Unreal Engine Marketplace Kubold Rifle Animset Pro
Can you clarify the process of converting the Unity animations for Unreal. Unreal characters use the standard MotionBuilder skeleton, or Unity?Sure. First I'll explain what is what: First of all, don't think of it as 'Unreal animations' or 'Unity animations'. UE4 animations will work in Unity and Unity's animations will work in UE4. Both engines can use whatever skeleton you want.
Apr 22, 2018 - Unreal Engine Marketplace – Kubold Animset Pro VaultCache Pack This Pack Includes the following for UE4 version 4.16: Fighting Animset. Klassnij chas zhizn bez konfliktov prezentaciya.
Epic wants everybody to use THEIR skeleton, not because other skeletons will not work, but because it will help all animations in the Marketplace to be cosistant. If everybody use the same skeleton, that means that you can safely buy from different animators, and it will 'just work'. Next thing - Unreal uses their own skeleton, Motionbuilder and Maya use HumanIK skeleton and Unity uses literally everything that resembles a humanoid.
In Unity version of this package I used HumanIK skeleton. In UE4 version of the package I used UE4 skeleton. So, if you already have some animations (let's say, you bought my pack through Unity Store), and those animations don't use UE4 skeleton, you have 3 choices: 1) Open Maya or Motionbuilder and manually retarget those 130 animations to Unreal skeleton 2) Buy the package once again in Unreal Marketplace and think of it, like as if you paid me to retarget it for you (this is exactly what I did) 3) Just skin your character to the skeleton that came with the Unity animation pack and use the animations without any retargeting - and this would be the fastest method.
Also the HIK skeleton I used, is built into every Autodesk software, so you can rig it with 2 clicks, without using Epic's animation tools. Thanks for the detailed response Kubold! This is very good info to know. You mean Maya has a built-in autorigger? Does it really work in 2 clicks, without having to fiddle around with weight painting and correcting finger deformations, etc.Auto RIGGER, not auto skinner.
Skinning is painting the bone weights etc. Rigging is preparing the skeleton to be animated - adding handles, IK, all the 'puppeteering' stuff. So, if you have a character model, skinned to the skeleton with proper bone names, you can rig it in Maya or Motionbuilder with 2 clicks, yes. Hello Kubold, Really great to see these going onto the Marketplace. I've just been looking at the videos and the lists of animations for both sets and have a question for you.
The movement animations in the rifle pack all seem to be in the aiming pose, do you have plans to make movement animations with him carrying the rifle and not looking down the sights? The leaning turns in the movement set look really nice, would be great to get a version of those kinds of moves with him carrying a weapon. It should be quite straightforward to make these myself from your animations but thought I'd ask before working out how long I'd need to do them!

Don't make another 100+ almost identical animations, with slightly lowered rifle. Use IK, or Upper Body Additive or Override on both hands or something. 20 minutes of work, if you know what you're doing.
This is a complete set of over 130 motion capture animations, to build a seamless third person perspective character movement for your game. This set is for a character holding a rifle. This version of Rifle Animset Pro is specifically made for Unreal Engine 4. PDF animation list: You can get this animation set here: Or at Unreal Marketplace, inside UE4 engine. Please, read the FAQ before buying: There is also Unity version, you can get it here: -------------------- Created by Kubold kuboldgames@gmail.com Music courtesy of Kevin MacLeod (www.smartsound.com/royalty-free-music/incompetech).
