I do not like the blender animation but their are no keyframes on the animation bar so I cant figure out how to use it, im trying to make a walk animation but cant add keys. Any advice?
As far as I know, sadly you can’t animate by keyframes on Unreal, but that’s to be expected because Unreal is a game engine, they expect you to come with the assets to arrange them and make a game, Blender is your best choice if you don’t want to pay for software, so better start learning, there isn’t a lot of tutorials about rigging and animation in Blender, but there’s enough to learn the basics (I don’t have any particular video to recommend but just check youtube) and if is for animation there’s even more because you can see even Maya videos on animation as logic behind animation between 3D software doesn’t change as much.
But if you’re THAT stubborn and want at any cost to animate in Unreal, you have a big record button at your bottom right and you can give orders to the bones by blueprints, those are the only ways you can animate inside Unreal, and as you can see, they’re not very user friendly.
EDIT: Oh and if the thing that’s pulling you from using Blender is the pivot, you can enable it by clicking in this area
So good luck with your adventures in the animation world.
