Thanks for that awesome tutorial! I tried to make a jump animation based on this and I discovered a pretty weird issue in UE4 so I thought I'd mention it in case it helps someone. Apparently, UE4 ignores all root motion along the Z-axis unless the character's movement mode is set to 'Flying'. So to get it to work, on keypress, I had to set the mode to 'Flying', play the montage, wait for the montage to finish playing (delay) and then set the movement mode back to 'Walking'. Have you ever faced this?
Ah very good point - It's not that the engine ignores Z axis movement, it's that Gravity always applies haha. So when your character is moving up, they're also... moving down. I ran into this issue with Climbing animations and yes, setting the movement mode to Flying temporarily is the best solution!
This series should be part of the official UE docs lol, I've learned more watching these tonight than I have in months of reading UE docs lol. Cheers mate!
I’m having a really hard time setting up my lighting for my terrain. So far it looks super super bright and I’m just trying to go for the flat look that you’re world gives but it looks so so bright.
I spent last week looking how I exported animations to unreal, and couldn't find it. I had blender file with mannequin and had no idea what I done with it. I had value idea that I used some kind of plugin, but couldn't remember name of it. Thanks to you I solved problem.
How did you export the rig from Blender to Unreal without having that stupid bug where it creates a new root bone? Renaming the rig to "armature" will stop Unreal from creating a new root bone, but then the animations will be shrunk down. Am I missing something here?
thank you so much for the amazing tutorials! I always wanted to get deeper with UE4's animation system. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to read what is on your screen and I get dizzy trying to keep up. I think your screen resolution might be too high for the recorder to capture. Can you please increase the size of the icons/text in your future videos? Best wishes.
Hey Yavuz! Unfortunately I don't think UE4 can resize it's UI :( I could potentially change my screen resolution but I would have to change all of my input settings when I change from recording to streaming. I've started recording the screen at 2k resolution so I can crop in whenever there is any vital info in the UI, so rest assured if I'm ever talking about important settings I'll zoom in on them :)
Nice video! How would you say Mr Mannequin compares to Control Rig for animating? How about compared to the official Blender to Unreal and Rigify addons for general use? Pros/Cons of each, any reasons you use the workflow you do etc? Subbed!
Hey hey! I haven't actually tried Control Rig yet - any recommendations of videos to learn from? As for Mr Mannequin/Blender, I just really love the rig itself and how easy it is to export meshes/animations, and it also eliminates some back and forth (for example, a particular animation might cause some clothes to clip and look janky, so I can fix them whilst in the middle of an animation etc)
Noob learner here: question. What makes root motion important? Where is it best applied? For example: if I had a perfect walk loop cycle - would it be ideal to have the root animated? Or is it better to keep the root static and have the characters' movement driven by the controller input? I want to understand when to and when not to use root motion. Thanks!
The main difference is that Root motion dictates the movement of the character, whereas non-root motion is designed to "follow" what the character is doing. So in the case of walking and running around, you may want to have very responsive and accurate movement without worrying about it looking 100% perfect (call of duty) versus something where immersion and detail are more important (Red Dead Redemption 2)
@@PrismaticaDev thanks for the quick reply... so root motion = more animation accurate movement? vs non root motion = means try to align the animation's timing and speed to the character's global movement? (this is what im kind of understanding of the situation so far) 🤔
so i have a pretty simple character like no fingers no toes brought in through mixamo, and i dont think i have a root bone because when i enable any root motion my character is just stuck doing a weird version of the animations lol, can i add a root bone in unreal without messing up all my animations that do work?
Hi, I've been working on setting up vaulting in UE5, and it's the first point in development where I've had to use root motion, but whenever the animation starts, no matter where I am, the character teleports to the world origins. I thought it was something off with my scripting, but having spent the last two hours working out the precise effect of every single node, I'm no longer convinced, and kind of at a loss. Would appreciate any help. Cheers.
Hey Charlie. I'm having an issue with my root motion animation....I've done everything you've done and hooked it up with the #1 key instead....when I press it in game it's actually not playing the anima montage, but instead it's playing my characters walk cycle as if that was the animation in the montage....it is also moving the character forward properly, just not playing the correct animation. (There is only 1 montage in my entire peoject) Could you help me with this please
Make sure there is a Slot (DefaultSlot) in your Animation graph - it sounds like it's "playing" the montage but not animating it because there isn't anywhere in the graph to play it
@@PrismaticaDev Thank yiu very much for your reoly Charlie. Although I'm confused on where this default slot would go inside the anim graph...would it be in the state machine and then adding a new state with the animation plugged inside?
@@PrismaticaDev definitely needed a smaller scope. What started small blew up into a desire to make what was basically a AAA open world rpg by myself with no experience (no wonder I gave up!). If I ever come back to it I will certainly be watching all your video again
@@infinithoughts4002 I wanted to create an rpg game that focused on the players magical abilities which I based off of the primalist in Last Epoch. Earth, lightning, and cold magic. I wanted these effects to "come from" the environment, like having the earth magic effects have similar materials to the terrain around them, and be unusable in areas without earth. Lightning would actually come from the clouds above, and would only be usable in stormy weather (the player could create this weather if they were powerful), cold effects were based on the temperature. I got caught up and burnt out in created fluid character movement, animation, and controls before I even got to developing the magic system.

Appreciate the tutorial! You make it entertaining to watch and I love it. One question. When I check root motion in UE4 for the animation, the animation plays in place ingame... Any idea of what I could be missing?
Hmmmm, are you 100% sure the Root is moving? Maybe double check in the anim preview by selecting the root bone and highlighting it. Does the animation move in world space when it isn’t ticked?
@@PrismaticaDev Yup, root bone moves in the preview when root motion is not checked. Might it be related with the animBP settings when calling play anim montage?
When I add my animation (two steps like the megadab) the character moves forward on the first step but stays in place during the second, do you know why this might be happening? Great tutorial btw!
Hey Charlie I just want to ask you if you took any styalized environment course or something like that because I would like to buy one but there are so many. Thanks!
Hey Stelios! I didn't take any course specifically, I guess my style just comes from setting some limitations and setting myself some rules to create a consistent style. I think knowing a bit about colour theory is a great start especially for stylized scenes, since we're always using solid colours and not very noisy textures. I always see a lot of people saturating their colours waaaay too much haha. So unfortunately I don't have a specific answer for you other than to make sure your art fundamentals are solid :)
@@PrismaticaDev Wow this is incredible that you learned it all by yourself!!! I have no idea how to create normal maps and bake hight maps on them etc. When i finish my current game i will start searching and learning thank you very much!
@@steliosstavropoulos499 you should definitely check out Quixel Mixer if you're using Unreal - I make a tonne of simple textures with it, and it's great because it does the Normals/Heightmap for you!
Sensei, question: can I rotate the root motion, or animate it diagonally? I've tried doing so but the animations don't translate correctly in UE4. If I disable "root motion" in the animation asset in UE4 it plays correctly, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't play fine with the root motion option enabled. I have a lock on to target system, and I thought that was the problem, but if I disable it the animation problem persists. I'm confused. I'm not sure if it's an animation problem or a code problem. Any advice is welcomed :D

I'm going to ask a question, but it may be misconstrued as offensive when that's not my intent. So I'll ask it in reply to this comment so it has to be specifically sought to be seen:
Why did you decide to use mister mannequin? I ask because, when dealing with workflow compatibility problems, finding the path of least resistance often leads to further limitations down the line.

I'm merely seeking other people's perspectives, as animation is one of those workflows I have less experience with, and yet I've always felt confident in my decisions to make my own rigs and design my own processes to suit what needs I expect to have.
