Testing the new Dynamics – Particle Based Physics for Control Rig plugin in Unreal Engine. Really impressed with how quickly secondary motion can be added directly inside Control Rig. The setup feels lightweight, intuitive, and very fast for prototyping dynamic animation behaviors in gameplay rigs. Excited to explore more possibilities for real-time character workflows. #UnrealEngine #UE5 #ControlRig #TechnicalAnimation #GameDev #Animation #Rigging #RealtimeAnimation #GameplayAnimation #UnrealEngine5 #TechArt #GameDevelopment

Epic Games released UE 5.7! It's a massive update for environment artists and animators. Nanite Voxels allows for rendering incredibly dense, massive-scale foliage (like forests or ground clutter) without needing to author LODs, eliminating cross-fades and pop-in. This is a game-changer for open-world performance. They've also integrated industry-standard sculpting workflows directly into the Skeletal Editor, making building complex rigs with dozens of blend shapes far more efficient. It also introduces one-way physics world collisions for better ragdoll and interaction testing. This update pushes procedural generation and high-fidelity open worlds closer to real-time baseline expectations.

So what’s the difference between a game that feels visceral and memorable versus one that’s forgettable? In this video, Alexander goes over the following (featuring André from Mix and Jam): - How to bridge between the back-end simulation and satisfying gameplay  - What makes gameplay feel responsive, satisfying, and readable - How pushback, sound, and VFX immediately change how gameplay feels - What design techniques can produce gameplay that gets noticed and share Check out the full video here → https://lnkd.in/eY7wqnFW
