Hey everyone, I basically want to animate very simple stuff inside unreal without resorting to third party software for the sake of flexibility,. However, every tutorial I was able to find only shows you how to edit an imported animation. My question is, how do I create an animation from scratch for my skeletal mesh within Unreal?
Thanks!
Using sequencer.
Animating static meshes is as simple as adding them to a sequence and keyframe.
Animating skeletal meshes from scratch requires a Control rig setup using your skeletal mesh.
That avatar you have shows a control rig skeletal mesh animating
