🎬 Blend Space in Unreal Engine 🎮 | 8-Directional Movement with Strafing |

Let's take a look at Blend Space in Unreal Engine! In this comprehensive tutorial, we'll explore how to use Blend Space 2D to seamlessly blend animations based on two-axis inputs. To learn how to use them, we will use the most common example for a 2D Blend Space, strafing character locomotion (8-directional movement).
🚀 What You'll Learn:
✅ Introduction to Blend Space: Understand the concept of Blend Spaces and how Blend Space 2D specifically works to create fluid animation transitions.
✅ Setting Up Blend Space: Learn how to set up and configure Blend Space 2D to accommodate different animations based on two inputs, such as speed, direction, or any other parameter.
✅ Character Locomotion: Dive into the process of character locomotion, including walking, running, and other movements, using Blend Space to achieve realistic animations.
✅ Best Practices and Tips: Get valuable insights into best practices and tips for optimizing Blend Space setups and improving the overall animation quality.
