Given all the changes that happened for it - the Engine needs:
- New animation documentation.
- All animation assets in all templates corrected.
- A proper tutorial line on how to PROPERLY do animation - with optimization fast path in mind.
This is the most important thing as it directly affects new comers, and experts alike.
To use fast path, you have to think differently.
While you cannot really teach people how to think, You can start by pointing out that almost ALL the official samples do it incorrectly. And providing ways to do it “right”.
Also, while on this topic…
Fixing up the animations distributed along with the mannequin so they are actually correct and do not purely rely on re-target settings to work may actually be beneficial to Everyone.
This has been factually broken as shown by various tutorials since before 2015:

(Meant to share the full playlist which eventually even shows the dropped shoulder error present everywhere).
If the team is interested in a proper “learner progression”, I think that maybe first things have to be scripted up so as to follow your own standards. No?
No. Then how about the standards that work providers REQUIRE ? like fast path ?
