@rosuckmedia ,  very cool !! , nice Character ,  Dein neuer PC macht sich gut ;-) Very good quality , amazing.

@nealtucker : sure it's possible , shown here :



You will find the recorded animations in the "Animation Folder".

Thanks  Bassline, I never realized the animation was captured, I thought it was just the video recording, this looks like a great way of working in Unreal for animation..who needs Live link? we just need smooth High-quality animations with good transitions from say, walking to running or smooth walking to idle, also just a thought, if you record a long walk animation, can you add say, a jump command or run command in the sequencer track afterward of must it be all recorded live with key commands? thanks very much for your help as I/we  work out what is and what is not possible at this time,
N.

@nealtucker
Thank you, I did it exactly the same as in this tutorial, just a different scene (set)
Kind regards rosuckmedia:)

@Bassline303,
Thank you, How can the running animation change to a Walk animation. Game mode.?
It is very difficult to align the additional cameras:D

Kind regards rosuckmedia

You can change your animations in the State Machine (very easy).
You need looped animations ,  you can create them in IClone or use Epic Store , there are a lot of loop animations , but you have to retarget.
You can use as many as you want and  give any animation its own key , for example D for ducking.

Watch at 2min.



One thing to mention , when you want to use your recorded animations in a new Sequencer  Project , you have to untick " Force Root Lock " , seen here (2.45min)



@nealtucker 
yes you can insert other animations in the sequencer , from run to idle or walk to jump... you only have to use fades , "transitions".

you can also "box" trigger animations to occur when in proximity to a NPC or prop
this would require a very basic blueprint (users should learn basics of blueprinting and materiels)
this is a very handy way to get some complex scenes filmed

you can also add more cameras to 3rd person blueprint which is a easy way to film


I'll edit this later with a tut or you can easily find one on YT in the meantime

Thanks Guys, great info, the potential for IC and CC working together with UR is great,
One thing I have not found and answer to....and I've looked really hard for the answer this week is..last months abandoned factory the particle smoke and cable swinging is turned on and off with CTL + R in the normal viewport but a model I purchased recently (Victorian Street) the smoke and Flag physics only work when in game mode? can or how can this be changed to work like the factory setup.

Thanks so much for this thread guys :)

Could someone please tell me how to later add animations to an imported character?
I know i saw that once at some tutorial, but couldn't find it anymore.

@3Dtester 



When you import the animation to the same folder where your Character stays in you only have to untick mesh.
UE4 automatically selects the right skeleton.  If not , watch the Video.

oops

I guess it's  Auto Activate ...
