Hi,

I create two animation using Maximo Character. From Blend Space 1D, i encounter a Error or Bug from a created new Rig.  
The previewing my character “Run” animated going moving from place. But in Animation Pack its “Run” but steady from original place.

Please help me, what i will do. Because in games or i play my character Run its not normal.

Using UE4.4.3. Thanks 😉

Hi ,

What you are seeing there is the difference between Root Motion and standard animation. You will want to take a look at our guide for setting up your character’s root motion here: [Root Motion in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation](https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Animation/RootMotion/index.html)

Essentially, if your animation will need to be relevant to the capsule, then you will need to use root motion. Let me know if that helps.

We do not have any official videos about this to my knowledge. You will want to check out this community member’s video for an explanation of rootmotion in UE4:

And these videos may help as well:

> After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — https://unrealcommunity.wiki/! You will be able to find content from...

Let me know if that helps.
