Description

IMPORTANT UPDATE! Allright Rig's price has now been lowered to $49.99 in the Unreal Engine Marketplace.

Even with the introduction of the new Epic Control Rig, I have found the Allright Rig to be a very helpful tool. It's an all in one tool, where you can rig your character's body AND facial morphs, so it is ready for animation in Sequencer.

FINALLY! The Holy Grail of animation (Lip Synch animation) can be done INSIDE of Unreal Engine 4 with the new plugin "Allright Rig 2.0" created by Alexander Shatalov. This course contains over 3.5 hours of video instruction along with:

Presets for Genesis, Genesis 2, Genesis 3, & Genesis 8 characters

No longer do you need to purchase expensive programs such as Maya and 3DS Max to animate your characters - now you can achieve stunning quality with the powerful combination of DAZ Studio, Unreal Engine and Allright Rig 2.0!

Here is some additional information about the plugin:
