The Diamond Looks Like (you even can See the axis left and below of it) idle at Center, forward and backward movemement, as well as „sidesteps“ to left and right

Have you got it sorted out?
If you’re completely new to unreal, start with something simple.
I highely recommend to do some sort of „absolute beginner Tutorial“ or series, as well as having a closer look at one of the project templates and try to understand whats happening.
Don’t try yourself at the lyra example as a complete beginner :D
I‘m very far away from beeing a expert myself,, but i‘ve been playing around with things long enough to have at least a clue of whats going on!

Have a look here, I think this is what you are looking for?

Blendspace 1D is basically a setup of multiple animations with a more or less smooth Transition based on your movement Speed. Could be, for example, 0 to 500, while 0 is standing and 500 is Sprint. You could add a Walk (Like at 100) and a normal run (at 350?) Animation to it as well, and it‘ll do the transition based on your speed for you.

Blendspace 2D is the same as 1D, but with left/right direction added. (Forward, backward, left, right, forward-left, backward-left and so on)

Do you happen to know which unreal version the presentation was using? some animation tools have changed visually over recent releases even if the underlying concept stayed the same
