00:00Hello and welcome to Unreal Engine. Now I'll be showing you today how to get a
00:06character up and working, nice easy and simple, absolutely from scratch. Super easy.
00:13Now supposing you've got a character from Mixamo, if you've got one from there,
00:18if you've got your own character, this process will work exactly the same for
00:22your character. So first things first, we want to go here and what we want to do
00:27we can jump into gameplay, we're not going to play the game but it's going to
00:30make you test it. We want a character like this so we can run around the level and move.
00:35Okay, nice easy and simple. Okay first of all go here, open it. Now what I want to tell you to do is if you go anywhere in the file, go here, go to new, create a new file, I'll call it mmbcube, actually I won't call it that,
00:55what I'll call that, is exactly what it is, now I can't have spaces in it because this
01:02industry doesn't like spaces in it. So I'll call it Mixamo to Unreal. Okay, that's how easy it is.
01:13Okay, now of course you can put a character in here, now the character I'm using is called Olivia, go here.
01:19If you go to downloads, I've already downloaded my character, you see her, there she is there.
01:25So I'll be basically dragging and dropping into the game world. Now when you start a new project,
01:31if you don't know this, I'm going to tell you before you start. Okay, I'll keep the video as short as possible.
01:36Okay, go here, go edit, go to plugins, you say well I don't need to go there, you do need to go here.
01:44If you scroll down, and you want to go to come down menu, you want to find importers, this one here,
01:51scroll down by standard default, this one is not turned on, turning on, this is so you can import
02:00FBX. Okay, and myself personally, I like to use Glyph, so I use Glyph. Once you tick that and tick that,
02:09then click restart, and restarting. Okay, once again, once it closes, reopens, go back to your file.
02:19Of course, what you would do in here, you'd make a new file, and you, now I know Olivia is called CH11,
02:28that's what she's called, and I'll say you don't have to put that, you can put whatever you want.
02:32Okay, I was going to call it that because I know she's called that. Okay, click that,
02:37and say look, CH11, that's what she's called. Okay, now the very first thing you want to do is,
02:43when you're on Mixamo, you want to click your character in the T-Pose, download her,
02:50this is the T-Pose right there, you want to download that in an idle, a walk, and a run.
02:57That's what you need. Okay, so grab the T-Pose, grab it, bring it over, let go of it.
03:03Now, if you move it out of the way, so you don't get confused, grab the T-Pose, bring it in, let go.
03:10It opens like this, leave it exactly as it is, bring it up on the screen so you can see.
03:15I think it's on the screen, can I scale it? Can I scale it? Okay, it's slightly off the screen a little bit,
03:24just there, just go import, you can import all of it, or just import, just import it. Okay,
03:30bring it in, just to kind of speed up the process. As I said, it's not long, it's been about 15 minutes
03:36of that, and you'll have a fully working character, more or less. So I think, okay, kind of great.
03:41So you're going to get you working up and running inside of the Unreal Engine, just in case you've got a
03:47character, and you're in having it for months, and you can't get it to work. Bring it up a little bit.
03:53Okay, now what you want to do in here, just right click, you don't have to do this part,
03:58I'm going to do it, but you can go here, you can go into the new file, you can call it a F,
04:06if you want to, and then inside here, open it, go back to your downloads,
04:12do, do, do my videos, go back to my downloads, and grab my index,
04:17and item, bring that in here, let go, grab it, hold it, drag it, let go,
04:25it should drop inside there, let me move this off the screen a little bit.
04:29Okay, so I want to grab this and bring it into the center of the screen, let go of it.
04:33When it comes in, you see this one here, see this, I'll take it, go here, select your character,
04:42and go in form.
