The plugin should be already installed with the UE4 Project File included with this course. In case it is not, here is the plugin so you can add it to your project.
Learn to rig a cartoon girl for Unreal Engine 4 and execute lip sync animation, applying 3D character rigging techniques for expressive motion.
Explore rigging your character for 3D animation in Unreal Engine 4 through the Pixie animation test.
Learn to rig a character for 3d animation in Unreal Engine 4, using a hookah cat animation example.
Explore rigging a mannequin for 3d animation in Unreal Engine 4 using Allright Rig, illustrated by an example animation.
This four minute video shows the incredible power of the Allright Rig 2.0 plugin for Unreal Engine 4
Example of rig animation
Creation of facial morphs and poses

Adding poses to character
(I suggest slowing this video down so you can see the steps Alex is doing)
Take a quick tour of the Unreal Engine 4 project, inspecting the dweller, kite boy, and the manakin, fully rigged with all right rig 1.3, plus pre-made sequencer scenes.
Master the dweller rig setup in Unreal Engine with All Right Rig presets, load and save rig settings, configure IK/FK, scale controllers, and prepare animation in Sequencer.
Create a level sequence in sequencer for a simple character animation with camera cuts, keyframes, and autokey; adjust focus and head controls for natural motion before exporting.
Bake the animation to an asset and add it to a new sequence with the character. Render the video using the camera cut track with controllers hidden.
Prepare genesis 3 and genesis 8 characters for Unreal Engine by re-parenting arm and leg bones for all rig 2.0, and export facial morphs and expressions.
Export Genesis 3 or Genesis 8 characters as FBX with proper twist, arm, and leg bone reparenting, morphs, and textures for Unreal Engine 4 rigging 2.0 readiness.
Import and rig a Genesis character with Allright Rig 2.0 in Unreal Engine 4, create an animation blueprint, apply morphs and presets, and test bone transforms and facial controls.
Create and place facial morph controllers and targets on the Genesis rig, rename the rig per character, adjust placement and size, then assign multiple morph targets for expressive animation.
Rig Genesis 3 and Genesis 8 characters in Unreal Engine 4 using presets, rig tools, and animation blueprints. Customize controllers for facial expressions and reset poses for quick animation.
Rig a character from scratch in Unreal Engine 4 by creating an animation blueprint and wiring bone transforms with rig modular, using a starter mannequin as the rigging example.
Rig a character from scratch in Unreal Engine 4 using rig tools and modular rig to build main controller, pelvis, spine IK, arm IK/FK, and finger controls.
Rig the lower body from scratch by adding IK/FK rigs for the legs, adjusting foot and toe sockets, adding twist bones, and re-rigging for both legs, then test in Sequencer.
Create a practice level in unreal engine, import and rig the dweller character, set up an animation blueprint, align materials, and prepare for sequencing to begin animating.
Import the hobbit house, scale the scene, and create a level sequence in the cinematics folder to animate the dweller with the rig and controllers, then export a video.
Export your Unreal Engine 4 animation to a high quality video or image sequence, using a locked camera, and set the frame range; note audio isn’t exported with the sequencer.
Create and save poses with the pose library in all right rig 2.0, including facial expressions, then reset, delete, and apply them in animation and sequencer.
Bring saved poses from the PPO's library into Unreal Engine 4's sequencer to create pose-to-pose animation in a level sequence, using keyframes on all 84 controllers.
In this lecture, Alex (the developer of Allright Rig) demonstrates how to set up a dinosaur character so it's tail moves with real world dynamics! Animation dynamics is a real time saver and gives more realism to your animation.
NOW AVAILABLE FOR FREE! Unreal Engine's new MetaHumans are taking the 3d world by storm! Now you can create your own fully rigged characters ready to be animated in Unreal Engine!
Explore Unreal Engine 5's lumen dynamic global illumination and nanite virtualized geometry, enabling film-quality assets and billions of triangles with real-time lighting, dynamic shadows, and immersive audio, physics, and animation.
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:
Complete Unreal Engine 4 Scene File
Allright Rig 1.3 (free version)
"Dweller" creature character, fully rigged (created by Josh P. Crockett)
Presets for Genesis, Genesis 2, Genesis 3, & Genesis 8 characters
Complete video instruction (over 3.5 hours) on how to rig and animate your character - from beginning to end!
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!
