UE5 Sequencer using physics

View fullsize

I wanted to control multiple floating rocks with the same set of animation keys, so I could easily animate their movement synced to my original music track. I made this simple blueprint that enables physics to be controlled with the sequencer, making the rocks float upward or downward based on the music track.

This is the first time Ive just started making things in blueprints to achieve the desired effect, and succeeded. No tutorials guided me on this, I was simply using the tools available and got it to work. That's always an exciting moment. But then afterwards I get sleepy or hungry and stop working on it for months.

Makeshift 2D Rig

I animated this sketch in After Effects with no additional plugins. It's basically a 2d image with puppet pins using parenting and a simple expression to make it a decent makeshift 2D rig.

The music is an original track I recently made in Ableton Live.

Right Side – Two new music tracks

Here's some more original music made in Ableton Live. I called this session Right Side because I moved my recording equipment from the left side of my setup to the right side. That's about as meaningful as it gets these days. It was a productive little session - I got two decent loops out of it. I don't think these are part of the same song, but maybe different parts of the same game level (soundtrack)?

Someday an up-and-coming dope rapper with no beats is gonna meet me and say "dude, where can I get some fresh locally-sourced hip hop beats?", and I'm gonna jump up and say "you are the one!"

I made a new track

Whipped up a new track in Ableton Live. Mostly virtual instruments with some actual guitar with the "parts-caster" my brother made for me.
