Guide to placing and sampling AnimationSequences in AnimBlueprints

Choose your operating system:

Playback of Animation Sequences can be performed through code, but is generally handled within an instance of an Animation Blueprint applied to a Skeletal Mesh Component. All of the Animation Sequences for the Skeleton the Animation Blueprint was created from are available to be sampled within the AnimGraph . These can be placed as sequence player nodes whose output is a pose generated by sampling the Animation Sequences.

To place a sequence player:

  1. Right-click in the AnimGraph of your Animation Blueprint and expand the Animations category.

    Using Animation Sequences - List

  2. Select the Animation Sequence to be sampled from the list. A node is placed in the graph for the sequence.

  3. The pose output of the new node can be connected to a corresponding pose input on any animation node to sample the animation.
