Welcome to the Motorica Masters! 🎉
Here's everything the select Motorica Masters competitors need to know to create animations and gameplay systems for their competition submission using Motorica’s full toolset.
This guided tutorial covers the complete Motorica workflow—from generating individual animations, to bulk motion matching datasets, to style cloning, to importing everything into Unreal Engine for gameplay. Whether you’re an animator, technical artist, or gameplay programmer, this video will help you move fast and get the most out of your access.

🔧 What You’ll Learn in This Tutorial
1. Motion Stage — Generate one animation at a time
• Test styles, style blends, character settings, seeds, props, retargeting height, and performance variants
• Preview hundreds of styles on the new Tango V1.2 model 
2. Motion Factory — Generate 150–300+ animations in bulk
• Use Simplified Mode to create a full motion matching dataset for your character in minutes
• Use Custom Mode for advanced control: acceleration, deceleration, turn rates, custom paths, reverse workflow, JSON path imports, and phase-shifted variations 
3. Style Cloning — Create your own unique styles
• Upload 5–10 minutes of your own mocap data
• Train your own bespoke style for use in Motion Stage and Motion Factory
• Preview, validate, and refine your style before generating full datasets 
4. Unreal Engine Integration
• Import your full Motorica dataset using the Quick Import plugin
• Retarget automatically to UE5 Manny or your custom character
• Auto-generate Pose Search Databases using Last of Us–inspired schemas
• See your animation system running in-engine within minutes 
5. Reverse Workflow
• Record gameplay capsule movement directly inside Unreal
• Export root-motion paths as JSON
• Regenerate perfectly matching animations from your real gameplay metrics
• Eliminate root-motion mismatch, sliding, and correction artifacts in your game

🎮 What You Can Build for the Competition
By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be able to:
• Generate a complete locomotion set for any character
• Build custom turn, start/stop, strafe, and transition actions
• Create crowds, variants, and rich behavior using seeds and style mixing
• Bring everything into Unreal and assemble a playable, polished motion system ready for submission
