Ask Epic Anything: Animation & Cinematics | June 21st, 2023 at 10AM EST

  1. Is there any support or planned support for virtual tracked cameras in UEFN? (i.e., holding and controlling a tracked object to represent a virtual camera for organic camera shake, etc)

  2. What is the best current process for facial animation inside of UEFN? Are there any easy or out the door solutions that work?

  3. There is quite a broad question - but is there any type of support for external APIs in UEFN? (An example of this may be playing voice lines into a cinematic that are controlled or changed by an API or stored on an external cloud service, or music that is streaming into the game from a third party API) – Assume the answer is a fat “NO”, but love to see if this is even feasible with out UEFN is built, even if it’s down the road.

  4. Any planned improvements for the Video Player device? Is there any known way to play 2d animated images (gifs or the like) or to play pre-rendered cutscenes / cinematics?
