Lattice Deformers are a common animation trick for quickly modifying a mesh with needing to fully rig an object or character. UE 5.5 has released these new tools (3 lattices, and also a sculpt deformer - though that's not covered in this video), and this tutorial shows you the basics for using a 2x2x2 lattice to animate a simple "static mesh" in a level sequence.

Learn how to copy animation sequences from one character to another character by making a simple IK Rig asset for a pre-animated mixamo character, then you'll use the IK Retargeter to transfer the animation to a mannequin and also a metahuman. #unrealengine #animation If you are brand new to Unreal Engine, I recommend you watch this video first to get the basics figured out: https://youtu.be/eTWnzHQJvBE

This tutorial uses a "random speed falling LED array of lights" example to teach the use of generating a band, adding a glass effect to the cylinder, animating the LED band, and randomizing the speed for each LED tube. These concepts can be used to make a wide variety of useful materials to meet your aesthetic needs. Enjoy!

Foliage Mode allows you to quickly paint, plant, and place whatever geometry you want into your landscape - be it cacti, trees, bushes - or even donuts and statues. Unleash your creativity!!#unrealengine #ue5

This tutorial actually covers a lot of material for what would normal seem like a simple topic. We'll cover:- Fixing the default imported materials from Mixamo's Sporty Granny- Adding offset controls in the material to change the face textures- Animating the materials to give Granny different expressions in SequencerHopefully you'll get some new tips out of following along - which I highly recommend - just follow the same steps and you'll learn so much more than just watching! It's free!#unrealengine #animation

Yes, it's true - you will fully understand how UVs work after completing this tutorial!Here's the link to the simple "old man" asset used for the tutorial:https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/free-obj-model-cartoon-character-old-man/590884 #maya #unrealengine

This follow-along tutorial will take you step by step through an actual publish process - complete with errors and rejection emails from Epic - can't skip those "learning opportunities"!

You can quickly convert a static mesh into a skeletal mesh, build a skeleton, paint weights, and even create a Control Rig for a simple prop so that you can animate it in a level sequence - or just deform it for a static pose. So powerful!

What's up Medea's hair?? What happened between Mixamo and Unreal that made her hair disappear, and how do we fix it?You'll learn a bit about materials, alpha channels, translucency, and even dabble in Substrate, Unreal's new material paradigm...

Have you always wanted to learn blender, but didn't know where to start? Well, here you go!A Production Designer friend said he wanted to learn enough blender so he could block out a 3D scene, render, and then do paint overs. He said it would save him a ton of time! So this tutorial is really for him - but I am sure many more folks can benefit from this Blender Quickstart as well. The concepts are the same for anyone learning Blender. If y'all show an interest, I can continue the series as well - just lemme know in the comments what else would be useful...
