We import a weapon mesh from SketchFab and use it as spawnable Lyra weapon. Animation related concepts discussed:
- Two Bone IK
- Blend pose by bool
- Layered blend per bone
- Gameplay Tag to control booleans via Propery Mapping
- Tracking weapon sockets to adjust left hand IK
We use a one hand Argonian Mace and a two hand Long Sword to show the concept.
Unreal 5.2 used with the latest Lyra build.
