Where is my anim graph?

Im trying to learn how to use the animation starter pack, im following the tutorial from the documentation, however im trying to open the anim graph in my character anaimation blueprint and its not there…

I mean its literally not there… i cant figure out how to make one either. How do i open and/or make a new anim graph for my animation blueprint?

To further describe how i set this up, when i try to make a new animation blueprint, here are all the parent class options that im presented

both of the skeletons seem to be the exact same thing. one is from the UE4ASP_HeroTPP_AnimBlueprint and the other is from the ThirdPersonAnimBlueprint. However, If i choose either one, unreal does not make an anim graph in the animation blueprint… Is there something new in 4.8 that im forgetting? I cant understand why this is happening

that is very strange. have you tried:

  1. closing the My Blueprint tab, and reopening it by “Window->MyBlueprint” and see if it comes back.

  2. Try Windows->Reset Layout

nah didnt work…

I figured it out! i was supposed to choose AnimInstance as the parent class, the other ones dont work apparently
