Basic Motion Capture Layering in Unreal Engine 5
This video shows how multiple motion capture animations can be layered onto a single character in Unreal Engine's Sequencer tool so that two animations can be used to control two different portions of the character's body. The tutorial demonstrates how to setup a simple Animation Blueprint that leverages Unreal's "Slots" and "Layered Blend per Bone" features to define the portions of the character's skeleton that are driven by each animation.
This is the third video in a series on editing motion capture data with Unreal Engine 5. Additional tutorials linked below.
