Power IK - How are user experiences with plugin? I am trying to do UE 5 IK animation of animals and people

Development Character & Animation
1

Hi,

I am trying to animate characters (person, animal), where they move along a mesh. The mesh can be uneven. The mesh represents a ground terrain that corresponds to ground in real video footage with moving camera. I do camera solve in SynthEyes, build the ground mesh there, then import in UE.

I am adding the animations via sequencer and am not making a game. It is a filmmaking project.

I saw this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2uaHvXGk1k&list=PLNTm9yU0zou7uxai1FL2aIupYjVsKo6sP&index=1

but can’t seem to get this approach working. When I get to about 5:30 mark in the video, UE viewport freezes up after I create blueprint, compile, save, then hit play button.

Then I saw Power IK in marketplace. Curious if this is a good way to implement IK with feet following a specified mesh.

thanks

actually, I see the plugin is for UE 4…
