An introductory workshop for people who wish to learn the basics of character animation in Unreal Engine.
DATE: Thursday, October 6th, 3:00-6:00 PM
LOCATION: Milieux Resource Centre (EV11.705)
Join TAG for an introductory workshop on character animation in Unreal Engine. A basic understanding of what rigging & skinning is is assumed but not required. Beginner-level experience with Unreal Engine is highly recommended.
In this workshop, we we will cover importing a provided skinned character into Unreal, some of the basics of Unreal’s control rig, how to add the character to a level sequencer and play animation on it. We will take the Unreal default third person project and replace the mannequin within it with our new character. We will briefly explain what animation state-flow and runtime animation systems are on a theoretical level. The exercise should serve as a good primer for beginners to research animation topics more in depth on their own.
To register or ask any question, please reach out to the workshop organizer Leo Morales (kishongus@gmail.com) or TAG coordinator Kalervo Sinervo (tag.coordinator@concordia.ca).
