Hey, nice work! Thank you!
Very nice man, this will help my melee project alot 
Hi Denny,
I was looking for a solution to use easing in my blueprints. Your library solved my problems.
Thank you!
redbox, TheOneWolf, Malheiro: Thank you for stopping by.
In regards to this thread, sorry for the lack of updates. I have been busy with my day job and freelance in my free time. Downtime is important so Iâm using the few hours I have left to just relax.
Maya Tutorial - Setting up an automated knee
This is not exactly UE4, but it can very well be used for any characters for a game. If youâre interested in rigging I recommend watching this tutorial for how to do a stable automated knee setup for IK legs. 
Maya Tutorial - Using dynamic rotation pivots in your rigs
Another Maya rigging tutorial. Showing how to work with dynamic pivots. I am just about to finish up some freelance tasks which has kept me busy for the last few months, so I can get back to UE4 now.

Some really good stuff here Denny.
Been fiddling with blending/overdriving poses based on your âOvergrowth Styleâ example above.
Shows promise
Thanks!
Very nice man! Iâll definitely find some use for this, visualization is sweet too
Very useful, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the feedback fellas!
Sorry for not doing any updates for a while, life has been super busy. I get my daily UE4-fix at work, so thereâs not much left to do when I get home. Hopefully I can show some interesting stuff in the future.
I would love to see some more in-depth Maya related unique content using ART or a custom solution
Great stuff anyway, really nice RnD
Thanks Nicolas! Iâm going to be honest and say that I will likely never touch ART. I think ART and the whole âdefault human skeletonâ thing might have been one of Epicâs worst decisions, because it locked away several workflows that was previously possible in UE3 and now is impossible. As an example, try sharing an animation blueprint with two characters of different skeleton assets and youâll see what I mean. I wonât go on a longer rant than this, but if I ever am to make more Maya videos, it is going to be done using conventional methods in Maya.
Well, this might interest youâŚMiquel Campos released today mGear, a rigging framework I used A LOT in SoftimageâŚand its soooo gooodddd!!!
Try it, you wont be disappointed
Honestly Iâm really eager to see some tricks in Maya related to rigging ( with or without ART, doesnât really matters ), especially because Iâm about to attempt in recreating Naughty Dog The Last of Us rigging style, for both facial animation ( combination of both blend shapes and joints ) and body rig setup ( proxy bones for wrists and clothes UE4-driven animation ), so some nice tricks will be highly appreciated
Naughty Dog and Bungie always do god-like things with character rigging and pipelines. Studying their methodology more would be fun, but making it look anywhere as good is going to take a lot of hard work. I would love to tackle such a project, but usually it falls short because there are no great character models to work with.
Whenever I have free time I may look into Miquelâs toolset. I personally donât like jumping into other frameworks if I am capable of creating a rig from scratch myself. I already have a lot of tools that I have created myself to streamline my workflow, specifically for games, so I donât know if Miquelâs toolset will help me much. It seems great for movie production, hopefully itâs good for games as well. In the end weâre still in the same spot as with A.R.T.
I believe that every game should have a custom workflow catered to it. Even if it may be tempting to use an existing solution, it is important to balance the proâs and conâs before using it. There are so many technical aspects that need to be setup correctly for an engine.
Animated interpolation with bounce
I created this video as a reply to this AnswerHub thread. It shows how to interpolate an object to follow another with a bounce. Might be useful to some of you.
A candle stick
In the video I happened to use a model I recently made to practice high poly modelling and then baking down to a low poly object. So I chose a very basic prop. I made the UVs so I could add any material I wanted to the mesh without distortion. The materials in the image below are default ones by Epic, but the mesh, LODâs and normal map by me. It was a great learning experience to get clean normal maps into unreal.
I used Maya to create the models and Allegorithmicâs tools, using the Maya scripts, to bake the normal map.
The reason why I havenât been so active here in this thread is because we just released our new game! Another thread already got started, so you can read about it below.
My latest demo reel. Has Unity 5, Unreal Engine 3 and Unreal Engine 4 content.
Student project - Small game with randomized rooms
I recently finished a student project for a 3D course. I made an attempt at generating random rooms with different themes, but with the catch that all meshes in the room to be merged at runtime to reduce draw calls. The game features crude mobile style graphics. You can download the playable build below.
Download playable build (.zip, 76 MB)
The reason for me attempting this is because I have another top-down project in the making, where I want to generate rooms and reduce draw calls. The hope is that I can re-use this prototype to produce a proper system for merging content.
I made all the models in Maya and the textures in MS Paint. Some textures were photo sourced because I couldnât be damned to hand paint such a huge area. I also created the materials, particle effects and fire/light effects. Apart from that everything is programmed or made in blueprint, even the animations are procedural. I didnât use any existing classes except Actor. The whole game is contained in a single level blueprint.
I merge meshes during runtime when the room is spawned. I am quite happy with the system as I support a recursive structure. The floor, walls and ceiling are separate classes which return generated mesh data. I could potentially generate a whole level using recursion if I spent time building the content for it.
I was notified by a user that the download links in this thread does not work, even if they do. For some reason the links has to be copy-pasted into a blank window to work, clicking them does nothing. I canât edit my old posts to add this information so I hope this reply is enough for future reference.
