Make your character movement look professional and fluid! In Part 35 of the Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial Series, we take our imported animations and combine them using a 1D Blend Space.
A Blend Space is a special asset that allows Unreal Engine to transition smoothly between different animations—like Idle, Walk, and Run—based on a variable like "Speed." In this video, you will learn how to set up the axis settings, define your character's maximum velocity, and snap your animation assets to the grid to create a seamless transition. By the end of this lesson, you’ll have a single asset that handles all of Blip's ground movement!