04:43It comes in, it comes in with the character and the tipos, so I can click on here, if I want to,
04:53because I know there's a tipos,
04:55and this is the idle, it's got animation on it, and Mixamo on it, you can leave Mixamo on it,
05:06if you want to, or you can take it off, and just the idle to say confusing things,
05:12nice, easy, simple, go back to your downloads, get the walk, bring that in,
05:17the second, go back to the top, I'll tick that, tick this, Olivia, yep, now this might not be Olivia,
05:27this might be your character, and open it, that's a walk-in, press save,
05:34this one is a tipos, I don't need it, right click and go delete, okay, so this is a walk-in animation,
05:41again, it's got Mixamo on it, you can leave it on there if you want to, as I said, it's entirely
05:46optional, but really, anyway, it's up to you, if you leave it on, take it off, okay, now what you
05:53want to do, you want to run, grab that, bring that in, when it comes in, I'll tick that, this,
06:02tick Olivia, tick your character, whichever the case may be, yep, okay, this one is the running,
06:11save, press save, opening, this one is a tipos, right click and delete it, now of course the tipos comes in with my characters,
06:22with all my characters, because I've got them saved together, okay, go here, now even though I'm showing
06:30you how to import them, this is how you have to import it, now I don't do it on this, I just import one animation,
06:37one character, and all of the animations are in solid, one character, I'll show you how to do it later,
06:43it saves you a lot of time, it does, because you've got a lot of animations, it's going to take
06:48you a while to install it, but don't forget, once you're doing, everything works, okay, now you can go
06:54back to your standard character, back in here, okay, what you want to do now is get the character working
07:00proper, before you do that, you see all these little jigsaw puzzles, you have to get rid of them,
07:06open it, just press save and closing, okay, do the same, you want opening, saving and closing,
07:15okay, all the little jigsaw puzzles disappear, I don't know why you have to do this, yeah,
07:21it's, yeah, I have to do it every single time I actually make a project, but, yeah, it's kind of a
07:28little bit annoying, honestly, as I just open it, save it, and then, yeah, I did have an email from
07:35someone on the internet, they said, if I click on save the project, I don't have to keep doing that,
07:44and, as you can see, it doesn't work, and opening, you have to do it manually, well, all you have to do
07:51manually, so, if you know where around that, let me know how to do it, or appreciate it, as I've gone
07:58through hours and hours worth of video, just want to find out how to do it, but, yeah,
08:05not one of the videos would work, so if you can do it, great, okay, there's no point showing someone
08:10content or that, and, now, what you can do here, you see your character, if you want to, you can open
08:16your character, but some people show me this, and some people don't, and, you can go here, new,
08:22pick your character, put her in here, okay, you can go down here, if you want to, press humanoid,
08:32just auto map, and what it does, it maps your character, press here, save, and say close,
08:42okay, the character is fully mapped, how great is that, okay, right click, go over here, animation,
08:51now, over here, you're going to see blend space, this is where we're going to add the animations,
08:56and this one up here, is where we control the character in the game world, okay, so go here
09:04first, pick your character, when it comes in, it's over here, you can name it if you want to,
09:11okay, now, if you want to name that, you can name it, I'm going to go over here, I'm going to copy this
09:16name, I'm going to go right click, rename, I'm not going to rename it, I'm going to copy the name,
09:21and then I'm going to open the back, hang it back up, go back to the file, as I say, it's called blend space,
09:261D, I'm going to grab this over here, I'm going to go blend space, and I'm going to change the name,
09:35I'm going to go mixer mode to Unreal 4, like that, nice, easy, and I'll pull this up a bit so you can
09:43see what I'm doing, as I say, I want to call it that, that's what I want to call it, okay, so this here,
09:51my correct animation is my blend space, open it, now the blend space is nice, easy, and simple,
09:58okay, first of all, make sure there's no puzzles on it, is there any puzzles on that, just go here,
10:03and save it, go over here, press this, like open it, and then close it like that, and you'll see this,
10:10opening, you see his name here, where it goes zone, that's down here, look, okay, up here,
10:18you want to type speed, speed, speed, that will change down here, speed, I think great,
10:31okay, now, you see here, now you see the jigsaw puzzle on it, go here, save it, and it disappears,
10:49click on it, so it changes, I don't know if it changes, but it changes, okay, take the idle,
10:56and put it right there, as you can see the character's idle, grab that little breathing,
11:01okay, press on to walk, put it in the centre, now if you start walking, and you can go to run,
11:11and put it at the end, now this little breathing makes you stop, that's idle, walk, and run,
11:19how beautiful and easy was that, you know that's easy, right, okay, that's how easy that is,
11:27I apologize that it was off the screen, but that's where it goes, and sometimes I forget,
11:31anyway, that's how easy that is, okay, I was just making sure that you look at this part,
