I've been making films and doing visual effects on indie films for over 15 years. When I discovered Unreal Engine 4 I was blown away by it's realistic real-time rendering engine! I immediately saw that Unreal Engine (UE4) was a game changer and that it had now become possible for a small studio consisting of a few artists to pull off a Hollywood quality feature length animated film!
In the past it would take hours, if not days, to render each frame of an animation, which made it impossible for an independent artist to complete a full length film. It would literally take years to render all the frames of a movie!
All this has changed with Unreal Engine 4 - the playing field has been leveled and it is now truly up to the talents and skill set of the artist/storyteller to create their vision. No longer will you be held back due to limitations of technology.
Join with me as we begin a journey in using this awesome tool-set - I think you will find it not only fun, but extremely satisfying on a creative level.

Was good! Just the part about the heel and toe sockets caught me off guard. It's not in the video, but it is documented in the course pdf.

C'est incroyable! Enfin l'outil que j'attendais pour les personnages de DAZ. Par contre, je dois apprendre UE4 qui est compltement nouveau mais le cours est bien expliqu.

????????UE4????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Awesome, I'm going through all your courses and would be pretty lost without them.

Fun course.

I'm relatively new to animation but this seemed like the perfect companion tool to getting into animating using the ARR plugin tool within UE4. There is a lot of info covered in this, take your time and check ahead as I often found myself asking questions that were already answered later in the course. Mike is very helpful and happy to answer any questions you have.

The tutor speaks loud and clear and also for non-native speakers very well understandable. The course is very clear and well structured. Makes you want to more....

This is a good introduction to how the Allright rig works. I enjoy the style of the instructor and this is the second course of his I have taken.

Course is fine, getting older versions loaded and it crashing my computer (i9=9900k, with an NVIDIA 2080 rtx for real I've never seen it load anything this poorly)After loading the course has been pretty decent thus far, quick workflow. Just the initial loads of 4.17.

A few more hoops to jump through than usual, but well worth the effort once properly set up. Updated reviews to follow.

Pretty good course to get you started, but you will still want to read through the online documentation for Allright Rig if you are doing more than just playing around. This course is just covering the very basics. I think there are a few things that have been added to Allright Rig since this course was created, so also keep that in mind. Would be nice to see the course updated with more detail...

Easy to get into, resources were easy to download, so far it seems easy to use. Pace is a little slow and some things were repeated. Time could have been better used by giving extra explanations of options not covered.What I missed was more in depth covering of cooperation between allright and standard unreal animation system, especially how to overlay one animation over the other to alter an existing one, for instance to create one set of animation for a female character and then add modifications for high heels with the same animations. Maybe that's not possible with allright but in that case there should be some closing remarks like "This is all there is possible, don't look for other features" or so, because I am left wondering if those things that work in UE animation are also possible with allright or not.All in all the course is good for an absolute beginner with allright and gives a good overview of the most important tasks.
