All language subtitles for 77 - Character Creation Animation Blueprints Pt 1

So now that we have some XC90 animation added into our project before our character

You need to look at how to go about getting this character for

Play ABBA

Now I have done is I have dragged out these animation assets themselves

Directly into the level and I've hit a simulate play here

Which just allows me to preview animation but as of yet

We do not have these in our level if I were to play or you can see that weird

Using the default character

So

How do we go about changing

The most

Appearance

Step to take is that we need to open our third person character

And where we have this

Prototype gnash we need to change it to our custom character however there is a problem with this

Would you may be able to see already

Is that

This character is an animator

Using animation also if we were to hit play right now

But we do have a character and we can

Jump and control but obviously

The animations are not working on it and it is just bounded to the T pose

So

Let's look at how to fix this SEO I'm just going to delete those animation ass

I seen I noticed that my character that is so little large so I'm gonna go ahead and grab the

Nash component just scale it down so it's within the bounds of

Capsule component here this colour

System

So I am to do this we need to create what is called an animation blueprint if I switch back to the unit

You can see it here in the little

Drop down above we're resetting Nash there some settings for animation here

Cell by default this character uses an animation blueprint

This is the animation blueprint it is using

Set up to automatically know when we are walking and when we are running in jumping and it will

B&Q

Cell level look at how to set this

For our custom character

So to create an animation blueprint in the first thing

Actually is not a good thing itself it was called in animation blendspace

Now the blendspace is a special type of animation asset

That will allow the character to smoothly blend between

Animation the walking animation in the Running animation

Can a certain speed set to create a new blank space for this character

I'm just going to come into the animations folder here that I have for it because this is an acid that is

Animation

And I am going to right click

Any content browser window

Animation

Blendspace 1D

There is a 2D here but we only need the one dimension because you're only going to have one variable and that is Force

BS4 Wednesday's underscore

Idle

And you'll see that shows are character skeleton that is what we seen a few here is all about

Character to rtp

So when you double click to open up your information going on here

Don't be too intimidating we're not going to be using most of it just yet

The things we do want to set here is

This graph right here

Vertical access here

Back to the horizontal is the only one that really matters for the

One day in the only one that we can really change so

This graph right here is going to represent our speed

So we have to 100 to start with but we can change these that I use as needed

So to do that we have to come

Are we have to do is come up and details and come to the access settings

The horizontal axis drop down and little girls always information we see output right here

In the in the grass

Forename is currently in 20-minutes Speed because that is what does variable represents

The minimum axis value of keep it at 0 because if you're not moving our speed should be zero

I'm just testing some values in a

Find a d max

Value that looks the best

4

New characters is 375 head and change that and maximum value to 375

Update here any graph as well

So basically this is going to do is working tell this at what values we want to change to these

Animations

Set a speed value of 0 we want to be idling not in this t pose

If we go down here at the browser

We can see all the animations that we brought in for this character

So happy I'm alright here so I can

Bread without to a value of 0 on my graph

Character is playing the idle animation

So we want to them if we

Little bit for forward slightly if we were using a gamepad or something like that

To walk

The next dragon is The Walking animation I'm going to put it at a value of about a hundred

So I drag it into approximately that value but if I click on the point on the graph here we can

Right here and we can change it to be exactly 100 if we need to

So I'm coughing now is that if you read it here it says hold control the size of the preview basically

Control and slide the sex around

On the line here

We can see a preview of how it's going to brand when they speed

Reaches the values

So we do have one more to put in hair so

Put in our running animation and let's start it over to 375

Control we can see that it is smoothly interpolating between the

The idle stance the wax tense and then eventually be ran

We have all of those smoothly blended together

That is all we need to do to create our 1D blendspace to go ahead and hit save and close that app

What is a question of what to do with this asset will this asset needs to go and what is called an

Animation Blue

Cell in the same folder when I'm going to do is right click

Go to animation

Create a new animation blueprint

Going to ask you at skeleton you want to use of course we are custom characters skeletons so weird

Create

Animation blueprint

Whatever your character's name in this I forget what his name is

This is our animation blueprint

Someone somewhere to other blueprint graph editors but

We have a different system here in the middle

So this outfit girls will be the result of every flag into the snow

In order to get this character in my TV

We need to add a new Estate machinery here and a state machine is just a know that we can

Into an

That will handle

How is

Transitioning between States and what state the characters in with regards to this animation

State machine

Can you get this result here that says add new state machine so bad

Default locomotion wherever you like

What's in I'm going to apply the output pose into the input for the

If you were to compare now

Nothing would happen because this machine is currently empty

Turn off double click to open it

You can see here this is our entry no here so we need to build basically

This in order to drive the animation here

So the first thing I want to do is get this blendspace I just made

Into my state machine

So what I'm going to do it I'm going to drop it off this 10 I'm going to add a new Estate

Micawber Street

And this is going to handle the entirety of this Wednesday

To get this working

We need to just have a quick to get into the adult walk around and stay

In here we have an output animation pose as well

So are we need to do is drag in this blendspace

So now we have our twenties connected but currently as people always be zero because that

