Latest. 5.8

Oscar now runs smoothly on Unreal Engine 5.8!

Our famous cat has been updated to the latest 5.8 version of the engine, giving you access to new features for rigging and animation, such as Physics Dynamics and Simple Timeline in Sequencer. Check out our videos on the subject if you want to know more!

Control Rig Dynamics Physics

A new feature has been added to Oscar : Dynamic physics for his tail and ears!

Mapped to the Master Control, the physics can be enabled or disabled through a dedicated Boolean channel.

A separate Boolean channel is also available to toggle the physics debug visualization (particles).

New nodes have been added to both the Construction Event and Forward Solve, labeled Update v1.4.

NEW Level Sequence

To better showcase this physics update, we've added a new Level Sequence with the physics enabled.

GOOGLE Drive Folders

Each update now includes its own documentation in the corresponding folder, making it easy to see what's new in every release.

A lot has been added since the initial 5.5 release, so be sure to check the documentation to make sure you don't miss any of the new features!

This course is a real gold mine if you want to master Control Rig and fur grooming in Unreal.

The explanations are clear, very technical, and go far beyond basic tutorials.

I especially appreciated the section on importing and managing grooms from Blender to Unreal, with concrete, production-ready examples at every step.

And Oscar is too cute!

I first got to know ProjProd through their YouTube videos, which were already very clear and professional, but this course really takes it to the next level.

The Control Rig and the Fur training is extremely thorough, covering everything from rigging characters to managing realistic fur in Unreal Engine 5.

Keep going guys and thanks a lot!

An excellent investment to level up my UE5 skills. The 3-hour duration is very well used, with a strong focus on professional workflows: advanced rigging, FK/IK setups, blend shapes, and fur physics.

You can really feel the instructor’s expertise. This course helped me significantly improve character quality and animation in my real-time projects.

Thanks!
