Description
Unreal Engine: Control Rig For Cinematics and Game Animation

Is a course targeting small creators and teams by showcasing a solo friendly way of Creating animations and cinematics using the Unreal Engine.

In this course, we will be making a Control rig for the included Character “Asuki”

We’ll be taking our fully rigged character and practice some animation basics such as Keyframing before we dive into creating game animations.

Then we’ll retarget some animations that we then will use in a Cinematic and to end it all off, we’ll be diving into creating a custom Animation and Character Blueprint from scratch using Unreal Engine’s built in Scripting Language.

This course teaches multiple skills that can be combined into one single pipeline making it ideal for Indie Developers and small teams wanting to create content completely solo or anyone really who wants experience using Unreal Engine 5 as a creation tool.

All Games needs some sort of trailer and 3D games generally need a whole lot of animation and thankfully Control rig makes that a breeze especially when you nail down the basics off it as it allows for a Drag/Drop/Animate/Render Approach.

What we will learn
1.Creating Forwards and Backwards solved ControlRigs
2.Sequencer Navigation, Anim Layers and Anim Baking
3. Creating basic Cinematics using sequencer
4. AnimationSequence Blending
5. IK Retargeting from Character to Character
6. Creating Character and Animation Blueprints and make a controllable and animated character
7. Rendering out Sequences and stich them together using Davinci Resolve”Free”

If you want to Create your own, very uniquely styled animations as a solo creator or small team, this course is for you!
