Root Motion Locomotion System - Tutorial on UE5
In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of setting up and optimizing a root motion-based locomotion system, including input keys, movement mechanics, camera management, and more. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this video has something for you.
📚 In this tutorial, you will learn:
Managing camera movement, including camera lag and FOV.
Implementing animation blueprints and setting rotation rates.
Calculating character speed using root motion.
Selecting and managing stand-to-move animations.
Usage of animation graphs and blending poses.
Usage of state machines.
⌨️ Input keys:
Press "Space Bar" = Start Jump.
Press "W,A,S,D" = Start to Move.
Press "F" = Hold Weapon.
