How to Create And Animate Your Own Character for Unreal Engine 5: Beginner's Guide 

You're a legend thank you I've used this a few times now with complete success each time

I love the tutorial, this has definitely helped me with my project and will certainly help with my other ones! You are the best! 😁👍👍

Thanks for doing this! Great tutorial despite the fast pace! I’m new and giving this all a go when I get home today!

I've liked videos before. Why I've even liked and subscribed when impressed enough. But by golly, this is the first time I've ever liked, subscribed, and bookmarked a video in my browser. So until RU-vid gets with the times and adds the ability to comment on high caliber tutorials like this with a gifs or memes instead of mere mortal words, you will just have to imagine a looping one-second video of Leonardo DiCaprio holding up a champagne glass in your direction with the words "Congrats" overtop of the visual you so deserve sir. Good job keep up the good work.

Thank you so much. Best tutorial ever.

Thank you for your effort, this is one of the most inspiring videos for beginners out there. I'm saying this because you can get impressive results faster and easier than any other method out there (to my knowledge). I understand why some people would want you to go more in depth and explain the logic behind every move, but I realize that you consciously decided to speed through it and just present this workflow to us bullet-style. Personally, I got results that would take me hours to achieve otherwise, and I really appreciate you for it. There is a small issue, my character slows down for a second when I turn left or right, especially when I turn sharply/abruptly. I wonder if it's the issue you're mentioning at the end of your video or something else. Whether you reply or not, please know that teaching this workflow to us for free is greatly appreciated! I guess some people didn't live through the dark ages when we had to pay an obscene amount of money and actually physically attend classes for any scrap of knowledge out there. And that made them a bit unappreciative. EDIT: I fixed it, but through trial and error, meaning I was just messing around with various settings and this one just happened to work. The trick was to go into the Blend Space and move the dot for Running (IDK what it's called) to the right (I had it down the center before, like in your video). Again, I don't know why this would fix this issue, but I'm happy that it did :)

thanks helped a lot would love to see a more in-depth movement tutorial like adding walking backwards and crouching and if possible even prone Great vid look forward to seeing more vids

Finally a straight forward tutorial

Great knowledge, thank you Sir!

Thanks a lot, have been looking for a tutorial like this 😊

This really helped me out a lot! Thank you!!

Thankss soo much it helped me a lot

Thank you sooooooo much for this tutorial!!! :)

This is brilliant! Do you know how we cab edit the animation of our character once we've made it though?

thank you for this tutorial, you sir are a legend

Great Tutorial, thanks!

I'm getting an error "Mesh contains a bone as root but animation doesn't contain the root track" did I mess up somewhere?

For those having a Compile error on "Cast To BP_MetalMan" Try changing Object input from: "Try Get Pawn Owner" -> to "Get Owning Actor" Thanks a bunch to OP its a nice clear tutorial

I respect you for not longing this out and complicating it like everyyy other channel hahaha ❤

Deserves a million views

This is the best tutorial on Blender Character to Unreal on RU-vid. This should blow up.

Thank you so much you're a legend

Great video it was very helpful, but I'm currently stuck on a issue where the character moves faster then the camera and teleports back and same with jumping making the interaction feel laggy???

Yay, go South Africa!! Represent, thanks for the tutorial!

How do you control animations / characters for cinematic scenes?

Thank you so much .. much much !!🤩

Is possible to migrate the character without losing texture?

Thank you bro

when i try and walk its glitchy and doesn't work, great tutorial but maybe some help on this? plz

I for some reason cant seem to find the "Viewport" thing, any idea why?

that's dense but yeah definitly usefull !

what about the root motion problem. I am having a huge issue when I try to impliment a lean while running. I make the right and left lean runnings. I set them to additive animation. Then i set it to scaled and pick the normal running as the reference. and then when I make the blendspace it all messes up. My character goes from idel to floating with a huge wedgey. I think there is an issue with the root bone. Mixamo seems to make the root bone the hips? but it breaks root motion. any help would be greatly appriciated.