11:36and set this part up, okay, that's done, that's it, that's what you have to do with that, okay,
11:41you can add more animation to it later, okay, let's go back here,
11:45and what you want to do is go back to animation, create this animation blueprint,
11:53go back to your character, say, yep, when this one comes in, click on it,
11:59and then let's go back to the first beginning of it, call it whatever you're going to call it,
12:05you don't have to name it, you can leave it as it is, okay, I'm going to call it, again,
12:10you set animation blueprint, this is all confined in the moment, okay, open it,
12:16there's a little bit of coding going on inside here, honestly, but, yeah,
12:21yeah, unfortunately for you, you have to do it, okay, first things first, go over here,
12:29where there's variables, this is a nice easy variable, that's this, type here, speed,
12:36okay, press enter, go over here, change it from balloon to float, because that's what it is,
12:48press this, and press this, okay, save it, just leave it there and save it, you're going to use this
12:54twice inside this thing here, okay, what you want to do here is right click, go here, right click,
13:02if you go down the screen, I apologize, go here, type new, if you look down here, you'll see new state
13:14machine, check that, we've got a new state machine, what's that, well, that's what is going to control
13:21all of our animations, check that and stick it inside there, okay, and how beautiful is that,
13:29now, that's it, that's what you have to do with that, press this and save that, now of course,
13:34it's working, but it can't do nothing, go inside here, two clicks, click this, hold it, drag it out,
13:45go here, add a state, now you can type anything on that, you can type motion, you can type locomotion on
13:52it, you can type whatever you want, it's up to you, I don't do nothing to it, I just leave it like that,
13:56and then what I do, I click off it, and then I click it, click it twice, open it, now this is where
14:02we're going to add our animations to it, okay, now what you want to do here is go here, you see,
14:11you see this red one, this is your blend sheet, grab this, bring it over here, let go of it,
14:17put it here, connect the man to the man, nice, easy and simple, great, I think it's perfect,
14:29go over to your speed, click it, hold it, drag it, you'll get two options, this, inside this part,
14:36you want to say get speed, and put this here, and click that into there, that's it, that's all you have
14:45to do for that part, okay, now one little bit, and that's it, the whole character works, go here,
14:54this is what makes the character work, go here, now of course, what you want to do here is pull it out,
14:59okay, you have to type, cast, c, a, s, p, cast, two, if you type ph, look down here, you'll see,
15:14cast two third person character, say, yep, okay, this is nice, easy and simple, okay, I'm just going
15:22to put it there, so it's nice and close together, okay, I'm going to grab this and drag it over here,
15:26okay, I'm going to grab this one, and I'm going to put it inside here, perfect, okay, now, click here,
15:34drag this out, now, inside here, I usually always mess this up, and go here, go here, say get,
15:45when you type get, you're looking for this one, velocity, I always mess it up, I do apologize,
15:53well, sometimes, I really genuinely do mess it up, and this one here, yeah, for about six months,
16:01it was an absolute nightmare, now, click here, pull it out, all you have to do here, you type L,
16:11the letter L, E, N, and what you'll see, you'll say vector length, now, if you type in there, vector length,
16:22I guarantee, it won't find it, it just won't, and, anyway, just type Ali in,
16:30and you'll see vector length, that's that, you say, what's that, and I'll explain to you in a moment,
16:38okay, leave that, okay, I don't want to confuse it, I just want to show you, okay, go here, go back over here,
16:44grab your speed, bring this over here, drop it, and now, don't get the speed,
16:51set the speed, okay, now, when you do that, plug this into there,
16:59and plug this into there, now, if you don't plug that into there, your character won't work,
17:06you have to plug it in, simple as that, go here, and go here, go here, now,
17:14for the moment of truth, will it work, well, we're going to find out, okay, click the character,
17:22come over here, press Eddie, go here, click the character, okay, over here, you'll see character,
17:31press this, pick your character, change to Olivia, say hello Olivia, can you move, she goes, yeah,
17:40I can move, she'll give me an animation, I think, okay, Olivia, take it easy, press this,
17:46lock down your menu, and you'll mix the mode to Unreal, remember the blueprint we made,
17:53and I called it that, you can call it ever V-cubes, you can call it whatever you want,
17:58as I said, you can even give it the same name as your character, so when you lock down the list,
18:02you know exactly what you're looking for, now, I called it that, because it don't matter what
18:07character that you bring in here for mixing mode, it works with any of the characters, go here,
18:13say yeah, now, you see she's moving, I think, hello Olivia, you're looking kind of great,
18:19if you're working the game, she's absolutely fantastic, there she is, she's moving, go here,
18:27play, Olivia, don't make me look silly, oh look at that,
18:38don't you think that's great, super fast, super easy, we can even jump, yeah, so from me,
18:45from Olivia, from Mixamo, I will say thanks very much for all of your time, I really hope you
