As consequence Climb_Montage uses for now ClimbAdjTest and Crouch_to_StandClimbAdjTest. The latter makes Z start at 0 and goes down -60. The -60 is not fully taken into account, however it avoid a camera glitch that would be appear between 0 and -40. | ||

==Programs and automation== | |||
Epic seems to keep adding Python support so some aspects of workflows can be automated with more ease. | |||
Therefore Blender and Unreal seems to be a good combination in the future. | |||
'''List of interesting programs beside UE4/5:''' | |||
* '''Blender''' (general 3D and animations) | |||
* '''Subtance''' (high-end material creation) | |||
* '''Zbrush''' (so far more suited for "organic" character creation than Blender) | |||
At some point [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW_00xWZNIE Datasmith (export addons for more professional programs) / Visual Data Prep] might be worth a look. | |||
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSRZ1ipQ19o Visual Dataprep (Mathew Wadstein)] | |||
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3808gO4Zl4&t=363s Visual Dataprep with a material substitute table (Unreal Engine)] | |||
'''List of languages that can work together:''' | |||
* '''Blueprints''' (you could say "Visual Scripting of C++") | |||
** It allows relative easy programming (or more exactly "scripting") for doing standard stuff. Professionals consider it more as "rapid prototyping" to demo something. | |||
* '''C++''' (add new functionality) | |||
* '''Python''' (automation, managing assets) | |||
'''Things that can be automated''' | |||
Objects: Within Blender Python can be used to generate series of objects differing in color, material and what not. | |||
Export: export settings can be called from script. | |||
Import: Python works also with the Unreal editor... | |||
* import per se | |||
* class creation | |||
Placement: Python can place assets into a level. | |||
<!-- export? --> | |||

==Working with C++== | |||
Note of warning: Unreal Engine gets updates on a regular basis. To have always the most and up-to-date features available one would need to transfer own code from an old engine to the new one. | |||
==Best practices to import old content?== | |||

* textures | |||
* materials | |||
* sounds | |||
* particle | |||
* collections (tables) | |||

** core geometry (workaround for collision problems? breaking things up?) | |||
** furniture (with/without collision boxes) | |||