Dankie , het baie gehelp

Nice tjom!!!

How would I add crouching as well

How do you get velocity actor? Anyone know?

how do you add additional animations that are not standard such as waving or or kicking. how do you then add triggers with a keyboard or xbox controller?

how can i reduce the walking speed cuz my character looks like its sliding

If I wanted to create my own Animations what would you recomend? Just trying to stick with "Done myself"

Got a problem, i followed all the steps, and the idle animation works but doesn't switch when i start moving

how do you deal with root bone missing?

Does mixamo do more than humanoid animations, like 4 legged animals or flying animals?

My character is stuck in a t pose XD uh...how can I fix that?

Can u do a video on making music videos

TOTY - (tutorial of the year) Outstanding :)

I'm having a hard time figuring out why my walking animation is choppy. It's like the loop isn't synced up. Also the steps are way too slow, like he's ice-skating lol. It doesn't look like natural walking at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can we creare our own animations?

This tutorial was great, im trying to paint my character so hes not chrome though and im having trouble

when i jump it deletes all animations and just i see the idle

THis is the best tutorial by other its 2h long

I'd Recommend a title change for this. I kept searching Blender character to unreal engine 5 if that helps

we’re did he get BP i don’t have that

Hello i have a problem, i did everything like your video except i used a Mixamo model, but the animation is all laggy, the camera teleport itself and it fell like the animation stop and restart every 3 seconds, can you help me please?

While yes I'm excited to see this my questions now are 1 what if your character has a tail or cape? (or something not on a base human model) would it still work the same way or are there special steps. 2. what if I want to import facial animations? Simply how to you deal with secondary stuff on a rig? Context I have some furry characters I'd like to import however they have a tail, big ears, and facial controls. I would like to know if this method will work for that or if there's a special way to go about this.

Awesome but when I go to import in UE it asks for a skeleton, 'import all' is greyed out :/

noob question here: wouldn't it be better to create a child blueprint of the third person rather than just duplicating it? great tutorial though! really good flow to follow :)

Mans did more in 15 min than ive done in 15 hours 😅

Hi man i did all the things but my character has a delay when running(it runs but when i stop it comes a few steps back )

It keeps saying no debug data

This is a great tutorial, but I feel like it doesn't teach how to animate, just throw it into Adobe Mixamo and let them do everything for you :(

Says mesh contains root but animation doesn't contain root track

This feels like coding 😁 sweet!

but man,you are using alot of shortcut keys in blender and i got no idea what u doing :D

this look very different

10:15

What about fingers? I see a lot of arm to leg here but not fingers

make a help vid you didnt say anything could go wrong it sure did my character would not go into mixamo

Hi there. I sent you an email from my Brandy Bear Studio account. Would be nice if you are able to read that and get back to me.

ITS NOT FCKING WORKING. First the problem was when I imported that there wasnt a skeleton with it. I managed to fix that but now when I try to import the animation (6:20) it says the character doesnt have "root tracks" Unreal engine is bullsht.

It didn't work he's still not walking

u lost me at "so starting off..." xD

wow... spent an hour on it> animation doesnt work properly> cant fix it> gives up> realizes 3 hours later that i didnt tick "In Place" on mixamo. I AM STUPID Anyway thanks for the tutorial!

oh my god dude youre STRESSING ME OUT WITH HOW FAST YOURE GOING! you literally CANNOT NOT be TRYING to speed run this.... FUCK

oh boy! i cant even reuse the ideas you (didnt fucking teach me) taught me to create a dodge roll feature! incredible! thanks a lot man! 👍👍

too fast

man youre not explaining anything and youre literally doing youre very best to go as fast as possible for SOME reason. please understand that we are not as fast as you bro. im getting so worked up bc i have to go step by step and pause you after EVERYTHING bc you make it your MISSION to click to the next thing AS FAST AS YOU CAN.... All i see this as is you wanting people to watch you code. like a kid wanting someone to watch them play dark souls... thanks for the copy and pasted functions tho...
