Quick & Easy Guide to Motion Matching (Stances) in UE5

Welcome to Unreal Made Easy! I'm excited to show you the brand-new Motion Matching feature in Unreal Engine 5, and together we'll learn how to effortlessly integrate it into your projects. We'll start by importing animations from the Lyra project, including pistol, rifle, unarmed, crouch, and jump stances.
You'll discover how to use hotkeys to switch between these stances seamlessly using motion matching, a technique designed to replace blend spaces. This method makes animation transitions smoother and easier to manage by using databases to dynamically output the necessary poses.
Join me as I guide you step-by-step through setting up these animations and implementing motion matching to enhance your game development process. Whether you're a beginner or looking to upgrade your skills, this video will make mastering motion matching in UE5 simple and efficient.

    Nothings complex if you break it into smaller parts. Thanks for watching this video.

    You kept things very simple and easy to follow along. I need to rewatch to understand the why some things got deleted. I thought crouch stuff had been fully deleted early on? So when I seen you dragging crouch animations into the motion match databases it somewhat confused me. I think it will make sense if I go through it a second time.

    Around time stamp 5:15 I deleted the Pistol/Rifle jump and crouch animations. I did this reduce the time of the video. I only used the unarmed animations. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching the video.

    Hey, I really enjoyed the video and I learned a lot from it. I also have a question. Do you think this could be useful to make the character turn towards the input direction with a bit of "lag" (like a smooth transition instead of instantly facing the input direction) AND drive all the motion with root motion instead of in-place locomotion? An example would be something like the following: -> Character facing away from camera -> Player inputs the "down" direction, instructing the character to come towards the camera -> The character begins to step backwards (moving towards the camera while still facing the other direction) using root motion, then gradually turns their body to one side, shifting into side-stepping (still with root motion), until finally transitioning to a forward walk towards the player's camera. Hopefully that makes sense. This style of movement would be very fitting for a solo project I'm working on, and I've been exploring options with custom-made math and components but I haven't had any luck coming up with a solid solution so far. I'm still in the animation stages, making all of my own custom root motion animations, so I haven't had a chance to test much. I'm just in the planning stages currently while I work on the animations and I noticed that this video seemed potentially relevant to it.

    From what I understand Motion Matching works with root motion. So as far as moving a character with a little bit of lag in comparison to camera and movement you may need to look into adjusting lag from the spring arm, camera or movement component. This video is merely designed to help understanding motion matching and changing states without worrying about Chooser/ selector plug in. (but his plug in may help you with what your asking.) I hop this helps. Thanks for watching the video.

    Thanks so much for this tutorial! If I wanted to use all the pistol/rifle crouch and jump animations, would I just need to set up PSDs for each of those states?

    Yes that is the way I would do it. I just posted another motion match video. I hope this helps. thanks for watching the video.

    @@UnrealMadeEasy Thanks again for your help. Your videos made it easy to follow along and I managed to get all the states added with the rifle/pistol crouching and jumping. I am running into a few small issues I was wondering if you encountered. The main one is that when standing still and doing a rifle jump, my character disappears for a split second when he lands. I only have two animations in the PSD (the looping rifle jump start/fall). The other issue is that the idle animations appear to play really fast, so the character isn't actually doing the 'scanning' motion. Any ideas? Thanks again!!!!
