Facial Animation & More In Unreal Engine! | 3D Animation (Udemy.com)

This a good course which touches upon the Basics of all the animation aspects of Daz Character inside unreal engine. Howsoever there are a few things which I must mention a) This course needs a serious updating. The Engine Versions have changed and the Anim Graph does not even resembles anything near close to this course. This leads us struggle throughout inside Unreal Engine. b) This couse needs to deal a little more into animations. I know there is another course of the same Tutor, but that is using All Right Rig, which again is outdated. In absence of these two this course looses it's relevance and efficacy at this time.

El instructor muy bueno, el curso va fluido y no pierde el tiempo. Pero considero que el curso es muy básico, esperaba que fuera un poco más allá con la producción de animaciones, te enseña muy lo básico. La calificación baja es porque el curso está desactualizado. Hay cosas que ya no se hacen igual, si eres muy principiante con unreal te puedes perder. Pero lo que te enseña son cosas concretas e importantes. Lo recomiendo si eres nivel 0 en animaciones.

Excellent course nailing down the basics of Facial animation. Excellent step by step in creating basic facial movements and lip sync along with creating audio tracks and matching the two up. Blendspaces was one of my favorite parts. The course content is very well laid out, concise and and easy to understand. Mike answered all of my questions in a timely manner and got me back on track and excited to learn more. Would definitely recommend this course!

I am happy if you make new lecture (or bonus lectute) about how to change Daz character's material from origianal to Epic's digital human's skin, hair and cloth shader. I hope you make new lecture about facial animation with not animetion asset editor but UE4's sequencer and allright rig.

This is a great basic course for UE4 Character animations it covers not just Facial Animation but also how to work with bones and animations taken from the UE4 marketplace. The course is slow and thorough. No jumps, or unexplained gaps. Sometimes, it was a bit too slow for me, but the information I got was valuable enough for me to sit tight and wait. Now at the end of the course I really wonder if there isn't a way to reduce the mass of key-frames that are created when recording an animation into a clean animation curve. But for now I have a lot to play around with and too see how far this knowledge can get me. But I am almost sure that I will try another course from this author. Very recommendable!

Obwohl ich bei 43% des Kurses ziemlich frustriert war, ich habe mich nicht direkt an die Vorgaben gehalten und meine eigenen Modelle benutzt, sowie das tempo von Michael Ricks hat mich überrascht. Ist der Kurs sehr informativ, wenn auch etwas oberflächlich im Bezug zu den Ausdrücken eines Gesichtes, es ist sicherlich kein leichtes Thema. Dies ist hier meine Berichtigung von 3 Sterne auf 4.5 Sterne weil: Erstens; Der Content den Michael Ricks zur Verfügung stellt ist absolut genial, Figuren sind der Oberhammer und auch die Häuschen sind sehr cool. Der Dozent versteht es auch hier eine Brücke zu schlagen zwischen DAZ Studio und Unreal 4. Zweitens: Durch die Anwendung der verschiedenen Gratis Programme und sogar eines Extras zu Animation deckt Er beinahe Ausnahmslos alles ab was man benötig um einen Einblick in die Materie zu gewähren. Der halbe Stern Abzug ist, weil ich der Meinung bin das durch das erhöhte Tempo die Begeisterung zu kurz kommt und man aufpassen muss, keine Fehler zu machen Ich empfehle diesen Kurs nach einer Einführung in UE4 wärmstens weiter allerdings ist eine Einführung Pflicht, danach kann der Spass losgehen

An excellent introduction to character animation in Unreal 4, an area of the engine I had left alone until this course because it just seemed too big and confusing a topic. Fortunately Michael walks you through all the various aspects of it in an intuitive and friendly way. The only thing I would (respectfully) disagree with is the final lesson where the instructor shows you how to add movement to a character walking in place, it's arguably a lot more flexible to move them inside sequencer, that way you can adjust the distance more easily should you change any props in the scene, etc. But overall I am more than happy about purchasing this course and look forward to creating my own movies using the technology.

Very good course, great addition to his first course, learn animation in UE4. Ricks covers a lot of interesting information and shows some real world examples of how to use the technics he teaches. I look forward to his other courses While the Akeytsu software discussed in the final video looks promising, I would recommend looking into the Daz options before buying it. Daz offers animate2, graphmate and Keymate makes daz a much more animation friendly environment. With a final cost of $140, even cheaper if you pick up on sale, it is $40 cheaper than Akeytsu.

Je suis particulièrement familier de DAZ studio et pourtant j'ai découvert avec cette première partie de cours, quelques éléments que je ne connaissais pas.. la diction est parfaite, claire et posée, totalement compréhensible, bien que l'anglais ne soit pas ma première langue. Concernant la partie plus spécifique d'UE4, programme pour lequel j'ai choisi ce cours, je dois admettre que c'est l'un des meilleurs tutos qu'il m’ait été donné de suivre. Complet au delà de mes attentes, progressif, c'est la base idéale dont j'avais besoin pour débuter et progresser sur l'animation dans Unreal Engine 4 Je ne sais pas si un cours sur Akeytsu est prévu, mais un développement sur la partie import /export et rigging pour UE4 serait vraiment le complément idéal de ce tutos déjà parfait. Merci pour cet excellent moment d’études.

Absolute amazing course,Ive been after something like this for a while now,After this course it well open many new doors on the cinematic side that you never knew they were there For anyone who is interested in making games with high end cutscenes then seriously ,THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU!!! Very easy to follow,Many courses you have to continously skip back to see how they done things,But pace of this course for beginners like myself is pitch perfect Thanks for giving me the extra tools & knowledge to hopefully vastly improve my game in the future
