Blending animations has never been easier. This tutorial shows the process of blending the "top" and the "bottom" of two character animations. For best results, make sure that both animations have the same frame rate, and the target animation has longer or equal duration compared to source animation.

Anim Mod Tool also has other useful options for animations besides Blend:
Reverse animation, Mirror animation, Loop animation, Remove and Repeat frames.
Straight to the point and easy to follow. Never knew this was an option, thank you.
With this power I shall become an Unreal Animation God, when I figure out how to easily move animation assets between projects so as to not ruin my main project.
good job!
Dude this is actually incredibly awesome and will save me a ton of time
You can also use the cinematic sequencer to blend animations together then bake them and create an animation! (Y)
In sequencer you can only blend the whole animation, as far as I know there is no option to filter certain bone chains. So you cannot get the result as the example in the video. Mix top and bottom of two animations. Besides, sequencer doesn't let you reverse nor mirror your animations etc. Anim mod tool can save a lot of headache and time and lets you create new assets on the fly.
@@AttakuStudio ah sure, I understand!!
Sounds good! Yeah I have blended animations together on sequencer but not by bone!! I’ll check if it’s even possible.
Thanks 🙏
The feature is bugged in 5.2 and 5.3 depending if you’re going from source to target or target to source. Hopefully it’s fixed in 5.4,
@@wywarren Do you mean there is a bug in the Unreal Engine itself or in Anim Mod Tool? What kind of a bug? I didn't get it
@@AttakuStudio the newly introduced anim blending in sequencer introduced in 5.2 that allows you to blend across two animations with a defined bone for matching. We had an open ticket for it regarding the bug. I believe it was matching subsequent anims worked but when targeting previous animations it wouldn’t match the transforms properly on the designated hand off bone. Even toggling match location and rotation permutations didn’t work and epic identified the bug
Awesome asset. Its a huge timesaver. Can you show/explain how to end a Anim Blend on the Target Anim.
Thank you! sorry I didn't quite understand what you are asking.
@@AttakuStudio While I was trying to blend two animations (source, target), I was not able to end the new blended animation using the targets last frame.
@@michaelderosier3505 oh, I see what you mean. The reason is that blend depends on the source animation's length, it cannot exceed that. So in order to let the new animation end with targets last frame you can either play with "start frame" that let's your blending start at the certain point of the source animation (if you use this option then you might need to play with "start blend frames Num" to make a smoother transition with the target) or "target start frame" option, which will let you pick the different starting point of the target (so it will start blending the target from a certain point) , or you can try to make your source longer by duplicating it in the sequencer for example. However, one more option could be to play with frame rates. You could try to export and reimport the target with a lower frame rate, which will make it play faster compared to the source in blending (we might add the option of frame rate adjustment in the plugin itself in the future)
I don't understand, which characters did he put in the beginning?
Does this only for for the UE mannequin such as Manny? What about blending 2 animations from different skeletons?
works with any skeleton, but both animations have to be using the same skeleton
Is it working with metahumans, and other characters as well?
Works on any skeleton.
@@AttakuStudio thanks, guess i have to buy it and check it out
What is the name of the song in the background?
that's one of the tracks I've made a long time ago, it has no name ;)
@@AttakuStudio It's a pretty nice piece. I like it so much. If you don't mind, can you share the full version? :)
@@darkmyreflection glad you like it, the project files have been lost in my old computer unfortunately, I only have this loop left pretty much.
lol I couldn't see any difference???
What exactly blended?
End result just looks like the first animation???
You are the only person that haven't noticed the difference
They aren't the only one. I don't see it either ....
Same. The result isn't what I expected
Look at the first animation how the hands are then on the result with hands they are taken from second animation
@@Javawok what did you expect though? There is no way to include the pelvis bone movement since it's the parent of all bones, you can only blend the top animation from spine01 bone and up. If you can achieve a better result any other way please let me know, we would be happy to implement it.
