@@3dJC Yeah I was trying to reverse engineer some of the stuff from the UE5 templates but man, I am really struggling to wrap my head around their use of Project to new Parent. I have a general understanding of how it works now but I still don't understand it enough to actually make use of it. I really wish there was a breakdown of that template and why they are doing all that stuff. I don't have the time right now to brute force my way to understanding it.

Great tutorial! I found this very helpful and informative. As an experienced Maya rigger and first-time Unreal rigger, I found this quite easy to follow. Thank you!!

@@3dJC Super useful tutorial and exactly what I needed to pose a model from Daz. But has there been any update on a separate fingers tutorial? Is there a simple way to select a finger and rotate all the joints in that finger at once in order to curl the finger? For example, in Maya, you can select the finger joint closest to the palm, then use the command Select Hierarchy to select all the joints in that finger and then rotate them all at once. Maybe this would be the best way to handle the controls in Unreal with some extra functionality to rotate the thumb (and the fingers a little bit) at their base where they connect to the hand?

Awesome tutorial! Although I already know fairly well this basic setup, I always like to watch these tutorials and learn new tricks, which I always do :) Regarding the bad mirror thing, I have an hypothesis ... I think the problem was that you mirrored controls that had different parents, at the same time. Clav was parented to pelvis, hand to root. I haven't tested but I think that might be the cause of the error. Cheers and congrats on the great tutorial!

This is a very good tutorial for control rig, probably one of the easiest to follow and I would love to see more of this. Things like heel controls, full IK FK switching. One that I would personally like is a way to set up a switch to have both hand IK driven by an object held in both hands. Keep up the great work!!

For anyone who can't use Mirror option as shown on 29:32, what worked for me is before you mirror, you need to change the gizmo's space from local space to world space (in the 3d viewport of this window, look at the top right you see an icon of a cube with three axis coming out of it, when you click it, it will change to globe icon). Then select your left side controls and right click > Mirror. Then in the box, select X and X for both options. This will correctly mirror (My pole vector point direction flipped 180, easy fix but the other controls came in perfect) and will be ready to plug and play as the tutorial shows.

It even beats many scripted tutorials that include commentary to an edited recording. Super easy to follow, and just made my life 10000x better as I'm trying to do manual targeting mocap for UE5 with Leapmotion. (They don't have full support for rigged full body characters in 5.0 yet.) Hopefully you get the fingies out soon, as I wanna catch anything I could have done differently from what I'm about to do. Thank you so so so so so very much. I couldn't find a link to any socials, and I couldn't find any donation(aka TIP) button on the page. Do you have any public facing methods I could by proxy buy you and your kiddo lunch for making this? (Side note: Unreal's blueprint style coding is so much nicer than Unity's UX. Coming from Blender spending literal days amount of time in the material node sheets made adaption to the blueprint/node style so much nicer than trying Unity's through effectively what was sight reading. I still, and it is amusing to any old Blender nerds, find Blender's UI and Shortcut Key style as S tier above others. (Post the 2.8 Revamp that is, hehehhe. 2.79 and below was a bit...

Howdy Natasha! Looks like KZread has finally added the "Super Thanks" feature (tip jar), so if still interested to support the cause (and kid's lunch :) ), give it a spin? Curious to know how it works for viewers too...and what I see on my end... Cheers!

~29:30 ik what the issue is, the wording is ambiguous. "Mirror axis" is the axis along which you are gonna mirror, AKA something you're gonna use as a base line to project alongside of. "Flip Axis" is the axis that you are flipping. Change Mirror Axis to Z, as it's your character's vertical axis, and put Flip Axis to X, which is your forward vector. best way to mentally visualise this is to imagine Mirror Axis as an infinite plane sitting orthogonally on the Flip Axis.

I can honestly say you have been a shining beacon of hope for me. I follow your videos and you teach very well. Clean and well spoken. I now have simple question for you and even if you don't reply, know that you have helped me more than enough for that to be warranted.

I might be wrong, but I think your issue at 29:22 is because it twists the rotation on of the limb upon mirroring and without quarternion interpolation, it goes past 360 degrees and twists the limbs in a weird way.

Thanks again for your tutorial, really appreciate it. Epic should make all of its metahuman Characters control rigged by default. Then it will be easier for non-character animators to use Metahuman for posing or animation... just a suggestion for Epic though....

@nsyed3d

Жыл бұрын

sorry, now I found MH characters have control rig assigned.

Hey, awesome tutorial! I have figured out a workaround to make the mirrored controls work properly. After mirroring with default axis parameters, your controls may "seem" to look correct. But their rotation is still wrong. After mirroring the left hand IK control to right, I rotated the control by putting -360 in X and +180 in Z. And then, right click on the control and "Set offset transform from current". now my control is perfectly mirrored and also doesn't break anything. After rotating I notice the shape is not symmetrical to the left control, so i manually had to adjust shape transform too. But yea, this sucks that it doesn't work out of the box. edit: this value only worked for my hand IK control, it wont be the same for other mirror controls. we also have to check the orientation of axis of the original control, understand it and try to keep the axis flow of our mirror control similar to the original one. It's a tedious thing to manage. In summary, I follow this workflow: Create new controls for your other side of the character (yes, from scratch again) Mirror the controls you want and just copy the offset translation and paste it in your newly created controllers (I do this because I sometimes offset the original controls and I want them to be symmetrical on the other side, for instance - the position of the pole vector). Delete this mirrored controls, we don't need it. the angle of controls should now work fine as you created them from the bone and because of that, we now have correct rotation, so everything should work fine without breaking.

28.54 - the reason the mirror controls don't work, is that the rotation axis of the Clavicle & Hand Controls are also mirrored on your skeleton. Both these Controllers need rotating 180 degrees on 2 axis (it'll be obvious which), then right click and 'Set Offset Transform from Current'. That'll fix it
