Unreal Engine 5.4 Motion Matching in 13 Minutes | 2024

Motion matching is a powerful tool that eliminates the need for handcrafted state machines. Instead, it dynamically selects the most fitting animation frame from a database, closely matching the character’s current pose, past movements, and future trajectory. This comprehensive tutorial dives into three key features: Motion Matching for seamless animation blending, One-click Retargeting to effortlessly import Mixamo animations, and Animation Blueprints for creating dynamic character control. = Timestamps = 00:00 - Intro 00:27 - Making a project 00:40 - Enabling Motion Trajectory Plugin 00:50 - Enabling Pose Search 00:55 - Mixamo 01:28 - Mixamo Converter 01:45 - Importing Animations 02:32 - Enabling Root Motion and Force Root Lock 02:54 - Character Blueprints 03:57 - Getting Character Blueprints to respond to Player Input 04:49 - Setting up Motion Matching 07:31 - Animation Blueprint 10:06 - Using Lyra 11:09 - One-Click Retargeting 11:52 - Adding Lyra Animation 12:34 - Disabling Orient Rotation to Movement 13:25 - Outro Support us: 📌 Buy Me a Coffee: 📌 Patreon: === Follow Us ✌️=== 🌐 Website / Blog: 📸 Instagram: 📹 Facebook: 🐥 X / Twitter: 📱 TikTok: @ 🧵 Threads: @realityforgeasia 🎨 ArtStation: 💻 LinkedIn: 🎥 YouTube: 💬 Discord: --- WHO ARE WE?
