Sequencer for Linear Animation Workflows

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

Sequencer inside Unreal Engine assembles character and environment animation on a single linear timeline, using possessable vs spawnable workflows to either grab in-world actors or spawn temporary cameras and actors that are flushed from memory. Animations stack and blend end-to-end with keyable transforms, cameras use camera film backs and lens kits for photographic exposure and depth of field, and environmental tracks drive fog, lights, clouds and per-material scaler values to create material scaler-driven wetness and timed rain via texture toggles.
