Trying to do seamless transitions in #ue5 from game -> cutscene -> game but can't seem to find any answers, there are some unique issues(or i'm just way newb) when doing custom root motions. Tried a swap root bone with actor but is semi-bugged in 5.6. Checked other ue games but it's usually camcuts

Not that great with environments but trying #ue5 #metahuman #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #UnrealEngine #gamedev #vfx

Wanted to stop hopping around to dodge so, made a block

The last manual keyframe animation I'm doing for a while, next time I'm going to use some AI assistance with self acting in my room with phone footage and then into manual keyframing since I have no mocap equipment

I restarted my project from a blank project like new game+ and just applying what I learned making it look/feel ok at the beginning #ue5

You can make small fixes without needing to rerig everything all within UE5 for skeletal meshes.

Simple stuff saturday
path movement and hair interactions + planning for part2
Tried to use play rate curves in 5.5 but it kept crashing the engine so I guess that's unstable or i'm too noob. 😥
