hi! I installed the plugins but when y try to import, appears a msg about datatables. do you know what is the problem? Thanks!

Do you also have a video about sync/genlock/lens calibration with OptiTrack Systems and Unreal?

this is super cool. i wish there was a community out there just sharing .spak files, kinda like a SketchFab, complete with a viewer and everything but specifically for unreal assets that people want to share and stuff.

what about audio ?

Great tutorial!!! Thank you very much for your work!

Great video Nick!

this is awesome. thanks for the tutorial.

would you mind sharing which genlock solution you use? Thanks

Nice tutorial! i'm facing an issue with the Cloner Actor. All the parameters on the Cloner Component are blocked and it shows the folowing message below the components in Details pane: "native components are editable when declared as a property in c++ " Do you have any idea on how to fix this? tks

Just wow ❤❤❤

Is there anyway to correct feet slippage in Live Link for a PN3 mocap? I'm trying to find a realtime solution.

i have made my text follow my bar... it follows in sequencer but not on preview also masking text works when i play the sequence but not on preview which is a big problem

THIS TOOL JUST CAN'T USE IN UE5

thanks so much

thanks, man. sometimes we have a plugin same problem and is not compatible with version unreal. how can fix that?

well here in July it's not letting me import into 5.4 projects, rejects the 5.1 setting...

Great tutorial and clearly explained, but I'm wondering how can I add an animation modifier to my sphere static mesh? Kindly can you explained to me? thanks in advanced, and keep creating!!

Intense just updated our motive system here here in ATL. Looking forward to trying some dataset test to UE. Thanks for the insight Pixel Professor.

Hello, thanks for this video. But I have a question! How do I render this, because when you render, the activate and deactivate, will not work. It starts directly to fire on frame 1 Thank you for the answer.

Is it possible to make ticker (ex news scrolling message) in motion design tool?

hey, man! I'm trying to figure out how to play a motion design using blueprints... I tried to play as I do for sequence, but I couldn't :(

Haha - I was screaming at the screen, Z OFFSET!!!!!

Awesome brother

best Channel for unreal. thanks man

Nick AND Ander! Good to see you both!

awesome video! i'm learning so much about the motion design plugin here. one question, though. is there a way to automate the "reimport file" for the csv file, assuming that the csv remains the same format, bc this is a big live tv need to be able to pull live data from a csv that is constantly being updated.

Duuuude I’m pumped to go through this entire playlist ooooweeeeee

I admire your patience. For me the clumsiness of this metahuman thing is just pure torture. The convoluted nature of this program just prevents any creativity to take place. It's better to get a movie camera and film a real actor. I wonder what these Unreal Engine engineers have in their minds when they put out a software that doesn't work and make people waste the precious time of their lives trying to find out labyrinthic workarounds to get anything moving. Try to get a decent body for these metahumans and you're done. You're obliged to stick with Epic Games' gorgeous underwear derived directly from Protestant Puritanism and its astronomical levels of sexual repression.

hi, i have seen motion design videos, Man You are awesome and have acalm voice for tough tasks making them look cool and easy. a side question can we output NDI

Boss, how well does this UE5.4 CSV-text display support *Chinese language*? ?

Beautiful and elegant solution - thanks so much! Sure beats brute-force incremental bake and add alternatives :-D However - strangely, when I've added the Facial Animation to the Body, and set its slot to FaceSlot, I get the *full* facial animation (not just the neck and head movement). I can even delete the Face Skeletal Mesh from the sequence, and the full neck and facial animation is present even though I've added animation only to the body.... (Using UE 5.4.2) @pixelprof - thoughts on why this might be??

Tnks!

Great video! My project has dynamically changing text, so sometimes it goes beyond the area I want, is there any way to automatically wrap it?

A god among men.

Literally thank you so much!

Subscribed! This is exactly what I was looking for. Coming from After Effects and slowly starting to get a lay of the land in UE-videos like these help tremendously. I got as far as converting my text to a static mesh, then was attempting to have the mesh follow a circle-shaped spline, but couldn’t figure it out. This is a much more direct solution. Thanks for sharing!

I would have made the video even faster, that no one can follow anymore at all... 🙄

Can you please make in depth tutorial for this.. it will be a really helpful for us 🙏🙏🙏

Great tutorial! But despite being practical in some scenarios, the main purpose of hooking up CSV or other external data is the ability to change data in runtime, but sadly Data tables are static, and there's no ability to trigger re-import of CSV via blueprints ASFAIK, only with C++ (And still, it will be manual, not automatic on CSV update). There're ways with plugins like runtime datatable and custom CSV parsing though, will be great if you could shine the light on them aswell!

This is amazing! Thanks! But I am stuck, UE will not accept my SVG file to save my life. Each time I bring close to the texture constraint, it turns red. I've tried many different versions of SVG, via InkScape and even downloading random files to see.... with no luck.

thankyou so much for this. Hanging for part 3, to get the blueprint working. :)

I love your videos and they are extremely helpful but I am finding myself frustrated waiting for your larger explanation/guide because you skipped over the majority of developing the blueprint and instead used your pre-existing one. In the video when you loaded in the BP Actor you show a section "Default" which shows a button correlating to the BP and allowing you to set the Data Table and Text Actor. I don't have this in my project and I don't know what step I missed. I am really enjoying your videos as I am trying to learn how to use these Motion Design features to develop a broadcast package but lacking prior programming an UE5 knowledge makes this very challenging for me since when you/other videos or whoever gloss over subjects assuming the viewer has prior knowledge. I get it of course, I'm just venting. Anyway wonderful videos that you have here, indeed very helpful for me. I look forward to more of your videos, the one you've mentioned with a broader explanation, and even perhaps some more attention given to Layman's explanations. :)

@PixelProf Thanks for the tutorial. Its easy to follow. I'm trying to recreate this in Unreal 5.4 and encountering some issues. I'm new to MetaHumans and trying to combine MetaHuman Animator animations with body motions from Mixamo or Reallusion. None of the tutorials I've found (iBrew, JSFilmz, Bad Decisions, etc.) have worked. I liked your video because using Blueprints didn't break anything. However, your tutorial works except when using a walking motion where the root position changes. Using a Blueprint on a character in the sequencer seems to makes the character walk in place. I've tried to find a solution to allow forward motion/changing root position in the sequencer while keeping the head animation from MetaHuman Animator but haven't had any luck. Any advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
