Hi!

I’m learning how to create an animation blueprint. To know how it works, I’m checking the `ABP_Unarmed` asset from the Third Person Template

I’ve found a control rig.

Do I always need a Control Rig to create an animation blueprint?

Thanks!

No. Control rig can be used for procedural things like IK for reaching towards objects but are not required for Anim BP.
