In nuce: A video tutorial has been published on the YouTube channel called Maya Learning Channel, which shows Maya users how to use the Live Link plugin to stream and edit Maya animations – directly as a sequence in the Unreal Engine. Streaming and editing should also be possible in real time.
What is Unreal Live Link? Unreal Live Link should be particularly useful for work in virtual production and video game development. The description of the video tutorial states that the current version (2) of the live-ling plugin also supports user-defined attributes with which users can trigger asset animations within games. The video tutorial in question, entitled “Streaming Maya Animation to Unreal using Live Link”, is linked in full below.
