Hi, some time ago I have seen a Development stream on youtube which highlighted a new feature (in 4.17), for making some simple character animations in UE4. Is this feature available in 4.17, or was it postponed to a later version?
It is, you can keyframe bones and their positions in the animation window and use it to create your own animations.
A new video from Epic was streamed about new animation features, you can watch it here:
In this training, I’ve linked to a point I remember Alex messing around with changing animations by key frames:
Some other Streams that may be useful:
Hi, I have played a bid with the tool shown in the video you suggested (second link). It seemed a bid too crude. I have since found the video I was talking about: UE4 Animation and Physics Technical Showcase | GDC 2017 | Unreal Engine - YouTube
However, I can’t find the tools from the video in the engine.
It might share some code with the ARTv1 plugin, but it is all in the engine. As far as I know, the ARTv1 plugin is for Maya.