Right here in the snow

So we need to

To control this speed variable and the way we're going to do that is by adding a speed variable

Animation

So I'm gonna come down here on to the Maya blueprint

Window here and add a new float variable

I'm just going to this feed into this

This is not doing anything but we are going up in just a minute

Currently this is 0 because it's not a reading

Any value from this very boring to change that as soon as we have over to the actual in graph

Now and this is the true event for our animation blueprint hair and this is where we're going to do

Any of these variables

That We Created on here to control our animation

We are

Start with these two greyed out default

No is here and we are actually going to use both of them so this is our sort of beginning play

So the speak basically when if we have a animation blueprint a sign of this character

When we set up the game it's just going to update start updating the animation for anything we dragged off of the snow at work

Happen on attic room

The first thing I'm gonna do is out of this try get pawn owner

I just want to make sure that it's before I try to update the animations and all because if

Play We Are

And we destroyed the actor from scene or something like that

This will no longer be valid anymore and there will be no animation to update so

I just want to make sure about the the character is valid in the scene before we do anything with

Ok so we need to set this speed very but here so I'm just going to dry out a set speed now here

Dried out from the invalid to set the speed

What do we need to set it to well lovely unreal has made this very easy for us all we need

Who is dragging off of this get panettone

Get

We have that

We will return as a vector value

So the speed information contains both the force and the direction

So we just want to force really dear which would be the speed so I want you to do is get off the Spectre now

Because we don't care about the direction

Connect float to that

Internet speed

Settlers test

I just think we are here

Of course

Hug at the animation

To our third person character blue

The third person character where we have switched at the Nash

We all need to specify that we want to use our new animation blueprint

As soon as we do that you will see it update in the viewport window here

The comparisons that and now it's test

Character he is idling

When we press forward and WR keyboard

This is pretty cool in our already we're almost there however

Well we're moving forward and we haven't added any more Jack

Animation blueprint for jumping

So let's look at how to do that

So I'm going to return my state machine by clicking on this time over here

Don't know I'm all the way in me I will walk around stay but I really want to be in my default state machine here so I'm just going to

To go one back

So I'm going to

Port v jumping logic off of this I don't run

So do you do that I have to do is

Click and drag on the outside of that include in an estate

I have three new States here one is going to be

When is going to be

When is going to be

If you remember something this way because we need to account for jumping off of ledges

Where are we don't know how long I'm going to be falling for essentially

And we can connect us to Bath to I'll walk around because once we finish

How to return to plane with animation

Animations within these States

Start over

And answered this we don't have to create any sort of Wednesday Sur additional acid to do is

When did John start

Connect the dots

Go back one

Do the same thing for example

Connect

Do the same

Go into the jump and

Connect

So if you were to compile and Tesco's now this still not work because we need to

Set transition rules so basically

What needs to have them to the character in the game in order for

This transition to happen in order to move away from the animal crying and into dumpster

For this gonna need another variable

And that variable is going to be down here and it's going to be a bullying

Am I going to call it

Is

Change the volume

So

We want to start

Jumping when the character is in the air and we want to stop jumping when you're not

Selfie centre from ground to jump start

Army transition itself

Instead dragonar is in air

Connect to news

So currently we can enter this but we can't do anything with it

To move from Dunster to junk food

Well basically jump-start animation is almost

Stop playing the jumper Luke animation

Double click to enter this translation

And I'm keeping my man in the Jar

And then jump start to jump

So I basically one in Milden

Animation almost done playing when it is

Enter this transition

And there is a note for that so we can directly and I'm just going to start typing in jam

Which former animation

And

You get all these thoughts

Function Drake here

And I'm going to use is

Basically it's going to

How much time is left in this animation

And if that value is less than

Something we sad

Say .5

We can then enter the train station

To go from a jumper loop to jumper and that's an easy one are we going to do with are we in Ayr

If the answer is no or if we are not

Any air we can enter the translation

And finally once we've finished play me jump end in

Jump end animation

We want to transition back to the Isle of Wight

Going to do the same thing

Get timer meaning

If it's the last man

Anthem u25 work to the best

You may be wondering why we're checking if a ternary is less than .5 because of Central what we're doing

Cutting off the animation

Play the next one before the last one is first and this has to do with

Motorbike animation Hitchin

If you don't believe me you can go and send it to

20 work 10 something very low

And I'm you'll see that there's a little more jittering in the animation

Does value of a little bit like 25 days a little bit last year

Ok so this is our entire jump logical however we are not

Setting this variable anywhere yet so it's still not working

Because they never selling it is an air 2 true

So we need to do that just as we did here for the speech

Sell this one is also very straightforward

To do is dragging off of this try get paint over here

And we're going to get the movement component of the character cos it's return value

Here

So what we have and get movement component

Very nicely packaged in a function that can evaluate

Is falling through the air

And that is just is falling

How to return

Boolean value

So we can use this value to set

Just connected up here

I want

You're still running and walking for a brilliant transitioning back to the Idol

Now

Well we have some issues with the animation itself but the logic is our working your heating off 3 of hours

Formation

When to do a little bit of cleaning work on his animations in the neck
