Animation in Unreal Engine: Adding Life to Your Story | Webinar 

Thanks Doc. :)

You're welcome

finally a normal comment after 10 years

@@jacobinfier9407rtthttt0 John yyy

absolutely agree, I'm a single dev atm working on quite a large project that I wouldn't even dream to touch without all the freaky, often free or cheap tools released since one or two years... There's just tools for everything in good quality it's amazing :)

ns right that why i dont watch most of them these guys come in with millions of code already in place and like we go here here and here and now you have full MMORPG like WHAT THE F&*K DID YOU DO? Lol

Those "educational series" gets on my nerves. They literally do exactly what you say. Besides, they show little, and half of what they show doesn't work or it's broken anyway. And the host of that series is a narcissist and it shows - which also doesn't help, we're only human after all.

@@claudiuschwartz605 like introduction of 5 mins w/ them bubbling in front of camera

Lol) I was searching for this but had overlooked your comment)) Well, now we have two warnings :)

Ok, I didn't understand a thing you just said but ok???

HI Ahsan. This was technically not meant to be a step by step tutorial; however, you are correct that the tires do not spin when playing the cinematic in editor. They only spin when you play in editor or "simulate" as they are driven by blueprints. There is nothing going on in the cinematic other than setting the rail to go from the beginning to the end. Everything is controlled by the blueprint. The tires should properly spin in PIE. Let me know if you have any trouble.

@@MatthewDoyleArtist Actually, It did work exactly the way you explained after I run the sequencer from level blueprint, perfect. However, I got stuck into another issue. In your tutorial you made relative rotation for 2 tires but the other two were not done, I think. Anyhow, the other two tires if I plug them into same node of relative rotation with tire 1 and 2, the tire 3 and 4 are rotated on y axis and shows tires inside out. What would be right way to make them not flip on the axis?

@@AICineVerseStudios You are correct. They will be rotated 180 degrees. So, create another Relative Rotation node that is connected to tires 3 & 4, and leave the Y rotation at 0. Connect the first RelativeRotation to the second one (execution flow), and wire the -1 multiplier to the Z rotation too. That will do it. Like this: ibb.co/0ZKjfb6

@@MatthewDoyleArtist it did the trick!! many thanks. I was so much searching for how to rotate wheel in cinematics and now I can do some cool stuff with this. Thanks a million man!

I believe in you bro

@@dandee1197 thx bro i will remember this comment and bring you in my company :D

@@ue4587 I will gladly join, I'm also trying to make it and the game dev industry. Just don't have the right tools I need(for now).

@@dandee1197 what's your Telegram or discord?

@@ue4587 @kamii_desu

You need to experiment with the nodes and numbers. That’s at least how you will learn for yourself.

good luck, brother

@@abultimatetanksimulator6605 thank you :)

Hi Adam, I have the same problem. Did you figure out a solution on this?

@@videohelper2299 hi, we need to add a sequence for the camera rig rail to make it work

Thanks for your reply. I'll try it. Thanks again.

Hi, I have the same question, actually I add a click to the rial but hit play there's nothing happen... How to connect "play" with the click...

Hello, you are alright event tick will always fire execution every frame and the function will not work properly, I can say it doesn't even work . but for who doesn't know "event tick may harm the CPU, imagine you have a 70 truck running on your game, this is a story game based so the best way is to save CPU and GPU for the player events and behaviours"

Hi. This does work. However, you are correct that Event Tick is probably not the best event to use to be honest. I probably should instead have created a new custom Event. My mistake, but the principals are still sound and the code does work. Also, FYI, this webinar was for Arch Vis Enterprise not games.

@@MatthewDoyleArtist Problem is, it's simply wrong explained in the video when you build the Timer. I also stuck at this and thought the timer has a new feature executing the part on the right side each timer time. I would recommend doing a subtitle to the video on this part. It will be very confusing for people. For me it was :-)

The Flow the logic will work but only because tick is updating the logic chain regardless of the timer calling the function. You could simply set the variables on begin play and link up the tick logic without the timer and get the same result.

Common guys! The tuts was very helpful and Mr Matthew does a great job, he teached us and we really appreciate and enjoy his touch. "A mistake comes when founding no result after following the steps". So in general he did good professional work.

The car just sits there when I Begin Play

... you ask on a video made for UE4 users

Tick is ok, just shouldn't be used in too many things. What makes ticks bad is when there is a lot of hard calculations involved with them. If you think about it like that, it makes ticks make a lot more sense. Ticks functions aren't always bad, but the amount of work per tick is what has the possibility to make them bad. In this case though, yeah. I'd argue not the best use of ticks, however his intention isn't to use this for a game, more for a nice example of bringing life to a scene. It won't be bogging the project down in the short term, and gives a good quick end result to his goal of animating the tires. But don't be afraid to use them in certain instances! They have potential to be extremely useful, and in most modern games there are going to be a few running at almost all times. What's the saying... Quality! Not quantity. Sorry for the rant, just my two cents!

;) I'm not an employee actually, but I agree it would be nice to have that feature.

@@MatthewDoyleArtist I believe the actor movement tools need an overhaul in general, the snapping is a nightmare to work with for example

I thought he spoke extremely well! Just put your subtitles/closed captions on. I'm always impressed by those that speak so well, when English is probably not their native language.

Sure you could do that. But this way makes sure the tires are rotating at the correct speed based upon the distance traveled. What happens if you speed the vehicle up or slow it down? The tires (if set to a single speed) will not look correct. They will rotate too slow or too fast. This was done on a "hero" car which you can clearly see the tires rotating in the shot.

Depends which category you pick. UE is damn powerful
