Using MORPH TARGETS in Unreal Engine for Suspension animation

Описание: This tutorial is based on a viewer request, we'll be showing you how to rig and animate sci-fi landing gear in Unreal Engine using morph targets. We'll begin by setting up the morph targets for the landing gear, and then move on to rigging the gear using bones and constraints. We'll also demonstrate how to use the animation blueprints in Unreal Engine to create the final animation for the landing gear. By the end of the video, you'll have a solid understanding of how to create convincing and realistic animations in Unreal Engine using morph targets.

Function names:
Maya / Blender
Point constraint / Point Constraint
Aim constraint / Track To Constraint
Locator / Empty
Skeleton / Armature
Blend shape / Shape key
