Got the materials and rig set up in Unreal. It's a whole different way of thinking of things, and it doesn't help that the documentation for Unreal's control rig is esoteric at best, but it is satisfying to see it all coming together.

Gaits for Dinobird: Walking, Running, and Sprinting. This was refreshingly straight forward compared to RootYaw and Jumping, and it works pretty well with the other systems with no nasty surprises. A good week!

Started implementing Jump Wed last week, figuring it was gonna be relatively easy and fast. I was wrong, so so wrong. But after three days of banging my head against the wall, the wall fell.
Now Murder bird can jump, jump, jump

Break through. Spent large part of the week not having success getting Root Yaw Offset applied to the actual character without horrible contortions, but then it clicked yesterday. Quite a big difference with than without it!

This does literally have me sighing and gradually backing out of using Unreal as my animation tool / bidding goodbye to ControlRig, and simply learning Blender instead, as a prelude to the seemingly inevitable hop to Godot if/when the bullshit truly starts
Cus wow, that's a hell of a thing to state

Still have some edge cases to figure out. I am using the Sphere Trace on his Pelvis and a second Sphere trace for his lower tail since it's so far back with a mock extra bone. I need to adjust it for wall hits and maybe the animation on moving.

We found a place. So we are packing now...SO MANY BOXES.
BUT we are taking a break today, and I can do some after-work art. Was able to get Billy's tail working better. Not that I have been thinking about it, every second, just every other second #GameDev #ControlRig #Rigging #Ue5 #Oc #DnD

The only one I'd point out is that ControlRig is still improving
For me I'm using StateTree and same there, but I think you're using SUSS instead for that so it's irrelevant
Btw you looked into the mobile renderer at all? Seems like that would suit you better?

Hey it's #PortfolioDay again! My name is Louis Whitworth, I am a Technical Animator! I specialize in rigging, scripting, animation systems, and procedural animations, like this dune hopping monobike that is 100% procedurally animated with #ControlRig in @unrealengine.bsky.social

Yep! I built the rig in ControlRig.
Though if your skelly matches the unreal Manny you can use the anim rig they already built just ready to go for humanoid anim

I built myself an animation rig in Unreal / ControlRig. I do all my animation in-engine now. You can link an animation timeline to a specific animation sequence asset, after which any changes you make in the timeline auto-export into the animation. Great for iterative approaches to animation.

I can’t seem to find any answers on this even on the discord.
Does anyone familiar with control rig know if it’s possible to attach a single control (not the whole rig and not setting a location) to another actor (during gameplay)?

Random thing, if you haven't experimented with using ControlRig to animate in-engine yet, highly recommended. That completely upended how I approach game animation uh, like forever? Absolutely incredible set of tools.

Anyways, next two posts will be how to use fake/heavy gravity to make games feel "heavier" and a UE5 ControlRig deep dive

The tail sphere trace was adjusted but need to find a way to get the logic to work on going down stairs with the tail. I hit some walls and it pops up too high. #GameDev #ControlRig

I am back to work so I do not have as much time to do this as I did over the break.

Character modelling and skinning in Blender. Rigging and animation done in Unreal, with ControlRig as the tool I used to build the rig.
