Ok a few things here version 5.6
Ambitionous student who has doen two unreal college courses so although im going way past deadliens to make animalt sewquests with lots of assets teyignt o mae miximo aniamltiosn, very lonmg like several munites complace camera paths, multiple camera fligths with many many key frames turns etc. and addign loads of assts.
Still cluless
DOnt know anythgin about blue prints
Not tryign to make a game, Kinds tryignt o use Ureal as one woudl after effects as a 3d animation program only we were taught to do this as a 3rd persopn game but effectly its placign props, characters, manybe animatign said cahractera dn the camers in a sequence
Only haveing bucket loads of problems mainly associated with how to save this.
If I write say a essay in word and say every 10, 15, maybe 30 minuts save incrementally ie version 1,2,3,4
Its saves eveything at version 1 point version 2, 3 etc
Just like photoshop, premier whatever.
Im confused whey in unreal you appear to have to save he sequence of camper and asset animnations separatemey to the level… So I have level1,2,3,4, and sequene 1,2,3,4
Only each time I do save all many of my camera and actors go red and say they need reassiagnment which is an incredibly time wasting pain in the neck especially if ai have a load of characters camers props etc.
But whatg is far more a problem if my sequences despite appearign to same propelry as version 1, duplicate version 2 with new thumbnail, version 3, and savign all for the level etc.
I then appear to loose like the last days or several hours worth of camera movement that may invove liek 100 little movements smoothign tweaks etc.
liek despite saving verion 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 or having saved version8 and duplicatign 8 as 9 and 10 for safety, they all appear to be what I saved at version 3 and having to reattached actiosn , ie instead of a 5 min video its gone back to 3 minutes.
or if Im liky the corrects sequence may be attached to versuoin 5 instead of the latest one and then mmay as well erase version 6,7,8,9 and 10 as thery are all like version 3.
Whats causing this.
Spomonesaid if got to do with references and they are attached or referenced to the earler version and whan I tried to make more version as the normal safety as I woudl any report, assignment cv or phtooshop design its not been savign what ever stage I was at
Ie the mouse came out, then the cat chansed the mlouse, the dog chased the cat, the lion after the cat then the dinsaur, bigger one then the megaldon ate it.
its goign back to the dog chasing the cat.
How to I stop this happineign so when I save it saves everythgin peoirply not missign parts and loosing animation work etc pl;ease.
Do I have to sparwn these, make up a blueprint what ever that is, how can I make sure everythgin always references the laters sequence etc?
Im tryiiong to do two animated sequences. One where Im made a base buildign in a ccreator with a base with an industrial area, landign pad etc and having the camera do a tour.
The other is liek a music video where there is an establishign shot then a beach bar, the the camer follows a cat to find a skate dude dancign when he dacign out into ab each bars for a bit, lots of dyunamic camera movements with miximo anaimatrion and film extras, a flight cutway sequence and them back to the rest of the dance .
How do I do this safely so it saves proreperly and dont loose hours of work please
