The latest video in our Character Animation Pipeline tutorial series explains what blendspaces are and how to create them.

Check out the next chapter in our Character Animation Pipeline tutorial series hosted by Roman Perezogin, one of our Junior Technical Designers.  The latest video covers blendspaces, including how to create one, set dimensions, and add annotations. Roman covers the blendspace view in the engine and explains the logic behind it. The video gives you a practical walkthrough of every step you require to understand how to create and use blendspaces in your animation pipeline, including basic and more advanced animation events. By the end of the tutorial, you’ll have a full blendspace for a character in your game, which you can experiment with. You can follow along with the written version of the tutorial.
