Enhancing Your Animation Workflow with Unreal Engine Control Rig

Are you looking to elevate your animation game within Unreal Engine? In this blog post, we will delve into the process of taking your creations from the sequencer with control rig and exporting them into animation clips usable inside the animation blueprint. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a beginner in the world of animation, understanding this workflow can significantly enhance your productivity and creative capabilities. Let's explore the steps to optimize your animation workflow efficiently.

Creating and Exporting Animation Clips

To begin, let's walk through the process of exporting animations from the sequencer to the animation blueprint using control rig. This method involves creating a Level Sequence and integrating your control rig within the sequencer.

1. Setting Up Your Animation:

   • Drag your control rig into the sequencer.
   • Add a track for your control rig to start animating.
   • Establish the animation by setting up key poses or movements.

2. Exporting as Linked Anim Sequence:

   • Save your sequence in the desired folder.
   • Export it as an .anim sequence asset.
   • This asset links your sequencer object to the animation sequence, enabling easy adjustments and updates.

3. Baking the Animation Sequence:

   • Alternatively, you can bake the animation sequence for a standalone asset.
   • This method generates an .atomo asset that can be utilized in the animation blueprint.

Advantages of Linked Anim Sequence

Utilizing the linked anim sequence method offers a range of benefits for your workflow:

• Flexibility for Adjustments: Any changes made to the original animations reflect across the linked sequence, streamlining editing processes.
• Efficiency in Workflow: Updates to animations automatically propagate to the animation blueprint, ensuring consistency and ease of use.

Elevating Your Animation Experience

By leveraging the capabilities of Unreal Engine's control rig and sequencer, you can refine your animation process without the need for external software. Whether you are creating intricate character movements or dynamic scenes, this workflow empowers you to bring your vision to life seamlessly within the Unreal Engine environment.
